Setting a Reminder on an iPhone

With its built-in Reminder app, you can easily set reminders for anything you want. Whether it’s a meeting, a birthday, or simply remembering to pick up groceries, the Reminder app is here to help. In this article, we will walk you through the steps of setting a reminder on your iPhone.
Step 1: Open the Reminder App
The first step is to locate and open the Reminder app on your iPhone. You can find it on your home screen – it’s the icon that looks like a white checkmark inside a green square. Tap on the icon to launch the app.
Step 2: Create a New List
Once you have opened the Reminder app, you will see your existing lists if you have any. To create a new list for your reminders, tap on the “+” button located at the top right corner of the screen.
A pop-up window will appear asking for a name for your new list. Enter a name that best represents the type of reminders you want to set and tap “Done”.
Step 3: Add Reminders to Your List
Now that you have created a new list, it’s time to add some reminders! Tap on your newly created list from the main screen of the Reminder app. Once inside, tap on the “+” button at the bottom of the screen.

Option 1: Type in Your Reminder
If you prefer typing out your reminder, simply enter it in the text field that says “New Reminder”. Once done, tap “Return” or “Done” on your keyboard.

Option 2: Use Voice Recognition
If you find typing too cumbersome, you can use the built-in voice recognition feature.
Tap on the microphone button located to the right of the text field. Speak out your reminder clearly, and your iPhone will transcribe it into text automatically.
Step 4: Set a Due Date and Time
After adding your reminder, you can choose to set a due date and time for it. Tap on the “i” button located to the right of your reminder.
Setting a Due Date
To set a due date, tap on “Remind me on a day”. You will be presented with options like “Today”, “Tomorrow”, or you can select a specific date from the calendar.
Setting a Due Time
If you want to set a specific time for your reminder, tap on “Remind me at a time”. Choose the desired time using the scrolling wheel or enter it manually.
Step 5: Add Additional Details (Optional)
If your reminder requires additional information, such as location or priority level, you can include that too. Tap on “Details” below the due date and time settings.
- Adding Location: Tap on “Location” to enable location-based reminders. Your iPhone will prompt you to either select an existing location from your contacts or enter a new address.
- Setting Priority: Tap on “Priority” if you want to assign priority levels to your reminders. You can choose between High, Medium, or Low priority.
Step 6: Save Your Reminder
Once you have entered all the necessary details for your reminder, simply tap “Done” at the top right corner of the screen. Your reminder will be saved and added to your list.
