Following Calendar, Drive, and Keep, Google Tasks has received a solo M3 Expressive tweak on Android.
Opening a specific task reveals how the details page now makes use of containers. Specifically, the body with the title, details, date/time, and subtasks, as well as the list switcher, star, and overflow menu, are grouped together.
The status bar and bottom line with the “Mark completed” button, which is now placed in a pill, are outside with a lighter background color.
Old vs. new
There are no changes to the homepage right now. Google could place each task in a container, but the current layout where each list is one container thematically makes sense, especially when you swipe between them.
The update I want is a redesign of the Google Tasks homescreen widget, which skipped Material You.
In other developments, Google’s web app launcher now has a “Tasks” shortcut to tasks.google.com. It joins other recent additions like NotebookLM, Wallet, and YouTube Music.
