• Helpful Tips:
  • If you do not want Siri to ask you when to create a task, use "Remember to…" For example, "Remember to go on a bike ride."
  • Intelligent Task Parsing (click here to learn more)
    
    • Use Siri to create projects, and checklists, assign tasks to a specific list, add a context, etc.
    • For example, create a quick shopping list by asking Siri
      • "Remind me to Go Shopping (colon) milk (comma) bananas (comma) oranges"
        • Go Shopping
          • milk
          • bananas
          • oranges
      • "Remember to Call John (caret) Work"
        • This task will be assigned to your list named "Work"
