My Reminders App is does not appear in Settings under Location Services and thus does not offer reminders when I arrive or leave a location. Shouldn't Reminders have automatically appeared as an app under location services when I activated the phone? Any solution on how to get it to show up so I can turn on location services for Reminders and thus get the app working correctly?
Solution still working 6 years later - thank you!
Thanks. I have the problem too but I am hesitant to turn off my reminders for my Exchange account. Can you tell me what the impacts of this step are? Will a stop receiving reminders of tasks and Calendar appointments entered into my Exchange account which is my main organizational tool?
It won't show up under Location Services. It is enabled within the Reminders app. Once you make a new reminder, tap it and then select Remind Me. From there you should see choices for On a Date and At a Location. To work properly obviously you must have Location Services on and probably Maps too.
Thank you, but that is incorrect. When I create a new reminder and tap Remind me the only option is "On a Date". There is not an "At Location" option. I also know that Reminders should appear in location services when working properly because it does on my husband's phone. We both have iPhone 4s. Works on his, not on mine.
I have the same issue
i'm having the same problem! did you ever get it figured out? i'm so annoyed by this!!!
As a matter of fact I did fix this. My problem was due to an email account I use on an Exchange server. I went to Settings, Mail, My Exchange Account and turned Reminders OFF on the Exchange Account and everything started working correctly with the app. Hope this helps you.
Yay!!! That worked!!! I'm so happy! Thanks!!!
Very nice. I had this exact same problem and your solution solved it immediately. Thanks very much. This undocumented shibe from Apple is unbelievable.
Another way to fix this without disabling Exchange reminders is to change the iPhone default calendar to a calendar other than the Exchange calendar. E.g. your iCloud calendar.
This also allows you to use location-based Reminders again, because new Reminders get created in the iCloud calendar instead of the Exchange calendar.
This does however mean that any new Calendar item (meeting etc.) created on the phone will by default be created in the iCloud calendar too unless you manually pick your Exchange calendar when creating a new Calendar item.
Some may find this annoying and prefer to stick to the simple solution of switching off Reminders. Note that this still means that all new reminders will be created locally on the iphone, or on icloud if you have an icloud account set up. Reminders will never show up for example in MS Outlook any more. The way around this would be to install Apple's iCloud application on your desktop and choose to display iCloud reminders in Outlook. This way you would then see your iCloud reminders from your iPhone in Outlook again! Phew.. what a workaround 🙂
Nice one Mom.
Thank you! 🙂
