Location Based Reminders

On iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models, Reminders can alert you when you arrive at or leave a location.

Be reminded when you arrive at or leave a location. Swipe a reminder to the left, tap More, then turn on “Remind me at a location.” Tap Location, then choose a location from the list or enter an address. After you define a location, you can drag to change the size of the geofence on the map, which sets the approximate distance at which you want reminded. You can’t save a location reminder in Outlook or Microsoft Exchange accounts.

Ask Siri. Say something like: “Remind me to stop at the grocery store when I leave here.”

Add common locations to your My Info card. When you set a location reminder, locations in the list include addresses from your My Info card in Contacts. Add your work, home, and other favorite addresses to your card for easy access in Reminders.
