Hello everyone. The following question arose: my wife and I decided to keep joint reminders around the house, each sending tasks to each other or to ourselves. But the calendar on iOS 18 displays all reminders, no matter who they are assigned to. Is it possible to make sure that the calendar does not display what is assigned to my wife?
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18
To unpack your question - you are asking about Reminders app entries visible in your Calendar app?
I am not clear about what you mean by 'assigning' reminders. The meaning I take from that is that while these are shared reminders they are labelled for action by one person, yet visible to both because they are in a shared List.
Reminders can be shared or kept to your own device. Your question tells me that you want some reminders shared and others kept to your own devices. Sharing is done by sharing a group of reminders called a List, and this is what you are doing in sharing with your wife.
For reminders you want on your device only, and not unnecessarily appearing on your wife's iPhone, you will need to create a new list and then populate that list with reminders. These will be active on your iPhone only - or to be more accurate devices signed into your iCloud account. A further step is required in order to share this new Reminders app List.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. It seems to be an all or nothing situation. It appears to ingest either all reminders with a date from all lists, or none at all. (My Calendar is now clogged up 854 of them). It really needs a Send to Calendar Yes / No option per reminder.

Tell Apple:
👍 I have done Idris. I did a detailed evaluation and analysis – you will probably recall how much we were looking forward to this in discussion six months ago! - but unfortunately I'm not allowed to share it here.
