Google Calendar on mobile can create, view Tasks

Before this new update, it was only possible to view Google Tasks entries via a dedicated app on mobile. But Google has started to roll out an update where the information you put in Tasks will show up in the Google Calendar app on both Android and iOS devices. 

Like adding new calendar events, you can add tasks by tapping on the + sign to add new tasks. These will show up in the right sidebar or on the day they are scheduled. The rollout of the feature has started, and it will take a couple of weeks. So, be a bit patient if it hasn't made its way to you yet.

Google Tasks now has a toolbar shortcut in Gmail

Google Tasks made a comeback when Google relaunched the Material Theme redesign for Gmail in 2018. Now, it's getting more prominently featured in Gmail through a new "Add to tasks" toolbar shortcut. You can now link an email directly to an activity you need to get done. You can do so by dragging the message to the Gmail sidebar, or you can tap on the new Add to tasks icon between Snooze and Move to actions. 

If you're lost about what icon you need to select, it's the circular icon with a checkmark in it and a plus sign at the bottom right corner. You can see it in the image accompanying this story. Google is rolling out the feature now, but it may or may not be available to you yet. It has shown up for my personal Gmail account already. It seems to be rolling out to both personal and G Suite users.
