How to create location based reminders with iPhone

In iOS, Apple's Reminders app can be set to remind you of something specific, when you arrive or leave a location. The application does this by using a feature called Geofencing , which triggers a reminder when your location changes.

A location-based reminder can be helpful in many situations. For example, you need to remember to buy something for dinner, after leaving the office. Or maybe you need a little time to feed or water your cat when you get home from work in the evening.

Regardless of your use case, here's how to set location-based reminders with an iPhone or iPad running iOS 13 or later.

Adding a reminder to the list can be done by clicking the list and then clicking the + New Reminder button. If you don't have a list, tap the Today, Scheduled, All or Flagged categories at the top of the app, then select New Reminder at the bottom of the screen.
