The Reminders app for iPhone saw some major changes in the latest version of iOS (iOS16), so with that in mind, I decided to create a full tutorial for this excellent app!

Since getting my first Apple device I use Reminders all the time and nothing else. I have found it very easy to use and it works pretty darn good for me. After showing my wife that we can share a shopping list and no longer have to use a 3rd party app she has used the Reminders app and has deleted her 3rd party shopping app. Thanks for all the informative Apple/iPhone videos I have learned tons of things about the iPhone and it's eco system.

This is an excellent video with many solid advanced tips. As a former android user, I have tons of lists in Google Keep with no easy way to move them over. I think iOS’ implementation of subtasks is cumbersome to google keep where you just indented the subtask from the main list without needing to go into a sub menu. If you have your office365 account added to apple mail (even if just for contacts and calendar etc), the tasks list will sync nicely with outlook on the desktop/web and it will show you all your flagged email as well. There are not many wins for us PC users when it comes to iOS integration but this is definitely one of them.

One of the really cool things is that you can now drag and drop reminders into the calendar app and vice versa. If you're a big to do list guy that just can't commit to when to do certain things because of too many variables in you life, you can have many different to do lists and drag and drop individual task into the calendar app when you see fit... 😁

@leetownsend5082 Жыл бұрын

I have lots of to-do apps, but I tend to use a calendar accessible on my watch using MemoMa. It's the calendar on which I store what I eat. I need to lose weight. Then when I get home and can load calendars on my Mac, I move the non-food entries from the weight loss calendar to the appropriate calendar. I have one for notes (reminders, to-dos, random thoughts, etc.), one for Appointments, and one for Medical. When I was teaching (I just retired), I also used a calendar for my university (classes, meetings, etc.). All calendars were different colors so it was easy to see to which calendar an entry belonged. Based on this video, I will now test out Apple's Reminders app. It looks like I will have to add an entry to Today (at the top of the list screen) and then move them when I get home. I would rather have the lists on the top of the watch face as a list entry is typical of what I might add.

I’d love it if when you complete a reminder/to do it records the data and time it was completed. A reappearing to do list would be nice. Ie you complete the task then it reappears to start the list again fresh. I’d also like multiple alerts to the reminder. Ie one day, a week,or a month before the reminder actually reminds you. MS To Do does this. Some features need to overlap with Notes and Calendar.

Enjoy your videos. Great to the point information and since subscribing, have learned so much. I totally Agee with your comment: Wish Apple would incorporate a sync with the calendar. I love the feature regarding tags and locations in Reminders.. I tag a reminder with a location and when entering that location it pops up on my watch. I'd like to see a video (if you haven't already) on the Apple Password Manager . It feels awkward and keeps all passwords- ones that have been changed making it awkward. I have simplified with just writing down the password and labeling it in a way I will remember, taking a photo and putting it in Notes or even Photos. Much easier. Any suggestions? Yes, I realize Apple will eventually do away with passwords. In the meantime... Thank you for your videos!

One thing that's annoying is if you have a task with subtasks the easiest way to see them is in the task's main list. In Today or Flagged to see the subtasks you have to tap on the "i" and scroll down to the bottom and tap 'subtasks'. Also, attachments look different depending on whether you're looking at them in a list or Today,etc. I wish there was consistency among views.
