If you have an Android phone and use Google Assistant to schedule reminders, you can do it now start the migration to Google Tasksthe internet giant’s to-do app and, with one exception, the ultimate goal of all reminders, so it’s not really a matter of choosing one or the other, but getting ahead of the change a bit.

You already know what the exception is, because we reiterated the news this week: Google Keep is disconnected from Calendar, and the reminders you create in the Notes app will stay there. More info on this Google Calendar help page.

Reminders are basically just that, reminders that you can schedule via text or voice by assigning them a title or subject, a date, and additionally a repeat type. When a reminder is met, Google’s productivity apps, including Google Calendar or Google’s own Assistant, on both PC and mobile, will display a corresponding notification.

You can view the reminders you’ve created through Google Assistant or with more simplicity and options in Google Calendar. You’ve got Calendar events, Tasks tasks, and Google Now reminders (and, until recently, Google Keep’s own reminders — if they keep popping up, it’s because it’s not time yet, but it won’t be for long). ).

In other words, Google Tasks will only take care of reminders from Google Assistant, which Google’s productivity apps will actually take care of. If it’s not your time yet, wait a moment… or activate the migration process yourself. You can do this through the Google Assistant on Android or on this page (you must be logged in to Google):

• Show reminders in Google Tasks

You click “start configuration” and that’s it: your reminders are now tasks and you’ll find them in the default list. That is all.

By the way, as we explained in another recent how-to article, you can now use Google Tasks from your web browser as a standalone app. In case you want to do it this way instead of being limited to the sidebar of Gmail, Calendar, etc.
