iOS 18 reminders sound How can I have Reminders make a sound? It seems like this would be a no-brainer feature.

No notification sounds since iOS 11.7 Great inconvenience and embarrassment has resulted from my inability to get audible notifications on my iPhone. I get vibrations, but no sounds. This appears to be the case for all types of notifications turned on, but the most serious issue is no sounds for messaging (SMS and iMessage). Phone call rings and alarms work fine. Messages | Allow Notifications ON Messages | Critical Alerts ON Messages | Time Sensitive Notifications ON Messages | Alerts | Lock Screen, Notification Center, Banners. (Alerts display on the lock screen) Messages | Notification Grouping AUTOMATIC Messages | Sounds | Classic | Minuet (sounds when selected) Messages | Customize Messages | Repeat Alerts ONCE (also tried twice) Messages | Customize Messages | Unknown Senders ON Messages | Customize Messages | Emergency Contact Alerts ON All was well on my iPhone 13 until I installed iOS 11.7 after which notification sounds stopped, and the problem persists still at 18.1.1. I have tried every suggestion online, checking app notification settings, selected sounds (tried many) even to the point of resetting the phone to factory default and restoring data (what a mess that was to recover from!). One complication is that I have hearing aids and use the Smart 3D app to get all the sounds redirected to my hearing aids. However, uninstalling that app made no difference, nor does turning off the hearing aids that also puts sounds back on the phone speaker. And again, it's just notifications, not rings and other sounds. I am at my wits end. Note: My wife and I got our phones at the same time and have the same iOS version; hers works OK.

How to get Reminders to actually remind me? I have an iPhone 13 which automatically has the Reminders App on it. I want to use the app to remind me to do certain tasks with an actual sound or pop up notification. Such as to remind me to make a call in an hour. But I've spent 30 minutes trying to add reminders (set to 1 minute later, so I can immediately see if they worked) and my phone sits there without doing anything while the minute passes. All the settings seem ok for the app, but it still refuses to ACTUALLY REMIND me with a sound or pop up. I also Google'd and Youtube'd to try and handle this and every article and video seemed to go into more advanced features of the Reminders app without addressing this ultra basic request. Either A) I'm somehow missing some obvious setting, or B) this app is totally useless if it doesn't actual remind you to do something. Someone please let me know which it is. PS - Yes, I am aware that I can set alarms to remind me, which I will do if the Reminders app is incapable.
