The great novelty that will save you time in your tasks finally arrives in Europe

Our Android mobile is the perfect tool to improve our productivity, and it is not even necessary to install additional applications; With those coming pre-installed by default on most mobile phones sold in Europe, this is enough for most people. For example, Google Calendar is one of those pre-installed apps that is extremely useful and works if we just need a calendar app to jot down our schedule.

But Google Calendar is much more, especially after the latest update that is already reaching users; EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre was able to verify that some Pixel phones and other brands have already received the change, which affects how create tasks directly from the calendar.

Google already has a tasks app, called Tasks; However, it is not as well known or used, perhaps because it does not come preinstalled on Android. Most people use Google Calendar, which also has task-related features; and with today's update, installing Google Tasks is completely unnecessary.

From now on, Google Calendar lets you manage and create tasks directly from the appwithout having to enter tasks or install the application; Indeed, the Tasks functionality is now integrated directly into Calendar, so we imagine that Tasks does not have long to live.

Google Calendar tasks can be accessed via a button in the upper right corner; If we press on it, a new screen will open and show our task lists and the tasks that we have pending, in addition to those that we have completed.

The lists we have created, both in Calendar and in Tasks, are displayed in tabs at the top of the application, and from there we can also create new lists. In the middle part, the open tasks in the list are displayed, including the schedule; and finally, at the bottom you can open the already completed tasks.

These task lists merge the tasks that we had already created in the calendar, in addition to the tasks that we had in Tasks or which do not have a specific time associated with them; for example, general tasks or things we need to do but don't have a deadline.

If we've used Google Tasks, this will all sound very familiar. Google basically integrated the Tasks interface directly into Google Calendar and put a button as a shortcut. All this means we don't really need to install Tasks, since our task lists have already been synced with Calendar.

The only reason why it is always advisable to have the Tasks app is to use your widgetwhich allows us to see the list of tasks and create a new one directly from the home screen; but I hope in the future this feature will also be included in calendar widgets.
