reminders into ‘to-do’ lists
If you make a reminder to go to the supermarket
and then you’d like to have a checklist of reminders
for everything you need to buy there, the new
Reminders app lets you do that with Subtasks.
You can check off subtasks as you finish them, which
allows individual reminders to function as to-do lists.
Unfortunately, you’ll have to do a little digging in order
to add Subtasks. First, make a new reminder. When
you’re done, press the blue ‘i’ in the blue circle that
appears to the right of the reminder for more options.
From there, scroll down Subtasks and press it. In
the menu that pops up, press Add Reminder and add
as many subtasks as you want. (Be sure to press Add
Reminder again so it actually shows up – it’s a little
counter-intuitive.) When you’re done, press Details in
the upper left, and then press Done in the upper right
of the new menu.
To see your subtasks, just tap the title for the
reminder you want to expand in the main interface.
All of the associated subtasks should then appear, and
you can mark them as completed from there.Nested Reminders
You can do something similar with existing reminders
by making a nested reminder, and the process is a lot
simpler. You simply drag one reminder to the remindertakerightnow.PressPhotoLibrarytochooseaphoto
