not getting reminder notifications with ios10

I wanna thank you for posting this. Been waiting to see if 10.3.2 fixed things so I can buy my iPhone again. Seems like Apple isn't interested in the details anymore. Just profit.

I also tried everything before selling it.

Even a 2 hour chat session with Apple support mechanics. No outcome. Just "we are now aware of the problem and are working on a fix."

That was back in 10.2

Sold iPhone, got a high end android and I dare to say that there are many things that our beloved Apple could learn from them...

Anyway thanks for your feedback.

Maybe you should wait until Google assistant comes to iOS like they announced yesterday.

Maybe you can use Google calendar with the assistant and set reminders and events vocally.

Do post here again if you have any news.

Well, back when, I figured maybe since I set up these calendar alerts years/versions ago that deleting and recreating them in (at the time) 10.3 might fix the issue. And it seemed like it did, for a while. But now, even those are not throwing off alerts - and again, ONLY ON MY IPHONE. They pop up fine on my iPad Mini 2 and both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.

The last idea I had was to disable Handoff on the iDevices, figuring maybe one device was getting confused if the alert popped up on the other one. That doesn't seem to work either. Just this morning, I should've heard/seen a calendar alert 9am this morning to remind me to pay a certain bill (repeats monthly, recreated a couple months back). Nothing on my iPhone, no sound, no lock screen prompt, nothing in Notification Center. Not home, so I can't check my other devices yet...but I'll bet they all show the alert just fine.

MADDENING.

******Please notify Apple via support.

The more users that report the issue the more chances they will wake up.

I tried another solution. I turned off notifications for calendar and reminders and purchased an app called Fantastical which takes over the native calendar and reminders app. It has notifications of its own and reminders set via Siri are enlisted within the app.

I have tested it 2 days now and noticed that when I am using the phone (browsing,messaging etc) the reminders again don't work.

When the phone is resting, the reminders worked.

I set about 30 reminders in 2 days.

2-3 didn't notify me and I was using the device at the time, although to be honest I think that was just a big coincidence due to the fact that I use the phone A LOT.

My personal conclusion is that the problem still stands and that my favorite Apple is starting to NOT be my favorite at all anymore. ANDROID seems to care more for details nowadays. Not to mention Apple should be lucky to have apps like YouTube and Google Maps and Chrome where as Apple doesn't even share iMessage.

Is this the start of the end of the Apple era? I wonder...

I got here via Google search. I have the same problem. iPhone 7. IOS 10.3.2. Not running Outlook.

About half the time I don't get a notification on my phone of a daily activity (it's the only reminder I have set for every day). This has been going on for quite a while. Months? Maybe since IOS 10?

Rebooting the phone usually causes the reminder to pop up after restart. But after a few days I stop getting them again.

I guess writing functional software is just too hard if you're spending all your time worrying about what happens to the world if the USA withdraws from the Paris climate agreement.

Also having this issue. I had it last year for a while as well, and it seemed to fix itself. But I've noticed over the last few weeks that I'm missing reminders most of the time on my iPhone (some do show up, no rhyme or reason, but most don't). They always seem to show up on my Mac that's signed into the same account. I'm running 10.3.2 on an iPhone 7+. "Maddening" is the best word to describe it.

I've switched from iOS to Android on a number of occasions and am now with iOS again, have been since the beginning of 2017.

However, I've been using Google Calendar as it was "easy" to simply link everything to my previous Android Google Set Up and seemed to work for a while..but, I started to notice that my Google Calendar reminders and event alerts stopped working.

I did find a "fix" but it only worked for about 10 days, so my initial excitement over this was very short lived, because, lo and behold, once again, the alerts/reminders have stopped appearing and I can't repeat the initial "fix!" 😠 😉

I'd be tempted to revert to Android, although the new type USB C connectors mean that the device(s) are not recognized by my Car Stereo for syncing audio.

I could put up with the clunky iTunes-Android solutions, but I prefer to have control of my playlists from the Head Unit and the sound quality through an Aux Input is decidedly lower in quality than through USB/Lightning connections.

As for trying a new Calendar App and starting from scratch, I worry that I'd fork out £9.99, the price for one I've seen, only to have the problem recur in a few weeks 😉

If anyone has found a permanent solution to the Google Calendar notifications/reminders issue, I'd be very grateful to hear it..thanks!

This happened to me also. I tried so many ways to fix it but after chatting with apple support I finally found a solution. My alerts were going to my computer instead of my phone so go to Settings>General>Handoff. If it is turned on, turn it off. Now my alerts for my reminders work on my phone again. Good luck!

Weirdly.

Someone's advice to make sure that Notifications were set to "Alert" rather than "Banner," has again "fixed" the problem..and all of my alerts have started coming through again 🙂

Let's hope that the advent of iOS 11 doesn't bring with it a whole host of problems 😉

I fear you are correct Rob.

My changing notifications to "Alerts" rather than "Banners" lasted for a very short time and this week's notifications have not come through..

This is very frustrating as I rely on regular reminders for various repeated tasks! 😠

I'm beginning to wonder why I paid for such an expensive piece of equipment if I can get the service I need by buying a dirt cheap Moto E4+ for less than £150, which would get the job done and I could do so many things with the money I made if I were to sell the 6s+ 😉

Maybe iOS 11 will have an "answer," but I'm not holding my breath!

I held the lock & home button down until the apple logo appeared over the black screen. I was about 10 seconds. This fixed the problem. I've had to do again today, and did the same thing a couple of months ago. I've missed several important meeting before I realized what was going on.

I would like to add to this. There have been several posts about Reminders not working with IOS 10, and while many of the questions show as "solved", it's clear that the issues have not been solved. Since updating my iphone 6 to IOS 10, and then to 10.0.2, reminders will not show up on my lockscreen. I too have now missed several important reminders. The solved answers direct users to toggle the options for interacting with the lockscreen. Here is one of the answers that has been posted:

In iOS 10, you can interact with notifications on the Lock screen to catch up on news, respond to messages, and more without unlocking your device.

Here are some ways you can view and interact with notifications from the Lock screen:

To view your lock screen, press the Home button or Sleep/Wake button. If you have an iPhone 6s or later, lift your device to see the Lock screen.

To respond to a notification, swipe left over it, then tap respond. If you have an iPhone 6s or later, use can use 3D Touch. Just press deeply on the notification, then respond.

To open the app to respond, swipe right over the notification.

To be clear, this does not fix the issue. Previously I was able to set up Notifications for reminders in the "notifications" portion of Settings. Now it doesn't even show up there (in other words, the reminders app is not listed as an app in Notifications). Reminders now do not alert me AT ALL. There is no alarm, no notice, no pop up screen on the lockscreen, no notification in the form of a banner while i'm using the phone. Nothing. I have to literally go to the Reminders app either on the lockscreen, or open the app, to see that i've missed my appointments. The issue is both with scheduled reminders (time/day) and location reminders.

I had this issue too, which occured after I updated and backed up the phone.

I did a hard reset.

If you don't know how to do a hard reset, press the lock & home buttons at the same time and hold. The phone will shut off. Let it sit for about a minute, then power on. This worked for me.

no need for me to rehash the symptoms, the descriptions within this post is exactly the problem I'm having. I am able to temporarily fix the problem (restore the audible reminder + visible Alert notification that remains until I clear it) with a restart. When will Apple release an update that completely & permanently solves this ongoing issue?

Intermittently, I have been able to temporarily fix the problem (restore the audible reminder + visible Alert notification that remains visible until I clear it) with a restart. Intermittently. As in, it doesn't always fix with a restart. Yet as it starts up, it (not so) helpfully sounds the unique audio I have set up for notifications that I've missed, but still doesn't give me a visible Alert to clear.

I have also adjusted the !!! priority on reminders to see if that fixes it (I've read other threads indicating that may fix it. It does not, for me)

It bears mentioning that I do have the Prefs for Notifications setup properly.

BTW, doing a hard reset is not an option. I really don't need to be spending my time reconfiguring my phone after the reset.

When will Apple release an update that completely & permanently solves this ongoing issue? Until then, they should call it as it is: Reminders will not work after ios 10 upgrade.

Please Help.
