not getting reminder notifications with ios10

I'm not getting reminder notifications with ios10, which is very frustrating! I've already missed some important work things because I don't get prompted. I looked under "Notifications" in settings, but Reminders is not an option.


When I'm on my macbook, I get them, so why aren't they showing up on my phone? This is a feature I use several times a day and not having it is VERY frustrating. I'm really hating ios10 so far.. don't even get me started on my battery life since the update. 😟

iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.2

no need for me to rehash the symptoms, the descriptions within this post is exactly the problem I'm having.


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.

I fixed it!

It turns out if you have installed the stand-alone Outlook app, it keeps Notifications from working.


I just deleted the Outlook app & it worked. No matter to me, I prefer the iOS Mail app for my O365/Exchange account.


I didn't test this as another option to fix, but if you're wedded to the Outlook app, I wonder if perhaps you turned off Reminders in your Exchange account if that would solve the problem (Settings/Reminders/Accounts/Exchange: slide Reminders to Off.)
