Google Tasks on Android Adds Date-Only Deadlines in Phased Rollout

The Android rollout adds date-only deadlines in phases, falling short of time-specific controls in rival apps.

Overview

  • The update lets Android users assign a deadline date to tasks, addressing a long-requested capability.
  • Deadlines currently support only a date with no option to specify a time, as noted by Android Police.
  • Android Central reports the option appears on the task edit screen and the deadline is not shown on the main list.
  • Android Headlines says some users now see the deadline option during task creation as the feature rolls out in batches.
  • Compared with apps like Todoist and Due, Google Tasks still lacks time-based deadlines, reminder nudges, and other advanced management features.
