Snooze Calendar Notifications in Big Sur

How do you snooze calendar notifications more than the default 5 min?


In Catalina, you could long-press the Snooze button and get a choice as to how long the notification was snoozed. I tried it in Big Sur and I don't get the list.

No, the manual just says that if the notification has the Options button, click Options then click Snooze. There is no option to long-press Snooze to get different snooze durations. They used to have long-pressing Snooze to get different durations in the Calendar documentation for Big Sur, but they changed the documentation shortly after 11.1 was released. They have removed references to long-pressing which tells you that it isn't a bug; they actually removed the ability to get different snooze durations. Do NOT expect to see it come back with the next release. If you want to see that ability to come back, file Feedback with Apple as they do not check this forum.

I noticed this also and called Apple support. Apparently, this is the new design. I think it makes the Calendar app both useless and irritating. I have complained to the support person and also submitted a complaint online. For example, my wife set up a calendar event for November 16th for herself with a two day alert. This morning I started receiving (since we share a calendar) calendar notice for this event. I can make it snooze for the standard 15 minutes, but of course it comes back, and back, and back. No way to tell it to wait until, say, 2 hours before the event. This is so irritating that I am gong to rollback to Catalina. I can't believe that someone did this. WHY?

Don't know if I am supposed to write this here but another thing that is happening to me is that if I bring a photo up from a text message on my Mac it won't close. The only way I can close it is to restart the computer. This is the first time in all the time I've had a Mac that I've even really noticed any difference with an OS upgrade.
