Reminders disappeared with update to iOS 15.1

I saw a similar problem reported with the upgrade to iOS 15 but it happened to me with the update to 15.1


All my reminders disappeared. I have the phone set to sync to iCloud but all the reminders are gone from there also.


Anything else to possibly do (except remember that "sync" is not "backup."

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Hi there SLSOK,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. We understand you need help with restoring your missing reminders, and we'd be happy to help.


To start, take a look at the steps listed in the following resource under the "Restore your calendars from an earlier version" section that should be able to help: If you accidentally deleted your calendars, bookmarks, or contacts from iCloud - Apple Support


Step 3 in the resource above should lead you to the "Restore Calendars and Reminders" option.


If still missing reminders after the steps above, then we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Get Support - Apple


We hope that's able to help.


Take care!

SLSOK,


Thanks for taking a look at those previous steps, and it does appear that you should be in the correct place per the previous steps provided.


Since you're not seeing an option to restore Reminders, at this point the next best option would be to reach out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Get Support - Apple


From that link choose Music, Apps & Services > iCloud > Contacts, Calendar & Reminders > Troubleshooting iCloud Reminders. From there you should see a few options to reach out, depending on your location.


Have a great day.

Thanks. However, there is NO option to "restore calendars and reminders." Just Calendar, Contacts Files, Bookmarks.


There is no "reminders" on that page. Here are screen shots of what I see from the Advanced link.


Nothing at all about Reminders.


Note: on the phone, under Settings > Apple ID > iCloud, "Reminders" is toggled ON to sync with iCloud.


I did restore my calendar to the day before the reminders disappeared. That worked but no return of the Reminders.


Am I in the right place?
