Receive notifications for Tasks

You can receive task notifications in the Google Tasks app and Google Calendar app on your phone. If both of the apps are installed, only one app notifies you. For example, if you have the Calendar app and the Tasks app installed, only the Tasks app notifies you.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the settings app.
2. Tap Notifications.
3. In the app list, tap Tasks.
4. Turn on or off Allow notifications.

Tip: If you don't have the Tasks app, you can change task notifications for Calendar. Learn how to update your notifications for Calendar.

If you set up a Focus on your iPhone or iPad, you may not get notifications. To keep notifications for the Tasks app on, turn on Time Sensitive Notifications:

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the settings app.
2. Tap Focus.
3. At the top, tap the desired Focus.
4. Under "Allow Notifications," tap Apps Add apps Tasks Done.
5. Turn on Time Sensitive Notifications.
