The Workspace team is finally getting around to updating the Google Tasks widget on Android with Material 3 Expressive.
Update 6/4: Nearly a month after it started appearing, the Material 3 Expressive redesign of the Google Tasks widget is now widely rolling out. Make sure you’re on version 2026.05.25.x. of the app. If you don’t have the updated widget yet, be sure to Force stop Tasks from App info.
This joins the updated gradient icon, while the iOS application recently gained iOS 26 support. The primary change is the Liquid Glass keyboard, with the rest of the app still on the previous bottom app bar design compared to Android’s FAB (floating action button) approach.
Original 5/6: This tweak starts with the ‘plus’ button in the top-right corner getting placed in a pill-shaped container, like Gmail and Google Drive. The background of this button is themed and better stands out.
