Trying to Turn Off Alarm Suggestion for Reminders

"I got this too. But then I went to the settings main screen and searched for 'suggestions'. There is a 'Show Suggestions' in Apps -> Reminders. But this appears to be suggestions while creating a reminder. Anyway, I turned it off, but when I closed and reopened the Reminders app, the same annoying message came up. I turned the same suggestions setting back on, also with no affect to the annoying message.[...]"

Provide Screenshot of This:

Have some screenshots? Providing one would most certainly help in this investigation.

"[...]I also do not want to have reminders create alarms. I use reminders in a very loose, informal, way and don't need (and don't want) alarms going off when they become due. In addition to offering "Not Now" and "Go to Settings", it should also offer 'Dismiss' or 'Don't display again'."

Recommend this to Apple:

Do your Part: Report this to Apple. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback Apple receives on this, the more they will know what is their customers prefer, and what and what features to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of your thoughts, if you don't provide them with them.

1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that you want this to be an option and why. Include the URL to this thread.
4. Proceed from there as necessary

Here's a screenshot of the message that started this thread...

And here's a screenshot when I go to Settings -> Apps -> Reminders...

And another of Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Reminders...

These were all taken on an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 26.2. I also sent in a bug report on this, as suggested.

“Trying to Turn Off Alarm Suggestion for Reminders: I’m trying to figure out how to avoid setting alarms for reminders, but turn off the notification that appears every time I open the Reminders app […]Has anyone been able to figure out how to turn this pop-up off?”

Toggle Off Items Through Settings App:

See if anything is listed here that you can toggle off…

1. Open: Settings app
2. Select: Security & Privacy
3. Tap: Reminders
4. Toggle Off: Show Suggestions

What I See:

“Interesting. That’s what I see too! I don’t have an option to Toggle Off Suggestions.”

Interesting.

So, provide a screenshot of this message you are seeing(something to the affect: “Alarms Access is Off… You won’t get alarms for reminders. To get alarms, go to Settings > Apps > Reminders and turn on Alarms.”)

👍🏾 Awesome job providing these screenshots.

Be certain you provide the URL of this thread. If not done, then re-report it, providing the URL. I would also suggest providing the URLs of your post and of each screenshot.

Same problem here with Reminders prompt for alarms that cannot be disabled. Maybe it stops after being told “not now” a programmed number of times?

I’m having the same freaking issue. So fed up with all the issues every time there’s an update.
