#Apple #AppleReminders #iOS14 #iPad
When you have an email open in the Apple Mail app you can just say “Hey Siri, remind me about this” and it will be automatically saved to your default list in the Apple Reminders app.
Ah, I missed that one, Patrick.
I do believe, that it works similarly in Safari as well :)
@@JP_Bassman And in messages also
I can’t get the way Carl did with a mail icon over there which takes you straight to the inbox
now we just need the Reminders to be linked to the Calendar!
Hmmm I doubt Apple will ever do that. If you really want it (and trust me you will hate it when you do it) you can do in an app like Fantastical. The trouble is, it makes you calendar an overwhelming mess. You will soon turn it off.
make a shorcut
Dear Carl, love your tutorials, one thing is good to say about adding an email to reminders - you can say "Hey Siri, remind me about this emai (or whatever you say)", and the reminder will be created with the link to email
Oops, I forgot that one!! Apologies and thank you for reminding me.
Apple Reminders in iOS 14 is fantastic! It’s really a step up from the previous version. Love the ability to assign tasks to people on shared lists.
Have to agree with you there, Andrea.
Hey! I’m late to realizing how the amazing updates made to reminders and this video was definitely helpful, thank you for this! I have one question though... I am following the instructions but the option to assign a task to a person is missing. Was this removed with the most recent update?
Thank you for this video! I would like to know how to export a reminder list to my computer as a document or as an excel. Or how could I download a chosen list? I would be thankful for some advice. I am not finding anything about this topic. Thanks!!!
Hi Katarina, as far as I know, there is no way to export a Reminder list in any format (including simple text) I suspect that’s because Apple see Reminders as a task list and there would be no need to export a todo list anywhere else because that would be duplication.
This is a very helpful video Carl! It was this video that inspired me to try out Apple Reminders, which is what I've been experimenting with for the last 4 weeks.
I want to add a slight addendum for those who are looking to use Reminders. Overall, it is a good to do list, especially if you don't want to spend money on a to do list and like everything to live in the Apple ecosystem. But where it gets annoying is in the Today view.
You cannot sort tasks out in the today view!
Apple have a default sorting for your Today view. So even if you have priorities set up, it will not be sorted by priority in the Today view. And nor will you be given the option to sort it out by priority. I assume that for you all, like me, your day starts with the Today view and is your ground zero. So in what is arguably the most important place in a to do list, why have Apple not given us the flexibility to sort our tasks out here?
The workaround is that you use the flag - just like Carl does here in the video. But when you're using only either a flag or no flag as the only priority distinctions, the priorities of the tasks that have no flags are diluted. That's where your P1s, P2s, P3s, P4s come in handy in Todoist.
If that's something you can live with, then Apple Reminders is a great task manager. But if you need more order in your ground zero view, then you may want to look elsewhere.
Anyway, hope this comment helps people :)
Hi Parin, Apple built Reminders for everybody else, not power-users who want more functionality. My wife, for example, doesn't care she cannot re-order her today view. All she cares about is she has a list of tasks to complete today. Not being able to re-order my today view would annoy me and for that my wife laughs at me and tells me I am so stupid. LOL (always nice to get a non-power users' perspective)
Another query for ya.
I’m guessing w/in settings and more specific “iCloud” settings, I should turn this on for Reminders App; as currently it’s off, and that’s mainly b/c never used reminders app before, but wanna start. So, guessing if iCloud is on for Reminders App, will keep a backup and sync across all my iOS/iPadOS devices??
Thx✌🏻
I love Apple
Me too.
Thx so much for this. I’m using Big Sur beta and it’s pretty much identical. I have been using alternative email and todo apps. Now that Apple has caught up and exceeded in some areas with mail and reminders I’m back to those. If not for your video I may not have discovered for awhile. Thank you so much!
Glad you have found these videos helpful, Chris
Very good ,I am really learning...watched again and again..congratulations for great product .Thank you
8:30 and more….
If I’m using say Outlook App for email, or Gmail; do I get this ability, or MUST I use the baked in system Mail App on my iPad or iPhone?
Thx for the vid, Rey HELPFUL and Useful for me👍🏻
Cheers✌🏻
I don't have Gmail or Outlook on my phone to test it, I'm afraid.
I switched to Spark for my email app because it has the ability to create links to your email or to share them directly in reminders. I can’t find any other app that can do that on mobile platforms.
WOW! Never thought of having one main Inbox and then moving around reminders. Gonna try this. I just wish there was a way to sync calender events and reminders
Ah, that's not likely to happen because you end up duplicating. If you want your to-dos on your calendar you can put them in as all-day events and delete then as you do them.
Is it possible to run the ipad ios reminders and calendar on a Mac M1?
Hey! I’m late to realizing how amazing the updates made to reminders are and this video was definitely helpful, thank you for this! I have one question though... I am following the instructions but the option to assign a task to a person is missing. Was this removed with the most recent update?
Not that I am aware of. If you click on the information button "assign" should be half-way down the list.
Excellent review of IOS 14. Thanks for your efforts to make life easier for us!
Glad it was helpful, Terry.
Great video thanks. Having an issue with copy and paste from iPhone to iPad , it used to work before then stoped suddenly. Any idea , my handoff is set on both devices . It’s a shame as it is such a great feature ,make my business more productive and life easy ..any tips welcome thanks again
Awesome, thanks for the tips. This app is still one of my daily drivers. I’ve noticed the updates to notes and files on both iPad and iOS, in regards to folders, I look forward to learning how to master the whole system.
Will be doing more videos on this soon, Rebecca.
Now thinking that Reminders could be a good app to use for my routines, the ones that are clogging up my Todoist.
I've been using reminder for more personal stuff like, Buy some milk, get car wash, lunch with Sally, yada yada.
@@malcolmstephenson556 I don't have an iPhone, so can't really see myself using it for that, at the moment... I am thinking of potentially getting for my next mobile device though.
It's a great app for shopping lists. I share our shopping list with my wife so if either of us are at the supermarket, the list is up-to-date and accurate... If I remember to add stuff to it LOL
Hmmm beware the dangers of too many apps.
@@Carl_Pullein my productivity suite is starting to settle quite nicely :-)
Hi Carl- question for you- have you used the sub-task feature at all? I don’t think I’ve seen you cover it in your videos. My thinking here is that you could combine let’s say 3 daily tasks into a single task with sub tasks for the individual items to be accomplished. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for these videos by the way. Reminders is almost on par with Microsoft To Do. (I use To Do quite a bit as it’s part of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem)
is it possible to share a list with another person ( using apple ) so they can add to the list, I had this before, but I can't find this in the updated version.
Sure. All you need do is tap the three little buttons on the top and then "share list" - then just select who you want to share the list with.
Your last comment regarding is the reason why I only use their native applications.
The link between Notes and Reminders makes the app Agenda pretty useless by the way.
The app which works very well with reminders is Copied... especially with UA-cam video.
Share to Copied.
Share to Reminders
Copied is like an app in between which I like to use and keep videos I plan to watch later on...
I really wish Apple made this 2 years earlier. Waited so long for Apple to make this app more usable, now I use Things and have never looked back.
There you go. Glad you found a good alternative, though.
I've been struggling with the strange behavior of subtasks in reminders showing in the Today view. There's no way to view the subtasks in the Mac version. In the iOS versions you can dig down to find them, but your out of luck on the Mac side.
Great vid.
For some time I’ve been assigning a date to virtually all reminders. Your system of sending many of these to Next Week, Next Month, etc, seems to have much less friction than my system. How do you determine if an item should be assigned to an upcoming list or set with a date?
I date all tasks in this week as a guidepost and to prevent overloading my days. I rarely add a date to any other folder because I am not sure at this stage when I will be able to do them. However, if I an certain a task has to be done on a given date I will add a date.
Thanks for this! It's very helpful. I actually had no idea that iOS 14 contained updates to the Reminders app--and I read a couple of articles about the upgrade!
Glad I could help, Catherine.
In a comment I left on a previous video I asked how to integrate Mail into Reminders. You showed that here, so please disregard that question. Thanks for showing this here, this is a game-changer for me. I tried to do this same thing, highlighting text in an email, and share it to Calendar, and unfortunately I didn't see this.
No problem, Tom.
Great video! Thanks for the tips & tricks. I have a question; How can I set a remider when I leave some place? (Just like a lost phone call)
When you go into the information button you will see an option to "remind me at location" click that and you can add an address.
Thanks Carl I found the information on how to add an emails and notes to reminders. I’d still like to see reminders appearing in Calendar is there any suggestion that this might arrive
I doubt it as Apple would see that as a duplication. You can do it with third part apps such as Fantastical.
Very helpful tutorial. I can replicate your actions on my iPad but when I try to follow a link in Reminders back to Notes on my iPhone it does not open the target note. It launches Notes and stops on the “Folders” screen. Also, how do you create the note link when using only an iPhone, without the multi-window features of iPadOS?
I think what you have discovered is a bug in the Reminders app. I've heard a lot of people find the same issue.
To create a link, just share the note with yourself and copy the note link.
I understand and used your method but where was the mistake when doing this: I noticed I'm delegating very much, although I was getting many things done, to my future self in "next week". When next week became first week of the month (september) and I switched THIS MONTH with NEXT MONTH and named them 09/2020 and 10/2020. I found myself pushing tasks back and forth within this week, next week and this month and next month.
It's okay to reschedule tasks. That's normal as our priorities will shift as the week goes on. But, if you are rescheduling the same tasks over and over, you need to stop and ask why? Are you ever going to do the task? If not then delete it.
Is there a dark mode for reminders in ios?
Yes, absolutely.
How do you get the calendar app to have all black txt? Mine always shows the day in red!?! I Like the all black look
Now that is a question I have never been able to figure out. On my iPad it's black. On my iPhone it's red and black.
that bar that pops up-where you can drag and drop to calendar, location, flag-does not show up on my iPad. When I click on an item, the keyboard pops up. Are you using an external keyboard with the iPad?
I am. Perhaps that's why.
Hi Carl, i’m sure you know but you didn’t show that an email can be dragged directly into the reminders from split screen exactly like you showed with the notes app
I was going to show that with iOS mail when I get to doing that video. Thanks for the heads up though.
Mine hasn’t updated and I updated my phone what do i do?
Hi Lucie, if you’re running iOS 14 on your phone then Reminders will be updated. There is no way Reminders could be running as an older version.
Is there a way to tag or share a task with outside people? Still stuck between systems. Using Todoist, ClickUp and now thinking of reminders...am I mad??
You can now share with other people, but they do need to be using an Apple device of some sort.
It is possible to share with people outside the Apple eco-system, they would only be able to access the tasks via iCloud.com and that's not a very pleasant experience.
How did you start presentation with ‘Inbox’ on top.
All you need do is tap “edit” and you can drag your projects around where you like.
ok thanks
great vide, is there any way to add the reminders into the calendar?
You can also do that with Fantastical too.
Carl, I wasn't aware of the copy any text to link an app to Reminders - BRILLIANT! Thanks for the schooling :=)
Always happy to help, Malcolm.
That is a very educative video
You're very welcome.
My reminders doesn't sync across my devices however notes does, can someone help me fix this?
On the device that's not syncing, log out of iCloud, turn off the device and then restart it, re-log in to iCloud and that should fix it for you. Sometimes there a glitch in the syncing, logging out and re-logging usually fixes the issue.
@@Carl_Pullein I tried it but reminders still doesnt sync :(
So here is what is happening, the iPad gets the new reminders and such, but it doesnt share data, but i just realized sometimes it does
@@petrichor4441 You may have to check that your Reminders is set to sync. If that doesn't work, then do the log out, shut down and log in again. Failing that you may need to go to an Apple Store and ask them.
Great video!!! Is there also a way to have a reminder in the apple calendar?
Not that I know of, sadly.
Carl Pullein there’s a workaround for that. Create a TODO or TASK calendar with distinctive color and drag/drop tasks into that calendar during the week review/preview when you are scheduling items into your calendar. Works well but just then need to Mark items off in tasks when completed.
Costas Papadopoulos Cool, thanks. Going to try that!!!
How can I create a reminder with a telephone number in it so that I can directly dial out from the reminder app?
Just add the telephone number to the task. On any iOS device it will automatically be a clickable link.
Carl Pullein thank you so much for your response but sorry it didn’t work ... maybe you will create a short video to all your followers to show this step in detail? At the end it would be so practical if 🍏 would integrate this into contacts + the share possibility sometimes they are so far behind everything ... but I still love it.
Hello! Which screen recorder do you use that shows where are you clicking?👍🏻
That’s the IPad cursor (only appears when you have a mouse or trackpad connected)
Thank you, Lachlan. That is correct.
For some reason, the trick with the email is not working at my end. Reminders is always taking me back to the wrong email.
Interesting. Have you tried quitting both Reminders and Email and then shutting down your iPad / iPhone? When you restart it it should clear up the problem.
I restarted my iPad and for the moment it seems to be working. However, I’ve found the link between mail and reminders relatively unreliable in the past.
Ever since I updated to ios 14 on my 11pro it’s been buggy. When I complete a reminder and delete it....it still notifies me like I never deleted it. I go into reminders to see if the reminder is still there and it’s not. If I check in completed reminders there it is. This has happened several times with different reminders notifying me after I’ve deleted them. How can this be?
Hmm not sure, Laura. What usually works is to quit Reminders, turn off your phone and restart it. That usually clears any bugs.
Great video, Carl loves his Reminders app
It’s one of his favourite apps actually
Yes. I do like it. I think it is a solid app.
No calendar options on the phones like the iPads.
I didn't know that. I only use my phone as a quick reference view. I rarely if ever add an event from there.
if you mean the bar that has the calendar, location, flag and camera, it shows up on my iPhone x when I tap on a reminder. Does not show up on my iPad though.
Amazing how these bits are such a big deal in ios when they were doable as far back as Windows vista!
I did not know Microsoft did a Windows Vista mobile phone / tablet.
Wish my reminders would show on my calendar without a 3rd party app. Apple wake up!
Unlikely to come, I'm afraid. Apple would see that as pure duplication.
This is so confusing that I forgot my name watching it🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Am I the only one that wants to get notifications when some completes/adds/edits a task in a shared list???? Man, such an important and basic feature and no one seems to be needing it... The app is basically useless without notifications. With proper notifications, reminders would be insane and would probably replace any to-do-list app in the app store. Shame.
Imagine Tim without the hair
Indeed.
This guy is in really good shape damn! 💪... tx for this review by the way 👌😂
Mmmm
Nice tip on the share email to reminders
You're welcome, Andy. Thank you.
Are you using reminders and todoist in combination?
I only use Reminders as a shopping list. Todoist is my main to-do list manager. I do these videos for those people who don't want to use third party apps.
Todoist or Microsoft To-Do much better.
It all depends what you want to from a task manager really.
@@Carl_Pullein Definitely true, but feature-wise...
Apple reminders and calender are really lacking. I really want something accessible and easy to use. Apple is just too tedious.
There you, it's not for everyone.
dude you’re too old to wear such tight shirts.
Hahahaha thank you so much! I got fat. Sorry.
Stop waving your hands it’s very annoying had to stop watching the video
Seriously? I mean please. That’s my style. It’s who I am and you’re welcome to not watch anytime. LOL
On the MAC just use Microsoft To Do and alleviate the pain of dealing with an incredibly neglected and overall incompetent offering from Apple - Geez as if the bloody company is a start up with just a few staff. Seriously, Apple are focussed on stuffing up the user experience with anything regarding personal organisation. Calendar, Mail and Reminders are all sub-par! Apple should have purchased Trello and or Slack but noo, let's instead blow billions on some crappy, cheesy movie with little ROI. Apple is currently full of overpaid a$$ holes with little care for the end user's ability to organise their life and business.
That's certainly one way to look at it, George.
@@Carl_Pullein I'm very opinionated but I have been using everything Apple since 1994 I wish Apple focussed a lot more on user productivity. Many of the upgrades you are talking about should have been implemented a decade ago (not too much of a stretch for Apple's abilities)
