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.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

Image
Instagram only gives you one opportunity to link to outside resources inside its photo sharing platform.

How it works is fairly straightforward. After connecting Linktree to your Instagram profile, you’ll receive a single link to place in your Instagram bio.

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 — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
