Set reminders on iPhone
In the Reminders app , you can easily create and organize reminders to keep track of all of life’s to-dos. Use it for shopping lists, projects at work, tasks around the house, and anything else you want to track. Create subtasks, set flags, add attachments, and choose when and where to receive reminders. You can also use smart lists to automatically organize your reminders.

Keep your reminders up to date on all your devices with iCloud
Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on Reminders.
Your iCloud reminders—and any changes you make to them—appear on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Mac where you’re signed in with your Apple ID.
Note: If you’ve been using Reminders on iOS 12 or earlier, you may need to upgrade your iCloud reminders to use features such as attachments, flags, subtasks, grouped lists, list colors and icons, and more. To upgrade, tap the Upgrade button next to your iCloud account in Reminders. (You may need to tap Lists at the top left to see your iCloud account.)
Upgraded reminders are not backward compatible with the Reminders app in earlier versions of iOS and macOS. See Upgrading the Reminders app in iOS 13 or later.
