Gmail app gets Google Task integration [APK Download]


Google completely abandoned its standalone Tasks service for a long time and built reminder functionality into Inbox (RIP), Keep, and the Assistant instead. Last year, however, a Google Tasks redesign surfaced out of nowhere, complete with Gmail integration on the web. Now, the latest Gmail app update brings this functionality to Android.
To add an email to Google Tasks, you simply open its overflow menu (the three-dot menu) and click "Add to Tasks." A toast message at the bottom of the screen will tell you that you've successfully created said task, and you can even jump right into the Tasks app by pressing "View." If you don't have it installed, clicking on "Add to Tasks" takes you to the app's Play Store listing instead.
  
Left: "Add to Tasks" at the bottom of the overflow menu is new. Middle: A toast acknowledges the new task. Right: Clicking on "View" leads you into the Tasks app.
While I welcome the ability to assign tasks to emails after this feature disappeared along with Inbox, I'm missing the latter's simplicity. You could add notes and view to-dos right inside your inbox there, while you need to jump back and forth between Gmail and Tasks to get the same functionality – though I like the fact that you can annotate items there in far more detail than you used to be able to in Inbox.
If you'd like to try the new option for yourself, you need to be on the latest Gmail release (and you might need to wait a bit until the feature rolls out to you from Google's servers). You can find it on the Play Store through the widget below or sideload it over at APK Mirror.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
