Syncing reminders between iPad and iPhone.

Using the most up to date iOS, why isn’t my reminder list sync with my iPhone using the most current iOS? Didn’t they fix it?

Hello,


When you upgraded your iPhone to iOS 13 you received a big bold red message in Reminders saying that if you upgraded Reminders you would be unable to synchronize Reminders between your iPhone and legacy devices running legacy system software. It then included a list of incompatible devices associated with your Apple ID. You cannot synchronize Reminders between your iPhone running iOS 13 and an iPad running iOS 12 (or earlier).

Asking if something will be fixed implies that something is broken. Nothing here is broken. Everything is functioning as expected. When you made the decision to upgrade Reminders you were explicitly told that you would be unable to synchronize Reminders between current devices and legacy devices. You cannot reverse your decision to upgrade. This is how it is. The only way to proceed would be to purchase a newer iPad model.
