Alarm every other week on the same day?

My recycling has to go out every other Friday. How do I set an alarm to ring to wake me on recycling day?

Hi Flowerloverly,

Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.

It looks like you want to set an alarm for putting your recycling out every other week. You can set a repeating alarm using Reminders:

Use Reminders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Add a reminder

  1. From your Home screen, open Reminders.
  2. Tap User uploaded file to add a new reminder.
  3. Enter your reminder. Tap User uploaded file to add any additional details like a time or a location to be reminded.
  4. When you're finished, tap Done.

For your specific purpose you can add these additional details to the reminder:

  • Turn on "Remind me on a day."
  • Set Alarm to the next date when you'll put out your recycling.
  • Set Repeat to "Every 2 Weeks."
This will create a repeating reminder for you.

Cheers!
