Q: Is snooze for Calendar events gone for iOS10?

After upgrading to iOS v10.0.1 there is no longer the option to snooze Calendar event from locked screen.

 

This is some of the basic functions that was included in previous mayor releases (I believe on v8.x) but now is gone...

 

This will impact dramatically every single enterprise user

iPhone, iOS 10

    Hi issac73,

    Thanks for updating to iOS 10! I see that you are unable to snooze your Calendar events from the lock screen. Below you will find some great tips on handling your Notifications while the iPhone is locked. 
    Notifications on your Lock screen

    In iOS 10, you can interact with notifications on the Lock screen to catch up on news, respond to messages, and more without unlocking your device.
    Here are some ways you can view and interact with notifications from the Lock screen:
    To view your lock screen, press the Home button or Sleep/Wake button. If you have an iPhone 6s or later, lift your device to see the Lock screen.
    To respond to a notification, swipe left over it, then tap respond. If you have an iPhone 6s or later, use can use 3D Touch. Just press deeply on the notification, then respond.
    To open the app to respond, swipe right over the notification.

     


    Use Notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


    These tips should assist you with getting the best from your Notifications on your lock screen. Thanks for using Apple Support Communities to post your question. Have a great day.

    Darren, your reply doesn't answer Isaac's question regarding being able to snooze calendar alerts as in the previous iOS.

     

    Let me address the problem again:

     

    1. When on a phonecall, and the calendar alert is displayed (now at the top, instead of centre of screen, which by the way is  confusingly similar to a banner), the user is able to pull down on the alert, and select snooze.

     

    2. This is where the problem is: when the phone is locked, and an Alert pop-up, there is no snooze function here. I see this as something that needs to be reintroduced pronto, as its a feature that many calendar users will have been dependent on over the years.

     

    Please fix.

    Same problem here.  While on the lock screen if I slide a reminder the only options are VIEW and CLEAR, there is no SNOOZE option.  This is a big deal for me as well.  The way it is now it appears we have to go to the calendar entry and manually change the start time in order to get a new reminder.  If we have multiple reminders that need to be snoozed at at the same time then items will get missed.

    You CAN snooze from the lock screen, it just involves one more step:

    - Swipe left for "VIEW"

    - then on the calendar snippet, do "SNOOZE"

     

    Yes would've been nice to do Snooze without going to View first

    Yes. I agree. Entirely.

     

    Yes, it was alarming (pun intended) to discover that the ability to snooze a Calendar

    alert seemled to be gone in iOS 10.

     

    Yes, this did result in losing track of a few Reminders, unless one had the presence

    of mind to remember and edit all Reminders that had popped up.

     

    Yes, jw, I also (eventually) discovered that if you swipe left on the lock screen, this

    does reveal a snooze option.

     

    Yes, Rick, and thanks for the insight, pulling down on a calendar alert while

    unlocked also will reveal a snooze option. FYI for everyone, this is not just

    on calls, but appears to work on other screens, such as while typing a

    response on a forum.

     

    Yes, I agree that alerts now look confusingly similar to banners. Yes, it is

    frustrating to do extra steps to reveal an option that was easily accessible

    before. And may I point out that these steps are now contradictory?

    Although swiping left and choosing View then Snooze works while locked,

    doing so while unlocked brings you into the event and skips any snooze

    option (if you forget you have to pull down instead). All of which are not

    good UI design and not intuitive, points on which Apple supposedly prides

    themselves.

     

    And finally, yes, darren did not answer the original question posed by Isaacs,

    which is not good customer service … which is another point on which Apple 

    supposedly prides themselves.

     

    P.S. Has anyone else ever thought it would be neato-peachy-keen if Apple

    formatted their own forums to render in a more viewable form on their own

    mobile devices in their own mobile browser? Not that I don't *adore* losing

    my posts, sliding back-and-forth, wrapping in bizarre ways, adding manual

    line breaks to make my text fit on my screen, having extra spaces inexplicably

    inserted between words, etc.

    I agree with you, but this was not existing on iOS v10.0.1.

     

    Today, after the v10.0.2 release a couple of days ago, this issue has been addressed. However, as most of the people in this email thread have mentioned, the end user experience seems to be not a priority for Apple these days, which really contradicts their historical strategy in the market.

     

    Looking forward to see if Apple listen to some of these comments.

     

    Thanks to everyone that acknowledged this issue.
