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.

Once you have named the reminder, press the information button (" i ") next to open the Details screen, then click the switch next to Remind me at a location to move it to the location. On the green.

Click Location , then search or type the address in the search field at the top of the screen. Click a location in the results, then select Arriving or Leaving on the map that appears.

In addition, you can choose to receive reminders at home or work in predefined locations in Maps , or when getting in or out of the car. Whatever you choose, return to the Details screen, then press Done. Reminders based on your location are set up and ready to go.
