Q: Location based reminders no longer available

I recently upgraded to iOS 9.3.2. It seems I can no longer create reminders based on location on my iPad.

it is the little feature losses like this that really bug me!  Is this a known issue or just a quirk with my iPad (an older model)

 

Any and all guidance welcome!

iPad, iOS 9.3.2

    Hi CarolinaGirl88,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I'm happy to provide you with some information to find out more about using location Reminders on your iPad.

     

    To start, check out this article that shows some more details about Reminders. About a third of the way down is "Choose where you want to be reminded":

    Use Reminders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

     

    In there, it shows the compatibility for this feature. Make sure your iPad falls into this compatibility before continuing:

    Location based reminders are available in iOS 8 or later on iPhone 4 and later, iPad Pro (Wi-Fi + Cellular), iPad (4th generation Wi-Fi + Cellular), iPad Air and later (Wi-Fi + Cellular), iPad mini 4 (Wi-Fi + Cellular), and iPod touch (6th generation).

     

    If your iPad is compatible, then head to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, and make sure that it is turned on overall, and specifically for Siri. You can see more about Location Services here:

    About privacy and Location Services

     

    Good luck, and I hope you have a great day!
