Google Calendar is one of the best calendar applications that we can use to organize our day to day. On many devices it is set by default. If this is not the case, we can always download it in the Google application store for free. Google Calendar allows us to make many options. Next, we'll tell you five simple tricks to get the most out of the application.
1 -Customize notifications
When we schedule an event or an appointment in Google Calendar and we choose to notify us with a notification, normally, the notification jumps from the system. That is, from the app itself. But there is an option that allows us to customize these notifications so that we can receive them through our email. All we have to do is select a Google account, create an event and go to the ”˜”™Add another notification”™”™ option. There, we will have to go to the option that says ”˜”™Customize”™”™. Inside, we can choose if we want to receive a notification, or an email with the appointment.
2 – Delete an event by swiping it
Yes, we can delete an event from our calendar just by swiping it. It's very simple, we just have to go to the agenda mode and search for the event you want to delete. Once found, swipe from left to right and the event will be deletedBefore, you will get a reminder. Once deleted, you will not be able to recover it, unless you create another new event.
3 – Put Google Calendar on your home screen
Some time ago, Google implemented an Agenda Widget for our desktop. Later, the long-awaited Calendar Widget arrived, which allows us to have a calendar with a preview of all the events in a simple way All we have to do is access the section Widgets from home, and look for the two calendar Widgets. Remember that if you want to edit an event, the application will open.
4 – Change the time zone of our calendar
By default, Google configures its calendar with the time zone that we have configured on our device, and it stays that way unless we deactivate this option and add a time zone automatically.We will have to go to Settings, general and deactivate the option of ”˜”™Use device time zone”™”™. Once deactivated, we can choose a time zone by entering the country or city When we exit the settings, the Google calendar will ask us if we want to reschedule all events according to the new time.
5 – Add files from Google Drive
In events we can add different documents, as long as we have them uploaded to Google Drive. We can do it by creating one, just below. A very useful option if we have a guide for a meeting etc.
These are some of the tricks we can do in Google Calendar, without a doubt, we know that the firm will update it with new functions and extras that will improve the user experience much more.
