I use icloud add-in on Outlook 365 to sync my reminders and tasks. With the iOS13 reminder update, they are no longer accessible on Outlook. I've tried updating the icloud app on windows, but it doesn't appear to help.
iPhone 6s
I still have Outlook 2010 and therefor no outlookßcom-account. But everybody can get one.
So I opened an outlook.com-account, added it to iPad, iPhone and Outlook on my Windows-PC. Downloaded Microsoft To Do on my Apple-devices.
To Do syncs nicely with Reminders (!) and Outlook Tasks on PC. So I can work with Reminders as before and put To Do on the last screen on the Apple devices, just because it is necessary.
With the outlook.com-account there was a new Calendar called outlook.com. You can see it in Calendar on the Apple-devices and in Outlook on the PC. Same with Contacts.
So I copied contacts and calendar-entries into this calendar and ... Heureka!
For my part, I am happy again. Everything works like before and no iCloud needed anymore.
The Outlook-app for iOS is good, but I am used to the generic ones from Apple, so I will not switch at the moment. But I am satisfied that there is a really good alternative in case we will need it in the future.
Thanks again. Without your post I had never been encouraged enough to try this changes.
I'm adding my voice to this issue. I've synced tasks, calendar, and contacts since they invented iCloud for Windows. I now use Outlook 2016 for everything email, calendar and tasks, but since that last update tasks won't sync with Outlook anymore. They better fix soon, or my next phone will not be an iphone.
Exact same thing! So frustrating! And seeing that there have been posts since late September, and it's now early December, I'm not optimistic about an update to iCloud for Windows. I appreciate all things Apple, and have an iPad Pro, a new iPhone, an iMac, MacBook Pro, and just got an Apple watch, but have to use a PC for work. Up until now they have been playing nice, but for Apple to make this change to syncing functionality sours me toward the brand. A total overreach to make people who use PCs frustrated. Please Apple, address this ASAP...or at least say that you are working towards a new update to iCloud for windows that will restore syncing. To simply say, "You can't see iCloud reminders in Outlook when using iCloud for Windows on your PC" is unacceptable. It probably won't be long until future updates to iOS remove contacts and calendars from syncing too. Maybe I'll need to follow my millennial son and move away from Apple. My Apple watch is still in an unopened box...
Afraid it didn't work for me either. Running MS Office 365 Business on a Surface Pro. Deleted iCloud data file from Outlook, then deleted iCloud App Restarted and retrieved new app from MS Store. So frustrating. It worked perfectly for months!
Thank you for your post and sharing your thoughts about backups.
I too copy contacts to Outlook as backup at least monthly. And Calendar too.
Backup of Calendar is a bit tricky. I always control the backup with the network switched off.
This thread has been open for sometime, and Apple support has been replying with which appears like "hope", but still no solution? Almost seems like they are not moving forward with providing a solution for this problem that they created...
Thank you very much petra229, quite an innovative way of working around the iOS13 problem with Reminders. As you pointed out, it also provides an alternative (and more reliable way) should Apple create further problems. I have tried it and it works just fine!
I've downloaded the MS To Do app to my iphone and put it on the last screen. However, I'm using Outlook 2016 and it does not seem to work. No syncing is happening between the MS app on my iphone and Outlook 2016 on my PC. Should I assume correctly that your work around will only work with an Outlook.com account?
Interesting that Apple is playing the blame game! I have been trying to use Reminders on my Windows PC from iCloud within an internet browser, (I tried Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer), but it does not have full functionality. (Cannot set reminders, etc.). Now, if it is a Microsoft problem, then Reminders on iCloud from within Safari on an Apple product should work perfect. I tried it on my iPhone now, and it does not! So, there is a problem with the Apple product. Don't blame Microsoft.
One more thing: Had I know, I would have waited to upgrade to IOS 13. You're supposed to make things better - not worse.
The same problem. iOS 13.1, iCloud for Windows 7.13 (latest), and Microsoft Office 2016
Very annoying.
Same here! Rude surprise. Shouldn't have upgraded. :-( Need my tasks/reminders in both places.
yes, this is very frustrating. i contact apple on twitter and they never responded back on it. i hope they fix it asap
Is it possible to export the reminders from iCloud's website? I am giving up on Apple resolving this issue and want to move to O365.
This is a terrible situation. The problem with tasks/outlook is awful. Apple must fix this issue immediately.
I have the same issue. This is completely unacceptable Apple. Fix this immediately.
iOS 13 and Outlook Tasks
