How to create shortcuts for call reminders on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Hello!


I recently started using apples own reminders app. And it works seamless across my devices. One feature I miss is the ability to one press call number or person that I'm being reminded to call. When I search the web I came across one article that claims to have a solution.


This trick only works with Siri. If you type in the same text for a reminder, you won’t get the shortcut to make the call in one click on the reminding notification.


Tre steps:


How to create shortcuts for call reminders on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

  1. Activate Siri (Press and hold your Side button or Home button, or say “Hey Siri,” tap the Siri button on Touch Bar or the menu bar on Mac)
  2. Make a request like “Remind me to call Zac at 12:10 pm”
  3. You’ll see a colored phone icon with a shortcut to make your phone call


I have tried this, but it does not work. The colored phone icon does not appear, or I can't click and call right away.


So every time I have to call a client (that's not in my phonebook) I have to copy the phone number and change to phone app and paste the number and then call. Same thing with people that's registered in my phonebook.



I am grateful for all the help I can get.
