Calendar notification snooze in Big Sur?

Yes, this is a VERY annoying loss of features and a BUG that needs to be corrected ASAP -- c'mon Apple!

I am guessing as part of integrating iOS and MacOS, this may have been removed (as iOS does not have the snooze options).

BUT this IS a critical feature. I set up 15 min reminder for calendar and then snooze till 1 min before the meeting start. This ensured that I called in to the meeting for sure. Now the notifications are not consistent. So I have been calling into meetings late. Can you PLEASE add the snooze options feature back?

Ugh, just upgraded to a new MBP and am sorely disappointed with this feature being removed :( If anyone knows any workarounds or 3rd party apps that could be used in its absence, please chime in.

Got a reminder about a birthday and want to snooze it until later when you're able to FaceTime? NOPE! You can set an entirely new reminder or snooze it every 5 minutes for the next several hours! C'mon, Apple.....

Apple seems to be heading into whadafug territory. I've had a long familiarity with Apple products, going back to the 80s, and owned or had professional use of them for many years. I moved away from Windows products "for good" about 10 years ago. But I still deal with them now and then. I just bought a Windows 10 computer for my wife because that's what she wanted. But I scratched my head at its wahdafug-endness. Apple doesn't want to keep trending that way, because there are now at least a few things that Windows actually does better...

Thanks I just submitted this feedback on that link: "I simply can't fathom why Apple keeps eliminating the most helpful user friendly features in every update. Why do I even keep updating? Nothing good was added in Big Sur. I keep encountering problems with how everything is working. And today I discovered that one of the most beloved features is simply gone. Please put back the multi option snooze feature that was in MacOs prior to Big Sur."

Thanks for sending that in. Actually, there is one good thing about Big Sur. They "fixed" a feature of the Mail program that they broke in Catalina: the one click column sorting. What they did in Catalina made that whole process more cumbersome. But by "fix", I mean sorta got it back to where it was but not quite...

It blows my mind that apple engineers would remove this feature. My alerts are now making me crazy. I can't say "remind me in 2 hours," or "in a day" or "5 minutes before start" on my laptop. If anything, you would THINK they would ADD the feature to their iPhone OS and not take it out of the laptop/desktop OS. This is almost the final straw with apple to me.

I'm so tired of apple making my laptop behave more like a phone. I don't want it to operate like a phone. It's a computer.

This is worse than when they took away the magnetic charger. I mean, first you promote how intelligent that is for years - no risk of pulling your hardware off a desk if someone gets tangled in a cord - and then you make your product as dumb as everyone else's.

And it's almost as bad as when they took all the USB ports and other ports off the laptops as well. Now I have to have adapters and port hubs and all sorts of things attached to my laptop so that I can work. "Mobile" is not how I describe my MacBook Air any longer.

Dear apple, you are making your products annoying and difficult to use. Please reverse course.

This is a HUGE inconvenience and is forcing me to look at other calendar options. I've already missed a few key reminders because of this nonsense. Why would they screw around with something so simple?

It's like Apple is daring me to switch back to Windows after years of being a Mac loyalist. Every update makes me look at Windows (and Android for my phone, for that matter) much more seriously.

Please STOP making your product worse every year.

Exactly this! It's ridiculous. I wonder why they do things like that, it's so frustrating. I wish I hadn't updated from Catalina to Big Sur for this reason alone. There is nothing useful in Big Sur for me, just slightly worse design and then this huge problem that affects me several times a day! I often have a reminder one day before an event. Now, instead of being able to say "remind me again in 2 hours" or "1 hour before the event", I have to click on it the entire day every few minutes. How is that useful??

Wow, that looks promising! I definitely don't have that, tried multiple times. I now think this must be a new feature in the latest update. I am on Big Sur 11.1 and I am installing 11.2 now and will report back later whether it works after the update. Even if this is a bit more cumbersome than before, I'll take it over not having these options at all. Thanks a lot for the screenshot!

Like a few other users, doing this doesn't give me snooze time options, so not sure how you are getting these. It gives my 'options' yes, but not the option to choose snooze times. Are you definitely using Big Sur (OS X 11)?

Yes. Do send Apple feedback. But I am sure it's not just a matter of flipping a switch to get this feature back. You won't see it in the next Big Sur, even if they decide to do it. A lot of "thought" went into this "improvement", and it will have to be undone. You won't see that until the next OS, whatever they're going to call it. A full OS development cycle. That's how long it took them to undo the last "upgrade" I complained about in the Mail program.

If we are really enough to complain, it could be added in a Big Sur update (fingers crossed 🤞🤞), like they did with some features in the past... But in the worst case, I hope the next OS will bring it back...

And besides, I can’t think they did it intentionnally... I see it more as a side effect related to the new notifications behaviour in Big Sur...

Totally agree to all of your posts...

Same here, this situation is unbearable and to be honest it's kind of ridiculous keeping in mind that we all are running a product provided by one of the most visionary and innovative technology leader of the 21st century.

Apple, please listen to your customers and the community... Take it up and fix it!

Thx!

Indeed. Even just explaining it that way gives me headache... I couldn't fathom setting up multiple alerts for a single iCal event. I agree its a work around maybe for the most important alerts and a good solution... but again... this comes back to just how dumbfounded I am Apple could have missed this in Big Sir. Also, dumbfounded just by how something so simple we all have used... is now effectively missing... and causing an actual real daily problem to mainging time. Its so strange in a way! Who would have thought. After using the features of snooze and choosing your times to manage yourself and how the alerts work... its such a small, abeit importnt part of my day. And now I'm just super frustrated it isn't working! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL
