I have it set so that the reminder makes a sound. I don't want it to read out loud automatically, but I don't get the "cord" sound and I don't get a message displayed ... anywhere--neither on the iPhone or on my Apple watch.

Hello Ann,

I love, love, love the native iOS reminders app. In fact, I don't think I could get through my week without it.

As for having the text of the reminder read out loud? I believe this has to do with a VoiceOver setting.

As for me, I would never want VoiceOver to automatically read the text of a reminder. Instead, I have my reminders set to display a persistent banner across the screen which, forces me to interact with it.

Explore the Reminders notification settings and see what happens.

I can't for the life of me get reminders to remind. My friend can tell Siri "create a reminder in 3 minutes to walk the dog", and in three minutes the dinger dings and the phone says to walk the dog. With me, nada.

I have tried with Siri, without Siri. I have examined the settings for reminders and notifications and everything looks right. Is there a hidden command I need to find somewhere and check or uncheck?

thanks,
Ann
