How to put a reminder on iPhone

Note: Next, we will look at several applications from the most famous software developers who have proven themselves among users, completely free, deprived advertising and built-in purchases. They have both simpler and more advanced analogs, but the disadvantage of most of the latter is as time as an abundance of advertising and / or distribution on a fee or a subscription.

Method 1: Apple Apple

You can solve the task voiced in the title title and without installing applications from third-party developers - there are necessary funds in the IOS itself.

Option 1: Calendar

Apple's calendar Although not endowed with such wide opportunities, as a similar product from Google, but to create a reminder will not be difficult.

Download Apple Calendar from App Store

1. Run the standard calendar application. If for some reason it was deleted, use the following link to the installation.



2. Highlight the date on which you want to put a reminder, and click on the "+" button located in the upper right corner.



3. Enter the reminder text.

   

   If necessary, add a place.

   

   You can manually enter it, select the current geoposition or one of the recent places.

   

   Next, determine whether the reminder will be actively all day,

   

   or manually indicate the beginning and end of its execution,

   

   Setting both the date and time.

   

   Note: The end of the event is not necessary to indicate.

   Select whether the notification will be repeated,

   

   And if so, then to what date.

   

   If the entry is tied to the place, you can add "time on the way",

   

   Additionally, noting the "initial geoposition".

   

   You can also choose which the recording will be added to which calendar. This is relevant for both personal and family and / or working cases.

   

   The main thing is that you should specify in our case - this is a "reminder", that is, the time you receive a notice.

   

   Available options: "At the time of events" or a certain interval before it. For greater efficiency, it is possible to install a second reminder.

   

   Among other things, the URL can be added to the record.

   

   and notes.

   

   After completing the creation, tap on the inscription "Add",

   

   After that, the event will immediately appear in the calendar on the date you specified,

   

   where can it be viewed

   

   "Edit"

   

   (opens access to the same parameters as when creating a new event)

   

   Or delete.



Apple's calendar is largely similar to the one-time solution from Google, which we further consider, and is well suited not only for personal use, but also for the joint.

Option 2: Reminders

If the calendar seems to you not the most appropriate application to create reminders, you can use a more obvious solution, also pre-installed in iOS.

Download Apple Reminders from App Store

1. If the application was accidentally or specifically deleted from the iPhone, install it by using the link to the download page above and run.



2. Tap at the above inscription "Add list",

   Touch the inscription "New Reminder"

   

   And enter it.

   And add a media file.

   Add note as desired

   

   and URL.

   

   Specify the date

   

   Pre-transferring to the active position the "Remind per day" switch,

   

   And time is "remind over time."

   

   If required,

   

   Determine the frequency of repetition of the event.

   

   In the event that the recordable information is attached to the place, activate the corresponding switch

   

   and specify geoction,

   

   By providing this required permission.

   

   If an event is associated with a specific user, it can be done so that the reminder appears when sending it to the message.

   

   To do this, simply activate the appropriate item, and then select the desired person from the address book.

   

   Also available priority definition

   

   and the list in which it will be saved.

   and images -

2. Check out the recorded record. It is immediately added to the standard application, the default list. If everything suits you, just close the dialogue with a voice assistant, otherwise tap the "Change" button.



3. Write on how you want to correct or add a reminder, or do it manually.



Similarly, you can add a new entry to the calendar, only for this will have to say Siri something like a "add an event to the calendar" and further continue communication with it or make the necessary edits yourself.
