TL;DR
- Google Calendar appears to be replicating the functionality of Google ToDo.
- Calendar is working on support for handling subtasks and lists directly.
- Maybe one day Calendar will replace a dedicated task app.
Indeed, Google seems to enjoy a bit of redundancy when it comes to its apps and services. This often takes the form of integrating features from one feature to another. How many different ways do we already need to access search? Today, we’re learning along these lines that Google Calendar will increasingly do what the Tasks app currently does. We’re checking out one development that raises a few eyebrows, as we’ve spotted signs that it’s on the rise.
Ann APK disassembly It helps predict features that may be added to the service in the future based on the code in progress. However, such predicted features may not be publicly released.
We are considering the new 2024.42.0-687921584 release build of the Calendar app. Although we can’t see this in action yet, Google has started working to integrate many task features directly into apps. So far, Calendar recognizes tasks created by the Tasks app, but its support is somewhat limited, and if you want to do things like work on subtasks, Calendar will point you in the direction of the main app.
This existing option will appear on the left. However, once the changes Google has been working on here roll out, Calendar may allow you to interact with tasks on a deeper level, including editing subtasks, as you can see on the right. You’ll also see a new interface for managing the list in which your tasks can reside, consistent with what you’re used to in the Tasks app itself.
In fact, the more I think about it, with so many features added to Calendar, does the primary task app no longer make sense? It was already like a single note to begin with, but considering how you use it. It’s very practical to incorporate that task management into broader organizational apps (like Calendar, perhaps?). It feels like there’s still a lot of work to be done, especially in terms of fleshing out the tools for subtasks across the calendar, but these additions certainly have some momentum.
At this point, we can’t say for sure, and there’s little predictability as to when Google might make such a major change. Nor can we ignore the signs that suggest this is not happening. For example, we’ve recently been tracking a lot of active development work on Tasks, including new Gemini extensions. Why build them when you’re about to kill them? What about the app?
For now, it has to be said that this mystery remains unsolved, but we will continue to look at Google’s app updates to see if we can understand more about the company’s likely intentions.
