I upgraded to iOS13 and updated the reminders app. It has pulled in all my lists EXCEPT for the main “Reminders” list. This list is visible in iCloud web app but not the reminders app on my phone.

How do I get my reminders LIST back in my reminders app - the iOS13 Reminders app seems to not want to display my reminders LIST

iPhone 7

I also had this problem.

I solved this problem using the following steps:

Turn on airplane mode.

Note: to backup your lists. (optional at your discretion) Backing up your iPhone will not help since the Reminders are gone.

Open a browser

Login iCloud

Click Reminders

Print each list as a backup Note: If the list is bigger than the screen, be sure to scroll down and print a second page.

After BACKUP:

On iPhone, go to Settings > select Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store

Select iCloud

Reminders > Toggle off Reminders

Delete all Reminders on iPhone > Yes

Now Reminders Toggle on

Close Settings

Open Reminder app

Your reminders should immediately be visible.

I hope this helps you also.

I agree. I am so shocked that Apple has not made this issue a priority knowing how many people rely on these apps to sync with our other APPLE products. I refer to my Reminders so many times per day and it is a pain having to go my iphone all the time instead of adding to my reminders from my Macbook and knowing it will get synced through. I think i will checkout the other to do apps as well.

I tried the setup above and it didn't work for me.


I have deleted all reminders from the iPhone. Deleted all reminders from my Mac. Deleted all reminders from iCloud. Tuned off sync reminders in iPhone, and Mac system preferences. I signed out off iCloud completely on Mac and iPhone. Restarted, flushed Safari cache, restarted iPhone, and reset PRAM (Just in case). After all that I Opened Mac reminders, saw no lists, created a new list, logged back into iCloud on Mac, merged Reminders. Logged into iCloud. The newly created list doesn't show up. It's been about a day. All of a sudden a list I deleted from Mac and iPhone showed up in iCloud. I can't delete it. I created a new reminder in that list on iCloud and it doesn't sync to Mac. I logged into iCloud on my iPhone, merged reminders. 3 lists appeared titled "new list". One list contains reminders I deleted months ago. I don't know why they showed up. None of those list synced to reminders on my Mac or to iCloud.com. My shared Family list appeared on my iPhone (not my Mac) but show the title "new list" not Family. My iPhone has the sync list indicator (spinning wheel thing) and it hasn't stopped.


The short and long of it is nothing syncs.


At this point I am not sure what to do. I have read loads of articles on the community forums. I have even set the phone up as new.


Because this issue isn't fixed at this point I suspect it's so bad it's beyond the teams ability to fix. Or they don't care because they are on to iOS 14.
