Reminders – iPhone

Before you use reminders you want to make sure that you have Reminders turned on in iCloud.

• Go to Settings > Apple ID (your name at the top) > iCloud > Reminders (or Show All > Reminders)

For more information on Reminder Settings, see Reminder Settings.

Create a Reminder List

You must create at least one Reminder list to use reminders. You can also categorize your reminders by creating different lists for Reminders. To do this:

• Select Add List at the bottom right hand corner of the screen from the Reminders App
• Then select a name for your Reminders list such as “Doctors Appointments,” “Homework Due,” etc.
• Then customize by Color or Icons and click Done to finalize your Reminders List.

Create a Reminder

To create a Reminder:

• Access your Reminders app.
• Then click on + New Reminder in the bottom left hand corner
• Then create a title for your reminder and type in some notes if necessary.

If you want to set up some more details for your Reminder:

• Click on Details after you’ve entered your Title and Notes for your Reminder.
• Then you can add Date, Time, Tags, Location, When messaging, Flag, and categorize the priority of the reminder and add images and URLs.

Create Subtasks

You can also add subtasks for reminders. For example, if you have a reminder to go on a vacation and there are things you need to do to prepare for the vacation or you need reminders while you’re on vacation then this feature may come in handy. To do this:

• Once you’ve created all of your reminders you can simply long press on a reminder and drag it to another reminder and it will now be a subtask of the reminder you dragged it to.
• You can also swipe right on a reminder and select Indent or Swipe right again and select Outdent to remove the reminder from being a subtask.
• You can also select a Reminder and click on the (i) icon and scroll down to Subtasks to add Subtasks
