## Описание

Apple has a Reminders app on the iPhone that almost no one uses.  But it’s actually pretty useful if used correctly.
One of the most useful things about this reminders app over other reminder and to-do list apps is the ability to use Siri to create reminders.

To keep things organized, it’s best to start with lists.
Once you create a few lists, you can jump in each list and add a reminder.

Then, you can add a widget to make it appear on the very front page of your phone.  The reminders widget could be set to only show you today’s events.

And that's how to use the reminders app on iPhone.

Thank you for watching this video

### Intro []

hey everyone in today's iphone video i want to show you how to use the reminders app it's actually one of the most useful and underrated apps that comes with your phone so most people don't actually use this app but it's a very useful app for setting reminders and using it as a to-do list because you could use siri and tell it what to remind you of verbally rather than typing things out so in this video i want to show you a set of very useful options including us setting a widget for the reminders app and if you deleted this app at some point you can still find it in the app store just look up reminders and go ahead and redownload the app i already have it on this but i have a new install here to show you exactly what a new version looks like

### Add a List [0:46]

and this is the home page of the reminders app and the first thing i typically like to do is just add a list so you may already have things because it does pull things from your email or your calendar automatically so if you do you could go ahead and see if they're useful and delete them if they're not but i'll go ahead and add the list as the first thing i always do with this app and i organize different tasks inside of lists so it's easier to find later so let's say this is everything that's going to be work related to remind me and you could choose a color for it and press done there we go so now i have the

### Create a Reminder [1:21]

house stuff here the things i got to do around the house and the work stuff so add multiple different lists to organize it by default everything just shows up in the main list that is there by default this purple one but now i could jump into any list i created and i could create myself a reminder just from the bottom of the page here and let's say i got to take the garbage out so you would type that and then you have multiple options over here so let me show you this one is probably the most useful because you could set a date and time so let's say on every tuesday i got to take the garbage out so i could set this to repeat every single week so this one weekly so this is how this becomes really useful by setting things that repeat and you could send the end date for the repeat two in most cases i do have to take the garbage out every tuesday forever so i would just apply that on top and with this option let me go back here to show you if i go back to date and time you can set time to so if you want to remind you at 8 00 pm every day you could do that too so i'm gonna be reminded at 8 pm weekly on tuesdays to take the garbage out and i could go ahead and check this off and the new version will appear next week as well you could see it just moved to the next week after that so that's one of the most useful

### Other Features [2:38]

ways you could use this app and there are some more options here as well let me just press i here to show you under any tasks that you create for yourself here besides the date and time and the repeat you could also tag it to make it easier and more searchable you could add a location if that's relevant and this is really useful priority if something is really important you can mark it with a high priority and if i go back here and press done you could see it kind of put that mark on it for me so i could quickly realize this is more important and you also let me go back here at the very bottom add images to it or if it's a larger task and you need subtasks you could add those over here as separate mini reminders underneath each reminder

### Mini Reminders [3:23]

based on how you assign things it will show you things that are due today and scheduled for a later time over here and you could flank things too and then that will show up over here as well if you need to organize things a little bit further so that's the basics

### Advanced Reminders [3:37]

of it but let me show you some more advanced stuff if you want to change the layout of this page just press edit right here and you could move things up and down here based on how you like to organize things same with your lists so if you want the house stuff to be in the beginning you could go ahead and change the order of them over here and then press done and it will reorganize

### Using Siri [3:58]

everything for you if you want to set things using siri this is how that works so i would just go ahead and activate siri i'm going to press and hold hey siri set a reminder to take the garbage out tomorrow and you could see it's been set for me now this is not the one i created i just created this based on siri and now if i refresh this page and go back to reminders there is the reminder hey siri get an oil change tomorrow and you could see you set a reminder for me to get an oil change here and it's already set let me go back to reminder app now it created it over here when i'm done i could go ahead and check that off tomorrow and let me show you my favorite

### Widget [4:36]

thing i do with the reminder app if you press and hold on any page you could press the plus sign here and you could search for reminder here which has a widget by default press that choose a size i like this size i'm going to add this widget right to the top and i'm going to press done and what i like to do is press and hold on it press edit and then change my reminder from lists to what's due today so i could just look at what's due today instead press away and it's going to show me what's due today rather than just something from a list so fixing the garage door is due today i will see that i could jump in there when i'm done press the check mark and it will go away from my to-do list and one last thing you should do is you need to go to the settings here and let me go back under the settings

### Settings [5:23]

menu if you scroll down there is a reminder section if you go here you could actually make sure if you want a daily reminder for things that don't have a time that you set that over here so maybe seven in the morning when you wake up you're reminded of whatever you said under the reminders and you could change your default list from any of the ones we've created before if you want to make one a priority over the rest i usually leave that on the default one because when you use siri to set that it goes into this list and that's completely fine by me and you can make sure show overdue is turned on and if you don't want to get reminders you could mute that from this page and this app only

### Conclusion [6:05]

has eight ratings in the app store but if you use it correctly it's actually very powerful and is very simple at the same time and it's really all you need you don't need a very complicated reminder app this should do the trick so i hope you found this quick video useful make sure you subscribe to this channel for easy to follow app reviews and i'll see you next time
