Add details in Reminders on iPad

You can add details to your reminders such as notes, links, due dates, and photos.

Add a note, URL, and other details to a reminder

  1. Go to the Reminders app on your iPad.

  2. Tap an item.

  3. Tap Add Note, then add more information.

  4. Tap the Edit Details button to edit the item details. For example, you can set a date and time, set a location-based reminder, flag an important item, or attach a photo.

Set when and where to be reminded

You can be reminded on a certain date, at a specific time or location, or when you’re texting someone in Messages.
