The stress of creating a task using Google Calendar is happily coming to its final days. Lots of users of this app around the world will find this report quite exciting, as they might have dabbled with creating a task for their usage. According to some developer findings, Google is making it simpler to create a task as opposed to creating an event.
Assemble Debug took to his X page to share his most recent findings on the Google Calendar app. If you’re wondering, Assemble Debug is a developer that breaks down Google apps to reveal new features that the team is working to roll out for public usage. In one of his most recent discoveries on the Calendar app, he learns that Google is adding chips to enable users to switch between creating tasks and events.
His discovery was then made public by the folks at 9to5Google, who also proceeded to check out these chips. The folks proceeded to enable the feature themselves and try out the new chips. Once this feature is ready to roll out, it’ll enable users to switch between a task or an event on the creation page.
Currently, to create a task or an event, users need to pick which option they want from the ‘Plus’ button on the Google Calendar app. But it’s easy for a user to pick the ‘Event’ button when they want to create an event when they need to create a task. To change over to create a task instead, users will need to cancel the progress they’ve made and then move over to create a task.
But with this coming update, Google will provide two chips (Event and Task) in the creation interface. So in case users start creating an event instead of a task, they can quickly switch over to a task by clicking on the task chip. These chips will sit below the “Add title” section, and switching between an event or a task won’t cancel the user’s creation progress.
For now, users of the Google Calendar will need to cancel all their progress to switch between creating an event and a task. But knowing that switching between creating a task or an event is getting some simplifications is comforting. This improvement will become available to users via an OTA update to the Google Calendar app.
