Why trust Greenbot
Google has started rolling out a new version of Google Calendar for Android with a lot of improvements and enhancements. Firstly, the update brings the much requested 7-day week view and pinch-to-zoom to the app, which Google had removed in the process of giving it a major Material Design makeover last year.
Secondly, the update allows users to select whether birthdays of their Google+ friends are shown in the calendar or not. Another major enhancement is the ability to add Google Drive files to events, which can be viewed by other members of the event as well.
The full changelog of the update as provided by Google is below:
-
See more events at a glance with 7-day week view and pinch-to-zoom
-
Add Google Drive files to events. Drive will even check if everyone can open them.
-
Control whether birthdays from Google+ are shown in settings. You’ll also see the same changes on the web next week.
-
A new option to show week numbers in settings.
-
Import .ics files sent to you in Gmail and other apps
The update will be rolled out over the next few days on the Google Play Store, but you can always manually sideload the update by downloading the APK from here.
