Reminder App - Default List is blank

Hi


On my iPad Pro and iPhone XS when trying to use the reminders app, it says I have no default lists. When i go to add one or view the page it is just blank. See screenshot. Any ideas?


iPhone XS, iOS 13

Greetings, Demtschuk.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Being able to organize your Reminders and set a default list is vital, so it’s understandable that you’d be concerned. 


First, Restart your iPhone and Restart your iPad. Then, make sure your OS is up-to-date on each device: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Ensure that you are signed into the correct iCloud account on each device as well: Sign in with your Apple ID.


Make sure that you have iCloud > Reminders turned on for each device: Change your iCloud feature settings.


Finally, follow the steps to create a list.


“How to create a new Reminders list

  1. Tap Add List in the the Reminders app's main screen.
  2. Type a name for the list.
  3. Choose a color and an icon to customize the list and make it easier to recognize at a glance. Icons are available only for lists that you've created in your iCloud account.
  4. Tap Done.“ Use Reminders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Don’t hesitate to respond if you have further questions.


All the best.
