Tasker

Tasker is one of the most powerful apps around, letting users automate everything from connectivity to text messages. It doesn't have the easiest learning curve though, so we're glad to see the developer bring a solution.

The Tasker 5.5 update is rolling out via the Google Play Store now reports, and the changelog notes the addition of TaskerNet. The developer says this is a place to share and import pre-made projects.

To take advantage of TaskerNet, you'll need to open a project on the platform, click import, enable the required permissions, and that's it. The developer cautions that this is a staged rollout but, if all goes to plan, it should come to everyone in "the next few days."

TaskerNet should therefore make for a much easier solution than following a list of instructions, solving what might be the biggest challenge for Tasker newbies (the user-interface).

Would this make you use Tasker or have you been using it anyway? Either way, you can download the latest update via the Play Store button below.

Tasker has been around since 2013 and we have witnessed dozens of updates and improvements. The last one we featured was the 5.2 version as Joao attempted to fill in some very big shoes. It also started working with Amazon Echo via the AutoVoice plugin for smart home features. The new Tasker version, Tasker 5.5 delivers automation for everyone so it should be exciting, at least, for those really using the app. If you want to run a task on your device, you may look into the Tasker to automate those important and regular things you do.

Some other tasks you can do on Tasker include set screen brightness lower, turn down the media volume when Do Not Disturb is enabled, enable dark theme when night light is enabled, update widgets on the home screen with setting values, or even combine with other conditions. New actions are ready for Google Drive Upload, Display Size, NCF, Ask Permissions, Ping, Data Backup, Status Bar Icons, and Force Rotation.
