The Google Tasks app has received a major update and a new design, and the update is now rolling out to users and will be available on Android phones soon.
First rolled out in June, the update offers a cleaner user experience by replacing the current list format for each task with cards. The bottom bar has been removed, with a floating action button instead. Additionally, a three-dot overflow menu is now accessible from each card. The menu can be found next to the app's sorting options.
As Android Police points out, the cards are slightly darker than the app background, which makes them especially noticeable in Dark Mode: If you're in a hurry to update, you can sideload the latest Tasks version via APKMirror.
The new Google Tasks app for Android has a much cleaner look, and we hope that this update will be available to all users soon. The update appears to be implemented on the server side, so there is no need to update the app from Google Play. To speed up the update process, you can also force quit and reopen the app. However, we did not have any luck when we tried this method.
Like other apps from companies like Apple, Google Tasks simplifies the process of creating tasks, adding details, setting due dates, and organizing them into lists, and it can sync this information across all your devices, including mobile and desktop.
Google Tasks also integrates seamlessly with other Google apps like Gmail and Calendar, giving you a comprehensive view of your day and week.
