Q: Is anyone else experiencing reminders settings turning off on its own?
I was using siri earlier and asked her to remind me when I leave home to call my mom and she says "Before I can do that, you'll need to change your location services settings, In location services settings turn on both 'Location services and reminders" Here's the thing. The settings were already on, but my reminders keeps turning off by itself. I've done this over 5 times to make sure I'm not crazy. Both settings are turned on, I ask siri for the reminder then she gives me the same message stated above then when I go back to the reminders again its turned off. Is there a fix for this?
iPhone 5s, iOS 8

A HA!!! I figured it out!
Settings > Privacy > Location Services
Make sure Location Services is "On" and Reminders is set to "Always."
Now scroll to the bottom of the page...
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > SYSTEM SERVICES
Make sure LOCATION-BASED ALERTS is turned on.
Not sure why there is "System Settings" that seems to contradict the other settings, but mine worked immediately after I changed it.
