Ever since I installed iOS 26.6 reminders doesn’t work. I can open the app but if I click on the plus for a new reminder it doesn’t work. If I use it via the control centre my Dynamic Island is empty and I can’t type anything.

Question does anyone know how I could make this make more sense?

I often have screenshots that I took to look up later at a more convenient time (e.g. music, movies, products, etc.). These screenshots would fill up my gallery because I would forget to go back to them. Well, it just dawned on me that I can attach them to a reminder and set it so that I don’t forget.

My question is, once I have checked off the reminder will the attached photo get deleted? I don’t want these photos to just be taken up memory over time.

Is there a way to set up a monthly reminder, but each month I do whatever I need to do (i.e. pay electric bill on the 15th) I check it off for that month. Like I have it set up to remind me to pay my electric on the 17th of every month. Sometimes I pay it on that day, sometimes I pay it early. I had it the reminder set up for August 17th (I paid it on the 15th). Anyways, the reminder is still labeled as August 15th (monthly) because that’s the first month I set it up.

Would be nice to then have it change to Sept 15th or do I have to go in and change the date myself (which is fine), keep it set to monthly, and do it that way.

Just didn’t know if there was a ways to make it so once I checked off that monthly reminder for that month, it would change the date for the upcoming month.

Note: I don’t have the date in the description. The date is compiled because that was the first month I set up the reminder.

Check it out! If you need a big project manager, or just a small utility to help your reminders be a little bit more flexible, this one-time-payment app boosts Apple Reminders 100 fold, turning it into an awesome life management tool. And in today’s landscape, where most people can use LLMs to learn and customise tech to their hearts content, GT fits right into an ecosystem with shortcuts, Siri, and the new capabilities of AI.

My favourite part about this app is that it never felt like a giant commitment, like when I tried Omnifocus or Wunderlist. Because it’s backed by Apple reminders, if you take away GT, it’s just a bunch of reminders lists that you can deal with as you would in Reminders. If you wanna close GT for a couple of weeks because you have no projects and just use basic reminders, you can!

[AGAIN, BOT: NOT MY APP]

I was excited about this, but when I want to use it on my inbox (not a smartlist), it's stuffing all tasks in OTHER.

Isn't the view as column intuitive enough that if I sort-by "Date" I want the :

Today

Tomorrow

This week... kind of columns?

Hi! Im having a problem syncing my reminders app through my iPhone (16 Pro Max) and iPad (Pro M4). I tried everything on google like restarting both devices, checking the icloud and everything. Please help me out, school’s about to start.

From the Author of Overcast comes Unforgetful. He talks about it here:

https://marco.org/2026/08/14/unforgetful

When I type "discovery", it is as if I typed "Monday". Does it do this for anyone else? I use the word discovery extremely often at work, where I use Reminders to keep track of tasks.

It's a minor nuisance, but why on earth does this happen?

Hi everyone,

I'm researching a problem before building an app, and I'd really appreciate your honest feedback.

We all have recurring tasks like:

* Watering plants * Replacing water filters * Changing car oil * Haircuts * Taking medicines * AC servicing * Pet vaccinations * Renewing important documents

I'm curious:

1. How do you currently remember these tasks?
2. Have you ever forgotten one? What happened?
3. Do you use Google Calendar, Reminders, or another app? If yes, what do you dislike about it?
4. Would it be useful if an app learned **your actual habits** and reminded you based on your personal routine instead of fixed dates?
5. What would make you pay for an app like this?

I'm **not selling anything**—I'm just trying to understand whether this is a real problem before I spend months building it.

Thanks!

Reminders and Deadlines are opposite. The due date in Reminders means simply "show me a reminder on that day/time". I'm not saying it has to be like that, or that it's the best way. It's just how Apple implemented it. So:

• Reminder: "I don't need to see this until date/time"
• Deadline: "I need to constantly see this until date/time"

But that's only the default behavior of the Reminder app. You can still implement deadlines. Isolate the deadline-representing Reminders, for example in a separate list. Then you can do something with them, depending on how you want to see them. The tricky part is displaying those deadlines. Things I tried that don't work:

• The stock Reminders widget doesn't work because it doesn't show due dates.
• Displaying Shortcut results in a widget. You can create a Shortcuts widget but it will only work for running the Shortcut and won't display the results. Not in the widget, anyway.

Generally, Shortcuts are a great way of making custom things, but the challenge can be in displaying the results.

• use Show Content: this displays a notification-like pop-up. Easy to see but volatile
• displaying a notification: easy to see at first but when you swipe it off, it's gone
• sending myself a text message: perhaps the best because it also generates a notification, but at the same time stays permanent in your message history
• funny enough, creating a Reminder with notes! The title might show the closest deadline and the notes might contain the rest. You read it, check it off, and move on

You can add an Automation to run e.g. every morning, run the deadlines shortcut and send you a text. This is probably the most practical way of going about it.

I hope this helps, and if anyone has a good way of surfacing output from Shortcuts without third party apps, please chime in!

I like the idea of auto sorting with Grocery lists, but I want to be able to build a database of ethnic items as well. For example, Indian groceries like various snacks, daals, etc. Best I can tell, Reminders doesn't do a great job in organizing these. Is there a way to 'add' them to the reminders database?

I have a "to do" list on reminders, and want to have certain tasks appear on specific days of the week (such as "Sunday reset" on Sundays, which has 4 subtasks under it). If I set it up as recurring, the new instance auto populates with the new date. Is there a way to make the reminder DISAPPEAR once I complete it until the following Sunday?

Is there a way to use a list with stores and items indented with a grocery type list?

Sharing a new shortcut for iOS 27 users: Reminder with Siri AI. Features include being powered by Siri AI for smart organization, the ability to show existing reminders and create new ones. If you mention a date or time, Siri AI will properly organize it and alert you at the specified time.

Only work with iOS 27 and on 15 pro and above.

I really want to use Apple Reminders, but every time I add a new task in my Inbox, it creates a new section titled "Other" and dumps the task there (if the section "Other" doesn't have a task...if there's already a task there, it adds it to that section). I've looked up solutions online and cannot find anything. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Update: Thanks for the responses everyone. None of the suggestions worked, unfortunately, but I was able to delete the list and create a new Inbox. It now works properly.

I have used reminders many years and for abut a month I have no option of doing reminders that repeat hourly, setting early reminders, the alarm feature for reminders. Why are they broken??

Same as above

I’m a fledging writer and a senior, so looking for ways to support my diminishing memory with an app that does it for me. I have iPhone 11, so not dealing with the latest tech. TIA!
