How to remove reminders linked to Calendar?

I have upgraded to ios18 and iPad 18 and now my repeating reminders are in my calendar

I do not want this I want reminders and calendar to be totally separate as they were in ios17

I cannot see any way of doing this except to use google calendar app

If you open the calendar app, at the bottom of the screen you’ll see the word calendars. If you tap that, all the calendars you’ve created or subscribed to will show up. One of those will say “reminders”. If you click to turn that one off, the reminders will go away.

I only have the upgrade loaded on my iPhone and I don't know what you mean by sidebar. Maybe only the iPad has a sidebar.

There is no Sidebar on an iPhone. There have been instructions in this thread for Macs and iPads as well.


Tap on the "Calendars" tab at the bottom of the screen. Scroll down until you see "Scheduled Reminders." Untick it.

I have tried turning off reminders in calendar by following the many posts in this thread. When I hit the Calendars button, the only option I have is "Show Completed Reminders" -- on or off. There is no way that I can see to turn off showing uncompleted reminders. Anybody know a way to turn off all reminders in the calendar app? BTW I have the non-beta, full 18.0 release if that makes a difference.

Figured it out….Open the Mac Calendar…Under the “View" dialog box, select “Show Calendar Events”. On the left window, deselect the reminders box. This will eliminate the reminders from your calendar. Under the “View" dialog box select “Hide Calendar List” to close the side window. Easy fix.
