I'd also probably use a reminder. It took me a while to decide when to use a calendar event versus a reminder versus a to do item. If there's something happening or going on, even if I'm not going to attend but do want to be aware of it, then I'll use the calendar. If there's something I need to do in conjunction with a reminder, like add salt to the water softener every three months then I'll create a to do list item. I use Microsoft To Do for this. This also lets me mark it as complete, so I know I did it. I'll use a reminder if I just need to jog my memory, but don't need to track somewhere that I completed it. Something like setting my grandfather clocks back or ahead one hour when the time changes might be an example of this. I don't tend to use very many reminders, and for all I know, the Reminder app in IOS has the ability to mark a reminder as complete.
For medication reminders, I've taken to using the Health app on the iPhone and the Medications app on the Apple Watch. It was a bit tedious to set up, since I couldn't download the prescription data from my provider, but once I got everything loaded, it's been pretty slick. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>รท Chaltain at Outlook, USA From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, October 21, 2022 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Question about calendar I would set up a recurring reminder. Open the Reminders app, tap on "New" at the bottom, give it a title/descrition and then tap on date/time and set the details. One of the options is to make is recurring and you can choose from options like daily, weekly, monthly etc. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> On Behalf Of Rena Sent: Friday, October 21, 2022 8:07 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Question about calendar Hello, If I want my phone to remind me to do something every Wednesday, Should I use calendar or reminder? In any case, what should I do? In one occasion I asked Siri to remind me something, but the phone never did it. However, the reminder appeared in my Windows pc. Would anyone please explain what to do to have the iPhone SE20 to remind me an event? Rena -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
