iPhone and iPad users who keep up to date with all their appointments through the Google Calendar application are here for the first time. And it is that the search engine company has decided to update the application with an important novelty: your widget for today Thus, even if you do not use an Apple Watch where you can see the alerts of your next appointments or events, you will have all the information always at hand, on one of the desktop screens of the iPhone.
Google Calendar Widget
The update, which raises the version number of this application to 2.4.0, includes a single new feature. This is the widget or shortcut. An information window that, for those who don't know it, shows the current day's appointments. In other words, a kind of window-reminder where you can pay attention to everything that has been written down in the agenda for the day.
Well, now the Google Calendar appointments are seen in this space that Apple had already defined for other tools. Just jump to the widgets for today and see until two upcoming events on the calendar If we have more events scheduled for the day, a shaded message that It reads See more, allows you to display the view. Thus, if you are used to reviewing your upcoming tasks in the widget window of the iPhone, now you will have the information from Google Calendar.Of course, only the events of the same day.
How to activate the function
The process is completely automatic All you have to do is keep recording your appointments, tasks and events regularly in Calendar of Google. Of course, updating the app is mandatory for your iPhone to pick up the widget and display it alongside the rest. With this, all you have to do is jump to this section of your iPhone where you can find out the next two appointments, being able to see the name, time and place at all times.
Another interesting point about the update is that the widget supports 3D Touch That is, if we have the latest iPhone, where it is included screen pressure technology, we can get more out of this widget. A harder press allows more details about the appointment to be displayed on the screen.All this without jumping to the Google Calendar application, and without leaving the widget with today's information.
