A few weeks ago, Google announced that it would be moving the reminders feature from Google Keep to the Google Tasks app. The integration is currently rolling out and will gradually reach all Android phone and tablet users. When the update hits your device, you'll know it very easily - after opening the app, you'll see a notification on your screen that your reminders are now saved in Google Tasks.
But it's not just this small and inconspicuous change. Due to the transfer of the function to Google Tasks The interface of the application itself is also changing. It was not designed for comments. The previous items "Home", "Work" and "Select a location" are disappearing. Location information is now listed directly in the task description. You can still write reminders in Google Keep, but they will then appear in Google Tasks and also in Google CalendarsYou will see a label with the word "from Keep", and when you tap it, the original note opens.
At first glance, it seems like Google is just unnecessarily complicating things. And many people won't understand why this move is happening. Although new reminders are still being sent to Tasks, Google Keep still keeps the "Reminders" pageSo the function is basically doublesAnd deleting will be more complicated - if you delete something in Google Keep, the app will ask if you want to delete the reminder in Tasks as well, or just the note in Keep.

Task reminders will still work so you don't miss anything. But now there will be no walkthroughs directly from Google Keep, but Google Tasks or Calendar will notify you. However, you can set the date and time of the reminder set in all three applicationsIn any of them, you can subsequently mark the task as completed.
And there's one more annoying thing - if a reminder in Google Keep is too long, after moving to Tasks, its name will be shortened. So it may not contain all the important information.mace. And reminders that are not repeated and are older than a year will be moved to the list "Old Google Keep Reminders". Google doesn't give users a choice, and you have to accept that this complicated change is happening. Why? Because Google decided to do it.
