You can still use your voice to set reminders with Google Assistant. See reminders in Google Tasks: Better organize your to-dos using lists, sorting and more. Once you have that new version of Google Tasks, you may receive a notification saying the following:

#GOOGLE REMIND ME APP UPDATE#

The latest update I received this morning is 2023.50774.1. While this is yet another weird change by Google, I think it will ultimately be the right move without Google releasing an app called Google Reminders.Ī couple of Google Tasks updates rolled out this week that have now triggered the change.

Since that never really made much sense, Google has decided that Google Tasks is a better location for those reminders to live. Assistant would even contain a list of reminders you could manage as essentially the hub of your reminder life. So we’re on the same page, I’m talking about the reminders that are created from you shouting “Hey Google, remind me to buy beer at 4PM!” That’s a reminder that Google Assistant has handled forever.

That change is only now rolling out to everyone and you can go ahead and set it up immediately if you aren’t prompted to do so. They said that change would happen “soon,” so we figured within a few weeks or even a couple of months.

That seems less likely now, but the rearranged software does fit with Google’s overall state for trying to make voice AI more efficient.This is going to sound wild when I say it, but Google announced in September of last year that Google Assistant reminders would move over to Google Tasks as the default app for them going forward. At that point, Google seemed to be hinting that it could replace them with the rumored Memory, techology for powering Google Assistant to remember and organize its data. Google had hinted that changes were coming to the pipeline back in June when it began shutting down the option to set reminders for other people, and tie reminders to a location, both prerequisites foAssignable nables tool that let users set reminders for others based on where they are located. Moving reminders into Google Tasks is one step closer to helping people effortlessly get things done, and we are so excited to bring it to you. “We are continuing to invest in Google Tasks and expand its capabilities to help you capture, organize and accomplish all you have to get done. Just say, “Hey Google, remind me to call dad every Thursday at 6pm” to your mobile or smart display and it will show up in your Tasks list, as well as on Google Calendar,” Google vice president of product management Ilya Brown explained.

“Bringing Assistant Reminders capabilities to Google Tasks also opens up new and better ways to capture your to-dos using the hands-free power of Assistant. If the user specifies a time and date they want a reminder, all of those devices will send an alert.

Anything that users ask the voice assistant to remember and remind them about will be available in Google Tasks though on iOS and Android apps, in addition to Google Workspace platforms like Gmail and Drive. You can see an example in the image on the right. The change expands voice control of Tasks by letting Google Assistant users vocally add a task through their phones, as well as smart speakers and displays. Merging the Reminders from Assistant and Calendar onto Tasks should help streamline its function by compiling the access points from voice, web, and mobile apps to Tasks.

The move will also upgrade Reminders, which has sometimes struggled after its initial release in 2017. Google Assistant and Calendar are combining their Reminder feature and shifting it to the Google Tasks app.
