Re: Question about the reminder app

Sieghard,  Thanks for those additional details. They seem to support my decision to use my Echo for my reminders.  Alan  Sent from my iPhone On Oct 3, 2024, at 2:04 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote:  Hi Alan,   This once again is where I find Siri is very stupid. If I say “Set a reminder for October 8 at 10 AM” Siri will then ask what I want to be reminded about. If I then say “Doctor’s appointment at Noon” Siri answers me, OK, I’ll remind you and if I then check the reminder, it will still only say “Doctor’s appointment” and Siri will have set  it up for October 8 at 12 PM even though I had previously asked for it to be set for October 8 at 10 AM.   From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Thursday, October 3, 2024 11:43 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Question about the reminder app   Or you could just set your reminder for the time you want to first be alerted and include the actual appointment time within the text of the reminder.    Alan Lemly  Sent from my iPhone On Oct 3, 2024, at 1:30 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote:  Say you want a reminder about a doctor’s appointment at 10 AM on October 8, just say to Siri “Remind me about my Doctor’s appointment at 10 AM on October 8”. The only thing is that if you want to be reminded a certain time prior to your appointment time, you have to open the reminders app after you created the reminder with Siri, flick down  with 1 finger until you get to “Show details”, double tap on it and then swipe until you find “Early Reminder”, double tap and select the time you want to be reminded prior to the appointment time. The options are: 5 minutes before 15 minutes before 30 minutes before 1 hour before 2 hours before 1 day before 2 days before 1 week before 1 month before Custom – this allows you to select, for example, 3 hours or 5 hours before, but you can only do full hours, something like 4 hours and 30 minutes before is not supported. I have so far not found a way to set a reminder with Siri for a particular time and include the information about a 2 hour early reminder. Maybe once we get further with Apple Intelligence Siri will be able to do this.           From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Rena Sent: Thursday, October 3, 2024 5:45 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Question about the reminder app   Hello,   What should I do to have the phone reminding me about anything? Once I asked Siri to remind me and the reminder showed up in my windows pc instead of the phone. I would like the phone ring or make any sound to remind me   Is it possible?   Rena -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
