iOS 26 brought a lot of big changes to how the iPhone software looks and feels<\/a>, along with fresh updates for system apps like Notes<\/a>, Maps<\/a>, Photos<\/a>, and more<\/a>. Apple\u2019s Reminders app has a variety of new features too, here\u2019s everything new for Reminders in iOS 26.<\/p>\n New Liquid Glass design<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s new \u2018Liquid Glass\u2019 design impacts all built-in apps in iOS 26, but certain apps feel more changed than others.<\/p>\n When viewing your list of tasks, Reminders\u2019 design has only subtle changes, but the rest of the app feels especially refreshed.<\/p>\n For example, the design of the Smart Lists at the top of your list view has been overhauled with a distinct aesthetic, and new icons sit in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n Similarly, the task creation and editing views offer a revamped look. Data types are better organized and visually distinct, with new variable spacing and headers that make it easy to find what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n Quick task creation from Control Center and more<\/p>\n Reminders added a new control<\/a> in iOS 26 for creating tasks faster than ever.<\/p>\n You can add the \u2018New Reminder\u2019 control to:<\/p>\n Control Center<\/p>\n the Action Button<\/p>\n or your Lock Screen<\/p>\n Wherever you put it, Reminders\u2019 control offers a handy popup that provides quick access to several important data parameters you need in creating the reminders. You can change the list, or add a note, due date, location, or flag.<\/p>\n Lists that auto-categorize<\/p>\n Sections are a great existing feature<\/a> for breaking up a lengthy Reminders list to make it more manageable. But historically, you\u2019ve needed to manually sort your reminders into sections\u2014essentially creating another \u2018to-do\u2019 before you can get to your actual work.<\/p>\n But in iOS 26, Reminders has a new auto-categorizing feature so your lists can sort themselves.<\/p>\n Thanks to Apple Intelligence, and only with your explicit permission, Reminders can create intelligent sections inside your lists and automatically sort your tasks into them. The feature makes it easy to get an overview of everything on your plate, with zero effort on your part.<\/p>\n Apple Intelligence suggested reminders<\/p>\n Another Apple Intelligence feature this year is \u2018Suggested Reminders.\u2019<\/p>\n Using AI language tools to understand content you feed it, whenever you share emails, websites, or other content with the Reminders app, you\u2019ll see suggestions for tasks that can be created based on what\u2019s shared.<\/p>\n Call back reminders<\/p>\n iOS 26 brings some nice changes to the Phone app<\/a>, one of which is a new Reminders integration.<\/p>\n From your list of recent calls, you can now swipe left to find a new reminder button. Hit that to set a \u2018Call Back Reminder\u2019 for 1 hour later, later that day, tomorrow, or some other time.<\/p>\n The new reminder is created in the Reminders app with a direct link, and it will also be prominently displayed in the Phone app.<\/p>\n Time zone override<\/p>\n If you travel across time zones often enough, you\u2019ve probably encountered issues with reminders alerting you at unexpected moments.<\/p>\n Apple has long offered a \u2018Time Zone Override\u2019 feature for the Calendar app that can solve this. And in iOS 26, that same option is now available for Reminders too.<\/p>\n Inside the Settings app, you can now choose a default time zone for all your reminders to follow\u2014no matter where you are in the world.<\/p>\n Best iPhone accessories<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/reminders-ios-26-liquid-glass.jpg\")
