If you think about it carefully “Killed by Google“Various contexts of services or applications, except that they are really put on hold Google In addition to Play services, it seems that they are quite accustomed to launching a replacement or a service with very similar functions in the early stage of cutting down the service – basically it is a service application that makes you think “Hey… so what’s the difference?” and makes you very hesitant to switch to it. And after a few years, these services are usually sent to the grave with various reasons (or no explanation at all). I believe these examples have long been common. However, being dismantled by the APK directly exploded, which is quite new. Read on for signs that Google Reminders will be completely replaced by Tasks.
Signs are that Google Reminders will be completely replaced by Tasks
When Google Tasks was first launched, you may have thought that since Google Calendar and Assistant already have Reminders functions across various platform services, you may even be able to use the Google Keep service in the future. Why do we need to solve another “mission”?
Now, with Google Assistant begins to castrate some “reminder” functionsAfter doing this, we also found more clues about where Google will go with its periodic and important reminder functions related to daily life through the APK disassembly of foreign media.
From the information obtained by previous foreign media dismantling the Google Calendar App, it has been roughly confirmed that Reminders, which has long been the main function of reminder services in the Google ecosystem, will gradually be replaced by Tasks, which are usually next to it. In this direction, Google has also gradually canceled the location-related To-Do function that Tasks does not support.
In the latest update, Google has further provided integration functions for the Google Calendar app, which has both “Reminder” and “Tasks” service functions. I also saw the words “Soon your reminders will be upgraded to tasks” in the code – yes, it is an upgrade.
That is to say, although users who may be used to Assistant Reminders may be reluctant to switch to Tasks or simply switch to other services until the day Google cruelly shuts down this service – just… fed up with being forced to change services? But if you are very willing to use Tasks as the main reminder service. This time the code also exploded. Google will directly provide a “Migration” integration button to transfer reminder items to the new Tasks service.
According to the official description, Tasks will give you greater flexibility and support advanced management functions such as lists. It’s just that the flexibility here does not include To-Do items related to geographical fence locations (ah, it’s not very flexible XD). Also, it’s a bit similar to Google’s mess with messaging. Foreign media 9to5Google also pointed out that Google Keep also integrated reminder functions, but it was confirmed that these items will not be integrated into Tasks.
Should I say… Isn’t it surprising?
