Shared list in Reminders - assign to contact not showing

dhava,

That's great! You're certainly welcome. We're glad you were able to sort it out. It sounds like you just needed to upgrade Reminders on your Mac to see all the available features for shared lists. Just in case you'd like to take a closer look, the links below provide information about upgraded Reminders:

Upgrading the Reminders app in iOS 13 or later

Cheers!

dhava,

We're sorry to hear your contact doesn't have a device compatible with upgraded Reminders. It sounds like you're asking if you can revert back to the previous version of Reminders so that you can use the shared Reminders feature again with this specific contact. We can clarify further.

"Upgraded reminders aren't compatible with earlier versions of iOS and macOS. If you upgrade your reminders on your iPhone with iOS 13 or later, your other devices — like your iPad and Mac — can’t access the reminders until you update your iPad to iPadOS or your Mac to macOS 10.15 Catalina." With that said, once you've upgraded Reminders, you can't revert back to the old Reminders app. Have a look at the support article we posted above entitled, 'Upgrading the Reminders app in iOS 13 or later' to learn more about how that works.

"Shared lists require that both the creator of the list and the people who can view it have upgraded their reminders." Keeping that in mind, your contact will need access to a device running iOS 13 or macOS Catalina or later in order to use upgraded Reminders. To take a closer look at which devices are compatible with upgraded Reminders, view the links below:

iOS 13 Supported iPhone Models

iOS 14 Supported iPhone Models

iPadOS 13 Supported iPad Models

iPadOS 14 Supported iPad Models

macOS Catalina is compatible with these computers

macOS Big Sur is compatible with these computers

Take care.

Hi there dhava,

From what we can tell, you're not seeing the option to assign a reminder to someone in a shared list. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some guidance. 

To start, we noticed the screenshot you posted is from your Mac and it's a new reminder. If you create the reminder first and give it a title, are you then able to assign it as expected? To do so on your Mac, follow the steps in the 'Assign a reminder' section of this link:

Assign shared reminders in Reminders on Mac

For more information about assigning reminders in a shared Reminders list on your iPhone, have a look at the 'Do even more with Reminders' section of this support article:

Use Reminders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

We hope this information is helpful. Try creating the reminder and giving it a title before attempting to assign it to someone, and let us know how it goes.

Cheers.
