iPad Mini 5 stuck on 'allow alarms' screen after update

iPad Mini 5

Recently updated to latest iOS and now when I open when get this screen telling me to go to iPhone to allow alarms and I cannot get rid of it. I tried scrolling (won't) because I figured there would be a button to click, I tried clicking all over (in desperation) I even force quite the app but when I open it, it's still there. Don't have my iPhone right now and I need to use reminders.

Seems like bug to not allow me to move on into reminders because it wants me to do something new with alarms?!?

iPad Pro (M5, 2025)

I forgot the image. It's solved now, kept searching and found out that it's because I use large font size (old eyes) and the button to close this was down below but for some reason it did not allow scrolling. Once I made the fint really small then the whole thing was on screen with a continue or close or something like that (already forgot).

Your difficulty is unclear.

Consider posting a screenshot of precisely what you see (redacted if necessary, using markup tools, to obscure any personal or sensitive information). You can upload your screenshot using the image button located at the bottom of the message editing window:
