Shared Apple Reminders That Never Disappear

Maybe one day Apple will find time to fix this bug with shared Reminders. Maybe not, given all that it keeps piling on its seemingly overflowing plate these days.Here’s the thing. Apple has a nifty feature to share lists and Reminders in the Reminders app. It allows you to create a list and share it among family, friends, or perhaps even National Security officials but I haven’t heard of it being used that way. Yet.It works as advertised when it comes to actually sharing a Reminder. My wife and I use it for grocery and other shopping lists. If she’s doing an inventory through the cabinets prior to a grocery run, I’ll get notifications of the Reminders she adds to the list.The problem pokes its head up after those Reminders are completed.  Those notifications don’t disappear the way non-shared Reminders do. They hang around. Seemingly forever. At least in my case, sometimes for hours.The two Reminders in the image above are from my iMac. My wife added them after I had already headed to the store on a day of errands. They were still there hours after I had checked them off in the Shared Reminders list on my iPhone. The notifications still remained on my iPhone as well.You have to manually get rid of these Shared Reminder notifications, which seems like a silly bug to me. It’s been around since Shared Reminders was introduced in iOS 13. It’s a shame it’s been around so long because Apple has done a good job over the years evolving the Reminders app into something that’s really useful.Perhaps Apple Intelligence will figure out a way to fix this somewhere down the line. I won’t set a shared Reminder to check on that though.You can find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.

This is the state of #Apple #Siri now. Completely unusable. I asked Siri to remind me about the message I was looking at - this worked flawlessly for years. It would always grab the message and add it to #Reminders with a link to the message itself. Now it takes a screenshot and asks me if I want to upload this to #ChatGPT, which can do nothing with it. I responded with “Nope I want you to remind me about my message tomorrow.” Siri’s response was “OK, I won’t.“

TechCrunch: ChatGPT now lets you schedule reminders and recurring tasks. “Paying users of OpenAI’s ChatGPT can now ask the AI assistant to schedule reminders or recurring requests. The new beta feature, called tasks, will start rolling out to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users around the globe this week.”
