Google Calendar for Android Adds Full-Screen Task View
The update allows users to manage all tasks in one place, signaling a potential shift away from the standalone Google Tasks app.
- Google Calendar's Android app now features a full-screen task view, enabling users to see all tasks, including those without due dates, in one place.
- The update streamlines task management by allowing users to create, edit, and mark tasks as complete directly within the Calendar app.
- The feature, initially introduced on Google Calendar's web version last year, is now being rolled out to Android users with personal and Google Workspace accounts.
- This integration raises questions about the future of the standalone Google Tasks app, as Google has a history of phasing out standalone products after integrating their features elsewhere.
- Google also announced updates to the Drive Android app, including an improved file picker for easier access to recently viewed and shared files.
