Google Calendar on Android and iOS gets Reminders, which work across Inbox, Keep, and Google Now - Google today updated
its Google Calendar apps on Android and iOS with a new type of
functionality: Reminders. As its name implies, the feature helps you add
and keep track of important things you want to remember. You can
download the latest version now from Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
Reminders, which are rolling out this week, are supposed to work
alongside scheduled Google Calendar events, the company explained. Not
only can you add them in Google Calendar, but they also work across
other Google services: Inbox by Gmail, Google Keep, and Google Now. That
means you can create a Reminder when you’re checking your email or just
say “Ok Google, remind me to buy birthday candles,” and it will show up
in Google Calendar.
Google acknowledged that many Google Calendar users already use
events for this type of functionality, or they have a to-do list that is
separate from their Google Calendar. The company explained that unlike
Events, which come and go, Reminders remain in your calendar until they
are actually done.
If a Reminder isn’t completed, it will appear at the top of your
Google Calendar. When you finally do finish the task, you can just swipe
the Reminder away. If you want to prevent this nagging, you can also
move the Reminder to a later time, just like moving events when plans
change.
Reminders also add information like phone numbers and addresses
automatically. Like Inbox, Calendar uses information from your contacts
as well as Google’s knowledge graph to include extra details so you
don’t have to go digging when you need it.
Google said it is working on bringing Reminders to Google Calendar on
the Web next. The company didn’t share timing around when that might
be, but safe to say it will likely happen next year. Source: Venturebeat
