How to use the ‘Remind when messaging’ feature on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Reminders got a big redesign with the latest software for iPhone, iPad, and Mac including the option to make subtasks and sublists, 72 options for list icons and colors, a new UI, and more.

Another subtle yet handy feature is to set a reminder to trigger when you text someone in the Messages app.

  2. Tap the “i” icon to the right of your reminder
  3. Enable Remind me when messaging by tapping the toggle
  4. Tap Choose Person
  5. Select someone from your contacts
  6. Tap Done in the top right corner
