📝 Heads up, Google Keep users! Your reminders are moving out and getting a new home in Google Tasks. Don’t panic, we’ll explain what’s happening and why.
🔄 What’s happening? Google’s been shuffling things around, and now they’re moving all reminders from Google Keep into Google Tasks. This change was announced last year, and it’s starting to roll out now, so you’ll see it happening over the next few weeks.
🤔 Why the change? Google wants to make your life simpler by having one central hub for all your reminders. So, instead of keeping them in Google Keep, they’ll now be in Google Tasks, which syncs with Gemini, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs.
😮 But wait, what about me, a Google Keep power user? Yeah, we feel you. This change might be a bit confusing at first. You’ll still create reminders in Google Keep by tapping the bell icon, and they’ll still show up on your notes. But now, Google Tasks will handle all the notifications.
📍 Location reminders are going away Sadly, you won’t be able to set location-based reminders in Google Keep anymore. Google Tasks doesn’t have this feature either. So, no more reminders to pick up milk when you’re near the grocery store.
🗑️ Deleting reminders If you delete a task in Google Calendar or Google Tasks, the reminder will disappear from Google Keep, but the note it was attached to will stay. You can delete the note, the reminder, or both from Google Keep.
🤯 It’s a bit confusing, right? We know, it’s not the simplest change. But don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it. All your existing reminders will be moved to Google Tasks over the next few weeks.
🌟 Google Tasks: The new reminder hub Google Tasks has been around since 2018 and is well-integrated with other Google apps. Now, it’s also the home for your Google Keep reminders.
