Google has updated its Calendar app to make managing events much easier.
A variety of new features are now available with the new version, such as adding booked flights, purchased concert tickets, hotel reservations, email confirmations and other events, according to PC Magazine. This feature makes manually adding these events unnecessary.
Google Product Manager Ian Leader wrote in a blog post Monday that the new app is "designed to be a helpful assistant, so you can spend less time managing your day, and more time enjoying it."
The updated Calendar works with the Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and other Nexus devices, as well as gadgets running Android 4.1 or later or Android 5.0 Lollipop, TechCrunch reported. The update has yet to be released for the iPhone and other Apple devices.
Schedule View is another new feature providing users with maps of where they are going, along with photos, cityscapes, and illustrations of other places in the area. Google Calendar now also includes Assists, a feature that guesses details to add to events based on what the user has typed in their phone in the past.
The suggestions with Assists will include titles, people and places, PC Magazine reported. For example, if you go running with a friend in Central Park on occasion, the app will suggest that event, along with the place, time and person, when you start to type "r-u-n."
Google's update to the Calendar app follows a week after it released a new version of the Web-based version of Calendar.
