At Google they know that the future of Internet searchesgoes through get ahead of the user's needs. That is why they continue to develop their assistant Google Now to offer all the necessary and interesting information even before the user searches for it, all based on theirprevious searches, interests, appointments and other content to which the company has access.Issues that are detailed with each update and outlined to offer, incidentally, other useful features such as their countdowns
And the fact is that Google Now has all kinds of extra details designed for the user's comfort. Characteristics that can go from a card that registers the last position or parking of the vehicle, to a useful countdown to mark the time that remains until a certain important event occurs A piece of information that can help the user to calculate the remaining time and manage it more easily before the appointed day arrives. But how to activate this countdown?
This feature seems to be related to the important events that are recorded in the Google calendar or that are planned through the messaging service of GmailOf course, as long as they are marked as reminders and not simple appointments. And it is that Google scans these tools in search of events and appointments planned or noted to remember them in the form of a card through Google Now. Of course, although it is able to find all kinds of appointments and tasks, only the important have the aforementionedcountdown Events that usually have to do with holidays and days of celebration Precisely those events that are usually wait with more anxiety and those who like to know how close they are.
Therefore, in their respective cards, it is possible to find out in red numbers and characters the days remaining for said celebration A matter that can apply, for example, to the Christmas meal if previously noted as reminderIn this way, next to the name of the appointment, at the bottom of the card, it is announced that, as of today, there is still a certain number of days until such event arrivesA subtle and direct indicator, but practical for those who like to have everything under control.
At the moment it seems that this feature only affects events related to celebrations or issues such as vacations And it is that not all credit cards events have a countdown, such as birthdays. In addition, they must be part of the reminders category since, otherwise, they would not have this indicator or a card itself. And it is that normal events only appear on the Google Now screen on the day they are set.
In short, a small detail for an assistant that not only continues to grow and become a useful and practical tool, but also surprises with the small details it has for the most demanding users.This new feature has been in the app for a while now and doesn't come via update, so it's possible to start using it at any time through reminders
