Hello everyone, 🙂
I've shared my app "Reminder" with my girlfriend.. and everytime I'm adding a reminder to any lists, she's notified with an email.
As I'm using it mainly for groceries.. she's indeed receiving a lot of emails !! And that's useless to us. 😕
How can I desactivate the notification mail from the "Reminders" app on my iPhone or somewhere else ?
Thanks for your answers. 😉
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4
I'm not sure if it will shut off the notifications from a shared reminder list or not but try going to icloud.com from your computer, click on your name at the top, click Notifications, then set Reminders to Off.
Thanks for your answer Randers but it was already set to "off" and still.. She's receiving notification emails !!
I don't know how to get rid of it...
I'm not surprised it didn't work. I'm not sure it's even possible to sto them with a shared list. I suppose you could set up an email rule on iCloud.com to send them to the trash or a folder so they wouldn't clutter your inbox.
what is the email address she gets those from, icloud.com or say google.com?
@Randers : Thanks for the tip.. It might be a good solution to filter my inbox with the sender's address ;-)
@Fromsouth : The email address is : noreply@insideicloud.icloud.com... Very weird but still coming from iCloud.
I found this on another thread:
If you then want to turn Calendar notifications back on you can go back in and turn that back on.
Thanks for your answer Kritini but the only thing that turning off the Reminders notifications do is to not show me if something has changed in the application Reminders (no little red number in the corner of the icon of the app if me or my girlfriend add something to the list).
I think the notification section in the iCloud window is a very different thing compared to the notification mail and I really can't find how to turn off those emails.
Thanks anyway for trying to help me... Other advice ?
I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with apple support about this - I hadn't realized when I posted my update that it hadnt actually fixed my problem either. I'm being told that this is how it was designed to work, so I think our best option is to set up a filter on our mail clients to send those messages to the trash bin. 😟
You also didn't read posts, cause first answer provided same suggestion as you did. Knowing how knowledgeable Randers is, I suspect Apple support will not help you. However I do appreciate you coming down here, cause you pointed me to another thread with same problem, that was a glitch on the apple server. Very curious info.
That's what I did indeed as Randers suggested earlier.. I've just set a filter on the iCloud email address and it works just fine for me. ;-)
It's just very weird that the Apple server is sending those unuseful emails.
Thanks to everyone for helping me out anyway.
I'm concerned that emails from noreply@insideicloud.icloud.com might be phishing emails. I've asked about in another thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5209980
I did read this web page about phishing emails that use icloud.com as their return address:
Ignore my last post. I just rang Apple and I was wrong about it.
I just called Apple about an email from noreply@insideicloud.icloud.com too, and they told me it was spam. Is that what you were told?
It doesn't look like spam as I can't see what information they would be harvesting as all links appear to be legit Apple links, but Apple support were adamant that iCloud insideicloud.icloud.com is not an Apple owned URL.

First smart statement. Good for you, you already one for one here. It is not spam, during transition from MobileMe, multiple people received storage transfers, sometimes with comps, cause Icloud didn't have nominations of MobileMe. That e-mail seems to conclude end of transition. There is no information to gain, that is NOT PHISHING. Even if you feel it is, there is no need to call apple, they have address for forwarding those. Overdoing and everything else is politely called "a tad bit paranoid", which means .....
Here is address for report :
Here is the article
Another support call to Apple draws a line under the issue. I have two iCloud accounts, once of which used to be a MobileMe account. I stopped using the MobileMe account when I signed up to iCloud (for a good reason which I don't remember and now regret). I set up an auto forward to my new iCloud account from the old, and hence the message got forwarded.
In essence, I have two iCloud accounts, they can't be merged (that old chestnut), and the one eligible for free storage is the one I don't use any more.
hopefully this is the last rumble from MobileMe.
How to stop notification mails coming from the "Reminders" app when it is shared ?
