How to Use Reminders App on iPhone

  • Apple has a Reminders app on the iPhone that almost no one uses. But it’s actually pretty useful if used correctly.
    One of the most useful things about this reminders app over other reminder and to-do list apps is the ability to use Siri to create reminders.
    To keep things organized, it’s best to start with lists.
    Once you create a few lists, you can jump in each list and add a reminder.
    Then, you can add a widget to make it appear on the very front page of your phone. The reminders widget could be set to only show you today’s events.
    And that's how to use the reminders app on iPhone.

      I totally agree. I was looking for one and figure it out there just isn’t one. It was a disappointment. How’s it supposed to remind you when you don’t even get a alert notification from it making some kind of noise to let you know.

    This is really useful because I have anxiety which causes me to procrastinate and forget to do things, and I mostly need reminders. And my grades aren’t the best (I have 2 F’s, a C-, an A-, and my math grade isn’t graded but it will be pretty bad because I failed a pretty important test. I just started quarter 2) Thanks for this! It really helps!

    Let me put this another way. You explainedthe app as it is well. BUT, why cant there be a SIMPLE UNAMBIGUOUS LOW FRICTION WAY for this app to do the following: Siri, I have an appt to see my Doctor October 3rd 2023 at 9 am.
    THEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS AUTOMATIC FROM HOW YOU WANT to be reminded BEFOREHAND according to my preferences such as “Two days before, one day before and 2 hours before said appt?????” I would also like a notification badge to appear on my phone that I would have to deliberately delete otherwise it would remain there until appt time over?
    I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND?

    Some days I order the Lyft at 530 sometimes I order it as late as 554. I just want to set a reminder to keep me consistent and on track in the morning.

    I really like Apple reminders and use it all the time but I’ve noticed that when you start to really use Apple reminders with all the functions that they allow like Geo tagging uploading pictures and documents and reminders for time-based locations that the watch only has so much storage and you can really clog it up and I’ve had to stop using Apple reminders and using the iCloud sync because there’s no way to delete the Apple Reminders app on the Apple Watch. I wish there was a fix where you could only select certain groups that you wanted synced to the Apple Watch allowing you to keep the iCloud sync but since Apple doesn’t allow you to delete the Apple Reminders app I had to break the syncing functionality and it’s really frustrating please Apple fix this.
    Now nothing pairs fluidly between my watch my phone my tablet and my computer it’s super lame. @apple #pleasefixthis
