Reminders

Step-by-step Tag a contact in a reminder

1

Select a category

Using iOS 13, start by opening the

Reminders app and, on the main page, select

one of the categories – Today, Scheduled, All

or Flagged – or else choose one of your lists.

2

Create a reminder

Now tap ‘New Reminder’ which you’ll

find located at the bottom of the screen. This

will let you write something you need to recall

about a contact when you’re next in touch.

3

Select information

After you have written the reminder, you

can tap the ‘i’ icon which appears to the right

of the input line. This will show a list of details

that you can add to the reminder.

By tagging people in Reminders, prompts will

be sent when you next contact them

S

cientists reckon that the human brain can hold as

much as 2.5 petrabytes of information but we still

end up forgetting people’s birthdays and other

such vital details. It’s why many iPhone users make good

use of the Reminders app which, as of iOS 13, can now

go a little further and prod your memory about a particular

task relating to one particular person when you next get

in touch – it’s a great addition for the more absent-minded

amongst us.

Indeed, by tagging a specific person in the reminders

that you create within the app, a notification can be sent

in Messages when you write to that particular contact

either via an iMessage or SMS. This would be great if you

suddenly remember that you need to mention something

to a friend in the dead of night, for instance, giving you

a prompt when you’re able to make contact at a more

reasonable hour.

notification when you next get in touch
