\t\"\"<\/p>\n

iOS 27 adds new features to Apple Notes<\/a>, Messages<\/a>, Wallet<\/a>, and more<\/a>, and it has a few improvements for the Reminders app too. Here\u2019s everything new for Reminders in iOS 27.<\/p>\n

#1: Describe your reminder<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reminders has offered some level of natural language support for new reminders for a while. But in iOS 27, Apple Intelligence brings a new take on the feature.<\/p>\n

When creating a new reminder, you can still use the same old system where you type certain reminder info, like a due date, and the keyboard row will suggest adding that date to the reminder.<\/p>\n

But Apple Intelligence now goes a step further, letting you describe a reminder and have it automatically adopt all of the relevant metadata you mention. Per an iOS 27 splash screen:<\/p>\n

Describe a New Reminder: Use your own words to describe a reminder and Apple Intelligence will help create it for you.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if both the old and new systems will continue to exist throughout the beta cycle, since both carry a lot of overlap in functionality. But in theory, the new AI-powered \u2018describe\u2019 feature should make reminder creation quicker and more seamless than before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new \u2018describe\u2019 feature is part of Reminders\u2019 full task metadata panel. But if you\u2019re just quickly adding or editing reminders inside a list, iOS 27 has an upgrade there too with more tools than ever.<\/p>\n

In iOS 26, when creating or editing a task you would see five options above the keyboard row: Date, Location, Tag, Flag, and Camera.<\/p>\n

In iOS 27, Reminders moves all metadata options into a new box that surrounds your active reminder. And it\u2019s far more robust than before. The new UI lets you modify the following:<\/p>\n

Date<\/p>\n

Time<\/p>\n

Urgent<\/p>\n

Repeat<\/p>\n

Location<\/p>\n

Tag<\/p>\n

Flag<\/p>\n

Camera<\/p>\n

You can still tap the \u2018i\u2019 icon to view the full set of metadata options, but with iOS 27 you shouldn\u2019t have to do that nearly as often.<\/p>\n

#3: Grocery list improvements<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apple says that Reminders\u2019 grocery list auto-sorting feature has been made better in two ways:<\/p>\n

it now \u201csorts grocery list items more accurately\u201d<\/p>\n

and grocery list sorting expands to multiple languages<\/p>\n

Essentially, due to the more powerful Foundation Models<\/a> in iOS 27, this feature that\u2019s been around a while is going to work better than ever.<\/p>\n

More info on Reminders\u2019 grocery list feature is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
