Google Tasks gets a long-overdue upgrade with new deadline feature

Google Tasks has introduced the ability to assign deadline dates to tasks on the Android version of the app, allowing users to set a deadline when editing an existing task. The new "Add deadline" option is located above the standard date/time slot within the task details screen, but deadlines cannot be set during task creation and do not appear on the main task list. The update does not allow users to set specific times or receive reminders associated with deadlines, and Google Tasks remains basic compared to competitors like Todoist or Due, lacking features such as precise scheduling, priority settings, and subtasks.

Pixel phones and some Android models get a cool AI list creation tool in the Google Keep app

In March, Google introduced the Google Keep Magic List feature, designed to enhance user experience through artificial intelligence. This feature is currently available to select Android users, especially those with Pixel devices, while non-Pixel users can access it if they have a Google One AI Premium membership or are part of Google Workspace Labs. The Magic List simplifies list-making by allowing users to create lists with checkboxes for tracking completed tasks. Users can initiate the list creation by tapping the "+" button in the Google Keep app, selecting "List," and entering their request. The generated list can be finalized and used for various purposes, such as shopping or event planning. Users can refresh the list if it doesn't meet their expectations and provide feedback to Google for improvement.
