Q: Reminders Don't Show or Stick to Lock Screen in iOS10

In iOS10 (and 10.0.1 and 10.0.2), on an iPhone (I'm using an iPhone 6), the Reminders are no longer reliable. I have had several instances where the reminder doesn't even show on the lock screen, and many more times when the reminder doesn't "stick" to the lock screen for more than a short period. Before iOS10, when you said to remind you at a certain time or place, the reminder would show on the lock screen reliably until it was marked as "completed."

 

This is a major issue for people that rely on the app for important tasks and timing. There is a whole discussion thread on this that for some reason has been marked as "solved" even though a large number of people continue posting in it saying it's a problem for them too (that thread can be found here). I wanted to start this new discussion that will hopefully stay open until it is actually solved.

iOS 10.0.2

    I see, that makes sense. Just did some more testing, created a new "Reminders" list,  and it looks like it's working the same as just adding the reminder without putting it in a list. Specifically, if I swipe right on the reminder to open it, then it stops sticking to the lock screen. Any other past-due reminders stay on the lock screen until I swipe right on them or mark them complete. So I guess a workaround is to not swipe the reminder, just press home to unlock. It's frustrating if I forget though, have to then remember to reset the reminder for a future time. Still needs to be fixed in the next update.

    I see what you mean. And it turns out this is less of a solution, more of a workaround. It still unsticks from the lock screen if I swipe right on the reminder to unlock the phone, but keeps any other past-due reminders on the lock screen until I mark them complete or swipe right on them. It's like swiping the reminder marks it as "read" but not complete.

    Sorry for all the duplicate posts... I didn't see my post after replying and kept trying again, only to finally realize they were on Page 2 of the discussion thread.
