Tech-giant Google is merging the Calender and Assistant reminders in the Tasks app as it moves to enhance the app's functionality.

Google Tasks was launched as an app that would allow its users to make a to-do list in their Calender or account. It later made it a separate feature. However, with the new updates, Google is "simplifying our task management solutions by migrating Assistant and Calendar Reminders to Google Tasks".

After the update, users will see a notification prompting them to open Tasks to create or view reminders on Assistant or Calendar.

The change is a way to help people get their work done smoothly, the company maintained, adding that it will aims to continue making it better with new updates.
