iPhone Reminders app refuses to show on lockscreen despite setting specific date and time

(i think this may be caused by some sort of update and im praying its a glitch that will be fixed). My reminders have worked flawlessly for years. I set everything to go off at 6am on whatever particular day I need to do the task, and then they show up on my lockscreen in a cascade dropdown and remain there until I complete the task. But all of a sudden, as of a few days ago, my reminders refuse to show on the lock screen at all anymore. I've tried everything. and the widget sucks, you can only see the first 3 words and 4 tasks, no option to expand from the lockscreen. im really frustrated as this is a huge focal point of how i operate in my life to stay on top of things and organized. I need reminders to show in the original drop down on my lock screen where I can fully see the task organized by chronological time and date. what is the point if i have to go and unlock my phone and look at the disorganized list on the app itself??? i might as well carry around a paper list as thats better than the current update. the apple reminders app is completely useless now. super sad and frustrated. tried alternative apps and do not offer this capability without payment.

Greetings ikcrane18,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.


It sounds like you had your Reminders notifications displayed in a "Stack", which should definitely still be possible. We would recommend that you work from the information in this article: Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. You'd just want to make sure that your notifications are set to display as a Stack in the Notifications pane of the Settings app. Once you've done that, you can also scroll down and find Reminders in the list of apps. You'll want to customize those notifications as well, just to make sure that everything is set up exactly as you want it to appear.


Thank you for being a part of the community here. We hope this information helps!


Best wishes.
