How do iphone reminders work




















The Reminders app is organized by lists. Whenever you create a reminder, that reminder gets populated into your default list, either titled "Reminders" or "My Day.

It's a neat and simple way of organizing all the like-minded reminders together. It's essentially a list that takes all your reminders from within all your different lists and then, given the custom parameters that you set, it automatically groups those reminders together into one "smart" list. It's called a "smart" list because it groups all old and future reminders that fit those custom parameters automatically. For example, you can create a Smart List of all your reminders that are due within a specific time range, or that are overdue or that are based on a location — and afterwards they'll populate that specific Smart List.

You can then select the parameters of the list, be it a time or date range, a various location or a specific tag see below. If you're somebody who with a lot of different reminders, it might become difficult keeping track of them all.

That's exactly why Apple brought its tagging system over to the Reminders app. Just like the Notes app, you can add hashtag to any reminder in its description or title and that reminder will automatically be grouped with all the other reminders that have the same hashtag. You can also add a tag to any reminder by selecting the Tag button when creating or editing a reminder. For example, you can have add the Errands to a number of different reminders — like for picking up the kids, going to the cleaners and mailing a package at the post office — and they'll all appear in the same Errands tag.

Every want to make a reminder within a reminder? That's what the Reminders app calls subtask. For example, you can turn reminder you have for "Bring ski helmet" into a subtask for the larger reminder of "Pack for ski trip.

To do this, you can simply drag and drop the "Bring ski helmet" reminder into the "Pack for ski trip" reminder.

When you look through your lists of reminders you will see a circled "I" to the right of each one. Tap that item to edit the reminder. The edit menu lets you define places day, date, time and locations for reminders.

You can also add notes, include a URL and set priority. It is also possible to set different notification times and frequencies. Smart lists are four pre-chosen collections of reminders that show automatically on the main Reminders screen. Tap on the Today, Scheduled, Flagged or All reminders buttons to find reminders drawn from across all your reminders lists.

For example, if you have work and personal reminders, and need to take your medication every few hours, you should find all those reminders in the Today item. The quick toolbar pops up when you type a new reminder. It shows you which list you are in and the contents of your reminder. It provides tools to set time and data, and to define locations for location-based reminders Arriving Home, Arriving Work, Getting in Car and Custom. You can also flag reminders and add attachments to them in the form of photos from yor photo library, camera, or scanned using your camera.

Subtasks are reminders that live inside the main reminder. Think of these like the smaller tasks you need to complete in order to finish a larger task.

Everyone starts with the "Scheduled" and "Reminders" tabs, and you can customize it by adding new tabs like "To Do" and "Groceries. Create a new reminder in any of your lists, then click on the "i" on the far right to see a new list of options. In the next menu, toggle on "Remind me on a day," choose the day and time to be reminded, and then click the "Repeat" option below.

Create a new reminder in any of your lists, click the "i" on the far right, then click "Remind me at a location" in the next menu. You'll see new options: You can choose to get an alert when you get in or out of your car it has to be paired to your phone , or when you leave or arrive at any location you choose.

Create a new list, click "Edit," and you'll see an option that says "Sharing. Click "Add," and you're all set! Your recipient will get notified with an invitation to join your list. You don't need an Apple device to make a shared list with someone, but they will need an iCloud account to be able to see your active reminders at iCloud. Apple's Family Sharing feature lets you share photos, calendars, movies and other purchased content across any Apple devices owned by family members.

If this feature is activated on your devices, your Reminders app will automatically have a list called "Family" created for you and everyone in your group. If you add any reminders to that list, they'll pop up on all of your family's devices. Activate Siri by holding the power button, and say "Remind me to [do whatever]" — buy pasta, pay a bill, call someone, etc.

Siri also translates important details, so if you say "Remind me to check the fridge when I get home," it will set a location-based reminder. Or, if you say "Remind me to record the Oscars at 7 p. You're getting a call but you can't take it right now. Don't sweat it — just click the "Remind Me" button on the home screen as that person's calling you, and choose when you want to be reminded to call that person back. For you.
