Google Assistant and Calendar Reminders Will Automatically Migrate to Tasks

Bradley Rhodes -

Google is introducing an automatic migration that will transfer reminders from Google Assistant and Google Calendar to Google Tasks. In the coming weeks, users will no longer have to manually transfer their reminders as Google will initiate the process automatically.

The announcement regarding this migration was initially made in February, with a vague timeline of the second quarter of 2023. However, Google has now specified that the migration will be completed by the end of June.

To facilitate a smooth transition, Google has provided users with the option to initiate the migration manually. If users do not take action soon, the migration will occur automatically by the end of the month, as stated by the company.

For corporate and educational customers using Google Workspace, the automatic migration of reminders has already commenced. These users do not have the option to perform the migration themselves.
