Reminders app very glitchy

Recently when I open the reminders app on iphone, it often takes 30-60 seconds for the reminders to actually load…the screen is just blank until then. It also sometimes freezes when entering a new reminder or modifying an existing one, or simply checking one off. So far I have done the below and none of it has worked:


—Force quit the app then reopened

—Turned off iphone and restarted it

—Checked for software updates (already up to date)


Anyone have any ideas?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17

  1. If the issue persists, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. This will not erase your data but will reset all personalized settings to their default values. Go to Settings > General > Transfer & Reset > Reset > Reset All Settings and confirm the action. Note that you will need to reconfigure your settings afterward. All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, the Home screen layout, location settings, privacy settings, and Apple Pay cards—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.
    1. Reset All Settings: Return iPhone settings to their defaults - Apple Support:- Return iPhone settings to their defaults
    2. You can return settings to their defaults without erasing your content.
    3. If you want to save your settings, back up your iPhone before returning them to their defaults. For example, if you’re trying to solve a problem but returning settings to their defaults doesn’t help, you might want to restore your previous settings from a backup.
  2. Sometimes, a sync issue might cause delays or freezes in the app.
    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu.
    3. Select "iCloud."
    4. Turn off the toggle next to "Reminders" (this will remove the reminders from your phone temporarily).
    5. Wait for a few seconds, then turn the toggle back on to re-sync the reminders from iCloud.


If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to reach out to Apple Support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your device model and iOS version.
