Sharing/collaborating with reminders only works 1 way!

I created a List in Reminders so my wife and I collaborate for the groceries and update the list as needed.

I shared it with her. Then, I started to add some line items.


But whatever I write in the list, she will not see on her phone. And whenever she adds/update something from her phone, it almost instantaneously appear on mine.


It seems to be working only 1 way?


She has an iphone 13, and I've got a 14. We are both on iOS 17.0.3.

We both have reminder synced with iCloud.


Can somebody help?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Hi ericprovencal,


If reminders are not syncing while collaborating, ensure you are using the correct Apple ID as sometimes the Apple ID can be different than an email you always use, and that everything else is set up correctly as seen in Share lists and collaborate in Reminders on iPhone.


If so, as it's not syncing correctly, follow If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync.


Another troubleshooting steps you can try is having your wife share a list to collaborate on and see if it works. This can help tell you if there is something with the first note or syncing from her side in general.


Take care.
