Customize Options

Customizing options allows users to personalize their reminder experience. With iPhone, there are several available customization settings.

First is the hourly setting. This option lets users adjust how often they receive reminders by choosing an time between 1 hour and 24 hours. For example, if you need to take your medication every 8 hours, you can set a reminder for 8-hour intervals.

Second is the lists setting which allows users to organize their reminders into categories like “Work” or “Grocery Shopping” etc. This is great for staying organized and prioritizing tasks as needed. It makes it easier to view what needs to be done in each category separately. Rather than having all the reminders mixed together in one place.

Finally, users can also customize when they want their reminder notifications to appear by selecting on lock screen. If they would like push notifications and visual cues on their home screen whenever a new reminder pops up. With these customizable options, iPhone allows users to tailor reminders according to their individual needs and preferences.

Add Notes & Attachments

Adding Notes and Attachments to Reminders is a great way to stay organized. By adding additional information, you can quickly access the data you need on-the-go. With Siri, it’s super easy to add notes or attach images, documents, and even audio recordings to your reminders. To do this on iOS devices, simply open a Reminder and select the “Add Note” or “Add Attachment” option at the bottom of the page. You can also use Siri voice commands such as “Hey Siri add a note to my grocery list reminder”. She will prompt you with a text box where you can type in any additional information you want. If adding an attachment, choose from your device’s photo library or camera roll before saving it with your reminder. Now when viewing your reminders later on, all of your notes and attachments will be accessible right away!

Change Alert Tone (Optional)

Once you have the reminder set, you can customize your alert tone. To do this, tap the “Edit” button in the top right corner of your screen. From here, select the “Alerts” tab and then choose from one of the numerous available tones. You can also create a custom tone by recording one with your phone or importing one from another source. When finished, simply press “Done” to save your changes and apply them to the reminder alert. Once the new alert tone is set, it will sound when it’s time for you to complete your task. For those who prefer a silent notification instead of an audible one, this option is also available. Select “None” under Alert Tones and save your changes.

Confirm and Save

Once you have set the time, date and alert sound for your reminder, it’s time to confirm and save. To do this, tap the “Done” button in the top right corner of your screen. This will bring up a list of options including “Save” and “Cancel”. Tap on “Save” to lock in all changes you have made to the reminder. This will save all settings; ensuring that your reminder is ready to go when the specified time arrives! If you need to make any further changes or want to delete a reminder before it goes off, simply select “Edit” from within the list of options instead of saving.
