Hi PaulMorariu,


I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact issue you are running into with setting up location-based Reminders. If you are having issues setting them up, you may find the following article helpful, in particular this portion:


Use location-based Reminders

To use location-based Reminders, you must turn on Location Services for Reminders. Location Services alert you when you leave or arrive at a specific location.

To turn on the settings for location-based Reminders, tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services and turn on Location Services and Reminders.

See these tips for location-based Reminders:

  • To set a location, you can use a saved contact location or manually enter an address.
  • You can adjust the size of the location alert radius for a reminder.
  • Use a specific street address, if possible.
  • A Location Services icon will remain in the status bar as long as you have at least one location-based Reminder not marked as complete.
  • Location-based Reminders are available on iPhone 4 and later, iPad (4th generation Wi-Fi + Cellular), and iPad mini (Wi-Fi + Cellular). Note: Location reminders aren't supported by Exchange accounts.
