Setting a reminder on iPhone is quick, whether you tap it in or ask Siri. But if you want advance notice, flexible repeats, and the same reminders on any phone, there's a smarter way too.
Set a reminder on iPhone
You can set a reminder on iPhone in a couple of ways:
- Ask Siri: "Remind me to call the bank tomorrow at 10am."
- Open the Reminders app, add a title, then set a date and time.
- Add it from a notification, email, or shared link.
A smarter, cross-platform way
If you switch between phones, or want advance alerts (days before, not just on the day), use a dedicated reminder app. Reminder Notifications works on both iPhone and Android, lets you choose how many days early to be reminded, and keeps everything organized in groups.
Recurring reminders done right
With Reminder Notifications you can repeat a reminder hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, and attach a photo or note — so a single reminder covers everything from a daily pill to a yearly birthday.
