Location based reminders not working
When I create a new reminder, the location symbol is greyed out. Location services are on and enabled "while using" for the app.

Thanks a lot for your message. Unfortunately, I still can't make it work. I am attaching a screenshot of what I see when composing a reminder. Anything but the date symbol is grayed out.
Location services are on.
What could I be missing?

Thanks for the reply, Bernd5364.
If you tap on the calendar icon, are you able to set the date/time and then use the other features available to create notes for this reminder?
We're also curious if you're able to change the list for this reminder, then attempt to make notes for it next.
If you still cannot make notes, Contact Apple Support directly for additional help.
All the best.
Thanks for the suggestion with the lists. There are two categories of lists, one I don't know where it is coming from, maybe a desktop that rarely runs, and the other called "iCloud". Reminders in lists under the latter category work fine, location services and all other symbols are present.
Thank you so much!
Hi Bernd5364,
Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.
We understand that your location-based reminder is not working. Make sure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS: Update iOS on iPhone
Once updated, follow the steps here: Use Reminders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
That should help.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Take care.
Bernd5364,
No problem. These are available with upgraded reminders. Check out the following guide to lean how to add items to a list:
Add items to a list in Reminders on iPhone
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
