I created a shared family list within Reminders. I cannot see anything my husband adds but he sees my updates. What am I doing wrong?

There could be a few reasons why this is happening. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:


1. Check iCloud Settings: Make sure both of you are signed into iCloud and have Reminders turned on in your iCloud settings.


- Go to "Settings"

- Tap [your name] at the top, then "iCloud"

- Make sure the switch for "Reminders" is in the 'on' (green) position


2. Update Devices: Ensure both devices are updated to the latest version of iOS. Outdated software can sometimes cause syncing issues.


3. Check List Sharing: Make sure the list is properly shared.


- Open the Reminders app

- Go to the shared list, tap the three dots in a circle icon, then "Show List Info"

- Check to see if your husband's Apple ID is listed under shared with. If not, share the list with him again.


4. Check Network: Ensure both devices have a good Wi-Fi or cellular connection, as iCloud sync requires internet.
