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

I am having the same problem with iso10.2 and macOS 10.12.2.

I am wondering if this is a multiple device issue. I am logged into a iPhone, iMac and MacBookPro and only one device is getting the notifications (normally the one I am not looking at).

It is happening with Reminder and Calendar notification as well.

Right now the only fix is using alarms instead.

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.)

Having the same issue - I get nothing to remind me that a reminder was even set. I can no longer rely on Reminders to make sure I don't forget something important. As a result, this feature is absolutely useless after iOS 10. C'mon Apple, fix this.

I don't have outlook on my phone, and I'm not getting notifications either

I second that this is also happening with 12.2.2 in addition to 10.2.

It is intermittent and so far I can't find a pattern.

Same problem... iPhone SE iOS 10.2.

I don't get any reminder notifications at all, I can't share reminder group to anyone and nobody can share reminders with me! :-(

Same problem. Can't rely on reminders at all as a result. Very important for Apple to fix quickly, please! User-reported fixes to date are not working for me. I'm on iOS 10.2 and iPhone 6.

I am having the same issue!!! Entered the reminders in and wanted them to go off once I arrived at work. As soon as I set a locstion or even time the reminder turns itself off.

Agreed. Having the same issue.

Has anyone thoroughly tested iOS 10.3 or 10.3.1 and can tell us FOR SURE that reminders have been fixed?

If so, please share your experience.

Apr 13, 2017 10:36 AM in response to venturiand

A previous member said that he tested within 48hours with hourly reminders and saw that the problem is NOT fixed.

Can you please tell us on what basis do you say that the problem is fixed?

Well, I have done the update and now, since a few days, I receive the notifications. Nothing more than that. But I can tell you how long it will last.

This is an "Awesome Calendar" app, literally.

They have both a free and a paid version.

Handoff was the first or second thing I turned off months ago. Did not fix the issue for me. There is no solution, no rhyme or reason for this bug. Every "fix" is a temporary crap shoot.
