Siri will NOT create reminder using location

The exact same thing is happening to me.

I had the same issue. I do not use icloud. I heard some people say turn on icloud, and reminders will start working. I also heard that, if using exchange as your mail, to make sure that reminders is turned on in the exchange settings, which mine is. I was able to resolve the issue by going into the Reminders app, press the top left hand icon which will bring you into the Lists section. Click on Edit, and Select "Create New List...", and type in "Reminders" with a capital R, and select done. Now go into Siri and setup a reminder. Hope this helps.It worked for me.

I had the same issue and error message with Siri. After some tinkering, here is how I had to have a few settings in order to use "location" for Reminders.

ICloud-Reminders ON

Mail, Contacts, Calendars...Reminders...Default List... set to iCloud Reminders (Not Exchange Tasks nor Exchange Tasks)

You can verify that Siri can use Location by manually creating a Reminder in the Reminder App and then click on Remind Me... and you should see "At a Location" as well as "On a Day."

Based on this, it appears that Location Based Reminders can only be used/saved in the cloud in order for "it" to tell the phone where you are, and the trigger a reminder.

to update my previous post on 10/18 @11:24am, It would set a reminder, but wouldn't do it location based. I also had to change a setting in exchange, by going to Settings/Mail,Contacts, Calendars/Exchange, and turn off reminders. It was trying to add the reminders to the exchange account, which doesn't work location based. With iCloud reminders turned on, now Siri can set reminders via location based. Hope this helps.

That did it for me! Thank you!

If you turn off Exchange reminders, does that disable the notifications that are in Exchange calendars alerting you to upcoming meetings?

I also had the issue that Siri (when it works, which is occasionally at best) would create a reminder but not send me a message or "remind" me. It just created a to do list.

What am I missing?

For me and my setup, Reminders go to iCloud and Calendar entries go to my Exchange calendar. As long as you say "Create Reminder..." or "Make Calendar entry for..." Siri should put it in the right place.

What about Exchange/Outlook tasks?

Dont worry, Siri is still the beta version. I am pretty sure Apple is gonna fix it.

Has anybody else had problems searching for things in the UK? Mine just says that it can only search USA companies or using American English... For example if I asked it for a number for a pizza place - it just says it is "unable to search UK companies - sorry" - Am I missing a simple setting or something?

Thanks - Adam

but if you put the voice n USA it does a few more things.
