after upgrading to ios7 on my iphone 4s the location based reminders don't work if the reminder-app is not open in multitasking.
on ios6 the location based reminders work fine even if the reminders-app is not open and not in background.
is this a bug? the background update option for reminders is activated in the options.
any ideas?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7
Do you have the address for Work in your Contacts?
Hi,
"The Reminders switch under Settings > General > Background App Refresh set to ON" : on my iPhone 5 / iOS 7.1, "Reminders" app do not appear in the list of app in "Background App refresh". So I turn the general switch ON, but I can not turn the Reminders switch. Any idea why it does not appear ?
Thanks for your help !
Hi,
The Reminders app is not subject to Background App Refresh settings in iOS 7.1.
For that reason:
- It is not listed in the Settings > General > Background App Refresh screen.
- Location-based reminders are expected to trigger regardless of the state of the Background App Refresh switch at the top of that screen.
Thank you Ben812 - I have been going out of my mind to get this fixed and this worked. I am so excited to finally get to use this feature.
location based reminders don't work in ios7 ?
