Calendar notification snooze in Big Sur?

Yes, this is really disruptive. I would love love love apple to give us the snooze options back. The pop-up blocks part of my screen every 5 minutes or so! Plus, it dominates whatever I "was" typing. Please fix it.

Yes I agree- I really appreciate this feature being added back, but I would still like it to be back to the options that were there previously. I think it would be great to have a longer duration of time. I have different events and sometimes it is nice to be able to snooze them for longer periods of time. However, I am happy that it is longer than 5 minutes now. Thank you!

I can't believe we still have some developers utopian version of what he feels is a reasonable snooze time. I have fixed appointments that the built-in snooze is fine for, but then I have flex appointments ALL THE TIME that I want to snooze for an hour or a day or a week.

Despite what the dev team thinks, why would you even take this away? What did you save by doing so? Did it save precious bandwidth? No. Did it save confusion? No. Did it force MANY users to have to figure out a new way to manage their calendar because of your limited view of how the world works? Yes.

Put back snooze for 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day and 1 week. Just do it already.

With each new release of MacOS it becomes harder and harder to justify upgrading. Sure, you get some new cool toys to play with but they inevitably break something that you need or like. And this one was just ridiculous and makes zero sense whatsoever for why it was removed.

Apple is starting to act more like Microsoft and just willy-nilly does stuff and doesn't give a single crap about what the users think or want, just what the developers think they need and want.

And yes, I posted on the feedback site, not that anyone will actually read or do anything with the request. Again, Microsoft.

Still broken. Still a pain. The snooze option needs to have more options like "tomorrow," 2 days, 3 days, one week. This should be so simple to fix. It's been almost a year now. There are SO many little pains like this in MacOS an IOS. Apple king of the UI? Maybe not anymore.

Broken again. Who at Apple thinks the limited snooze options for calendar items are acceptable? This is not an alarm clock -- this is a calendar management tool. Do they not live/work in the real world? As of 11.6, this is unacceptable. Again. Please fix. Again.

It is absolutely unbelievable how ignorant and far removed from any usability Apple behaves here. Even after the upgrade to 11.6, nothing has changed. For people who WORK with Apple computers and don't just want to surf the net and play games, this is an absolute disaster! You didn't have to do anything, just let everything be the way it was. But under no circumstances should you have made things worse.

On top of that, the whole snooze function is badly built. When you move the mouse over a reminder, the option for Snooze is sometimes displayed, sometimes you have to move the mouse away and move it over again. A real patchwork! I've been using Apple computers for 30 years and this degradation beats everything!

If anyone knows a workaround or solution, please post!

This is one of those small annoyances that prevent me from switching to Big Sur. There's always an option to use a different calendar app I guess but this feature has always "just worked" in the past so it's really frustrating that it's being intentionally removed for no apparent reason.

Applsolute foolery once again on behalf of bored staff at Apple that need something to do - just leave it alone.

If it's NOT broken DON'T fix it! Spend some time fixing actual issues and making improvements not circling around the same pool attacking your tail.

Apple the bigger it gets the worse it gets (when it comes to software) - read this and weep bored engineers I'm sure you have plenty of spare time

I have a different opinion than Apple about how long my Snooze options should be. Why won't Apple provide a Calendar Preference that allows me to set the various Snooze options, like 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day, etc? I don't like being limited to their idea of what Snooze durations we should have.

I think that is exactly how we would all like it to be. I seriously wonder if the people at Apple themselves don't get annoyed about what the development department is putting together. Or maybe they use Outlook as a calendar...?? :-\

Apple is always doing this type of thing. They over simplify things and break people's workflow. I'm constantly left deliberating switching platforms because of these types of issues.

This needs to be fixed. Also in the mail program, EVERY time you change mailboxes you have to scroll through ALL of your emails to get back to where you were. FIX THESE THINGS.

Everyone:

Please BOMBARD Apple with Feedback to get the Snooze timing options back!

STILL broken as of the latest update.

There is a more popular thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252039105

Apple needs to be publicly shamed into fixing this egregious bug.

I haven't gone through all of the replies to see if it's already been provided, but here's hyperlink to feedback page specifically for Calendar: https://www.apple.com/feedback/calendar.html
