In April last year, Google announced that Keep reminders would be automatically saved to Tasks sometime in 2025, but did not share details on when the change would go live. Now, on its support page, the tech giant has confirmed that Keep reminders will integrate with Tasks in the coming months before the end of the year.
And while Google is yet to share the exact date, the company has shared some more details about its plan. According to the tech giant, the upcoming integration will make it easier for users to organise and manage all their to-dos in one place. Google says you can also ask Assistant or Gemini to set a reminder on your device or smart display, which will then be saved as a task in Google Tasks, with the app sending you a reminder when it’s time to complete the task.
If a reminder is based on a location, the location will automatically be added to the task’s details field, but you will no longer get a notification based on that location. In case you are assigned a reminder by someone else, the assigner’s name will be added to the task’s title, but they won’t have access to that reminder.
Also, if you leave a task incomplete, it will show up on your calendar for up to 365 days as a “Pending task” in the all-day section of the calendar. Google will also allow you to manage reminders that are converted to tasks using Assistant commands like “Hey Google, show me my tasks” or “Hey Google, show me my reminders.”
One thing to note here is that you don’t necessarily need the Tasks app installed to use reminders with Google Assistant. Apart from Google Tasks, you can also get task notifications from the Calendar and the Google app.
