My 4 Favorite New Features in Reminders with iPadOS 16
Learn my favorite new features in Reminders, including how to view your Reminders grouped by day or time, pin your lists, create templates for lists, and the new Smart Folder options with iPadOS 16 and the Reminders app on your iPad.
Apple introduced a number of new features in Reminders with iPadOS 16. These features include the ability to pin your lists, save a list as a template and create new lists from templates, an improved view for scheduled and groups, as well as a smarter Smarter List for folders. See these new features in this video for what is new in iPadOS 16 on the iPad and the Reminders app.
Chapters:
- Introduction
- Group Reminders by Day
- Pin Lists
- Create Reminders Lists from Templates
- Smarter Smart Lists
- Conclusion
Let’s open up our Reminders app. The first thing we’re going to look at is how Apple groups different reminders together based on time, as an example, I’m looking at my scheduled lists here are as my scheduled reminders. These are all the reminders that I have scheduled. Well, now when we’re looking at this list here, what we can see is reminders that are past due, we can see reminders that are due today. And then if I swipe up, I can actually see in reminders that are due in the future and are grouped them together. It even goes as far as I should say, iPad os 16 goes as far as categorizing the day when I go over to today here, what I’m able to do is see what reminders are due in the morning, afternoon or tonight. And I can move these around. So let’s say I wanted to pick up hamburger. But it’s not going to be until tonight I have to do is just drag this down to tonight. And it places it in tonight. It also uses time. So if I play something at one o’clock in the afternoon, what it’ll do is it’ll put it into the afternoon. So now my do reminders are grouped by the time of day, in addition to
the date and time, what else is new, what we can now pin our lists. When we look at our lists down here, what we’re now able to do is move these lists up along with Apple’s lists here. When we do that, what we’re doing is we’re pinning that we’re pinning a list up into this area here. So how do we do that? Well, let’s go over to travel. I’m going on a trip in a week. So I’d like to pin this so I have easy access to it, all I have to do is just Ctrl Click on it or long press. If you have a keyboard, hold down the Control key and click but I’m just going to long press on. And what you’re going to see is pin. When I pin this, it pins it up towards the top of all of your lists. It also does remove it from my lists here. So if I go over to my inbox, this is my reminder source where everything goes into. And then from there, what I’m able to do is categorize it. I’d like to have this inbox up towards the top. When I move it. What it does is it moves it from my lists and places it above all of the other lists. So let’s go ahead and do that. Again, I long press on it, or Ctrl click if you have a keyboard, and then you go over to pin. And now we can see we have my inbox here, and it is no longer in my lists. Another new feature is templates. This is probably my favorite feature with the Reminders app and it’s in my top five for iPad os 16. With templates, what we’re now able to do is create a template out of any one of our lists. And then we can reuse that list over and over. So as an example, I have here a travel list. This is basically a packing list. When I am done with that trip, what I’m going to do is I’m going to delete this list, just tap and hold and I delete it. Now if I delete it, the next time I go on a trip, guess what I have to do I have to recreate it? Well with templates, what we’re able to do is recreate it from a template, we’re able to recreate that list this packing list here from a previous list. So how do we do that? Well, basically, all we have to do is just create a template out of any one of our lists, we first have to create the list. So I have my travel list here, I want to create a template out of it, all I have to do is just make sure it is selected. And then what we do is we go to the more in the upper right hand corner, the three dots and when I tap on it, you’re going to see Save as Template. I’m going to call this packing lists travel isn’t really that good of a description. So let’s just call this packing list. I tap on save. It is now saved.
Now what I’d like to do is go on a trip. So I have my travel my packing list here. Let’s go ahead and delete everything or market is complete. I packed all that. I’m done with my trip. Now I’m going to go and delete this list. Go ahead and delete it. Alright, it’s six months later, I’m going on another trip. I need to create that packing list again. Well now that it is saved as a template, all I have to do is just go to add list here. And when I add the list, I can go over to templates and then I can recreate Add a list based off of this template, my packing list template. So let’s go ahead and do that. I’m going to keep it named as packing list.
And now we have my packing list with my four items in there. I go on another trip, I just pack everything in there. I’m done with the trip, I’m going to delete this. I’m going on another trip, I need to recreate that packing list again, I just go to add list, go over to templates, select my packing list.
And now I have my packing list here again, to manage these templates, what we do is we go to the More button in the upper right hand corner of all of our lists. When I tap on this, I go over to templates. And from here, what I’m able to do is delete it by tapping on edit, I tap on the red circle to delete it. If I want to share this list with someone, I can do that as well. I tap on the eye. And I can go and share this template with someone. If I add more items to it, I can save that as a new template.
So templates make it really easy to keep all of your lists clean. Here, you’re done with the list before you delete it, make sure you make a template out of it, then you can delete that list and at a later date, recreate that list based off of your template. So that’s how templates work. We also have more robust smart lists. If you’re not familiar with smart lists, smart lists are basically automatic lists, they are lists based on specific criteria.
When I go to add a list here, what I can do is I can create a smart list, a smart list is going to be based on if a reminder has specific tags, and if it’s a specific date, if there’s time with it, if it’s at a specific location. In addition to that, let’s go over to tags, what I can do is I can say if it includes any tag, any selected tags, or if includes all of the tags, or if there are no tags. So we have a lot more options. When we create a smart list. We can do that with any one of these, if we go over to flags, do I want to create a smart list that has all of my flagged reminders or any of them that are not flagged?
When we go over to location, do I want to include all of the reminders that are at a specific location or have a specific location tied to it, or if they do not have any location tied to it. So you can see we have a lot more options. And then if we use multiple criteria here, we can say if we want to include reminders that match all of the filters. So it has to include a tag and a location. Or we can say any of them. So if it includes a specific tag, or if it’s at a specific location, it’ll show in that smart list. So that is what’s new. With the Reminders app. We have some new views, we can pin our lists. We have smarter smart lists. But my favorite feature is we now have templates. So we can do is we can create a template from any one of our lists, and then reuse that template to create new lists when we need them. So we no longer have to have a long list of reminders, we can get rid of our lists. And then when we need that same list again, just use a template just create a list based off of our template. So that is what’s new with the Reminders app with iPad os 16
