Change the order of reminders

Tap and hold a reminder, then drag it to where you want it to appear within the list. Be sure to place it between reminders; if you drag it onto a reminder, it becomes a subtask.

View your reminders in smart lists

The main screen of the Reminders app shows built-in smart lists that automatically organize your reminders into quick views:

• Today shows all of your reminders that you marked as being due today. It also shows reminders that are overdue.
• Scheduled shows all of your reminders that have a due date—past, today, and in the future.
• Flagged shows all of your reminders that you assigned a flag to.
• All shows every reminder, organized by list.

Smart lists include reminders from all of your custom Reminders lists. In the Scheduled, All, and Flagged smart lists, you can tap the more button and select Show Completed to include your completed reminders.

You might also see Assigned to Me and Siri Suggestions smart lists. Assigned to Me shows all of your reminders in shared lists that are assigned to you. Siri Suggestions shows suggested reminders for you to create based on your Mail and Messages.

Notifications that you set for your reminders aren't shared with anyone else.

• 'Remind me to feed the dog every day at 7:30 a.m.'
• 'Remind me when I get home to check the mail.'
• 'Remind me when I leave here to stop by the grocery store.'
• 'Remind me tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. to call Tara.'

Add your home and work addresses to your card in Contacts to allow Siri to help you set location-based reminders. Open the Contacts app, then tap My Card. Tap Edit, add your work or home address, then tap Done.

* Siri uses Location Services when your reminder needs to use your location. Siri availability, features, and commands vary by language, country, and region. Learn which Siri features are supported in which countries and regions.

Add a reminder from another app

Reminding yourself about something in an app, like the news article you want to read when you get home, has never been easier. Create a shortcut to a place within another app by setting a reminder from within that app. Remind yourself to go back to that app—for example, to revisit a website or a map location—and you'll have a link in your reminder to where you left off.

With an app open, ask Siri 'Remind me about this later.' Or tap the share button in the app, then tap Reminders.

In your reminder, you'll have a link directly to a place in another app that you want to go back to.

When you get the scheduled notification, or when you open Reminders, tap the link under the reminder to go directly to the app.You can also set a reminder when you get a phone call that you can't answer immediately. Tap Remind Me on the call screen, then choose when you want to be reminded to return the call.

The Measure app uses augmented reality (AR) technology to turn your device into a tape measure. You can gauge the size of objects, automatically detect the dimensions of rectangular objects, and save a photo of the measurement. And with iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation), iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, you can measure objects more easily with visible guides, measure a person’s height, and see a history of your measurements.

Before you start

First, make sure that your device's software is up to date. The Measure app works on these devices:

Also make sure that you're in a place with good lighting.

How to take a single measurement

1. Open the Measure app, then follow any onscreen instructions that ask you to move your device around. This gives your device a frame of reference for the object you're measuring and the surface it's on. Keep moving your device until a circle with a dot in the center appears.
2. Move your device so that the dot is over the starting point of your measurement, then tap the Add button .
3. Slowly move your device until the dot is over the ending point of your measurement, then tap the Add button again.
   

After you take a measurement, you can adjust its starting and ending points. Touch and hold one of the points, then drag it where you want it to go. The measurement changes as you move the point.

Save your measurement

While the measurement is displayed, you can tap the number to see it in inches and centimeters. Tap Copy, and the value is sent to your clipboard so you can paste it into another app. Tap Clear to start over.

You can also take a photo that shows the object and its measurement. Just tap the Shutter button , and the photo appears in the lower-left corner of your screen. Tap it to make edits using Markup, or swipe left to save it to your Photos app.

How to take multiple measurements

1. After you take the first measurement, move your device to place the dot over another location on or near the object.
   
2. Tap the Add button to start the second measurement, then move your device to place the dot somewhere along the existing measurement.*
   
3. Tap the Add button again and the second measurement appears.
   
4. Repeat these steps to take as many measurements as you'd like.
   

Tap the Undo button to remove the most recent measurement, or tap Clear to start over.

* Additional measurements must start or end somewhere along an existing measurement. Otherwise, all previous measurements are replaced by the newest one.

Measure a rectangle

If your device detects that the object you're measuring is a square or rectangle, it automatically places a measurement box around the object. Tap the Add button and measurements appear for the object's width and length. Move your device slightly, and the object's calculated area appears.

While the measurement is displayed, you can tap the calculated area number to see the length of the diagonal as well as the area in square inches or square meters.

Use the Measure app with iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation), iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max

iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation), iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max use the LiDAR Scanner to help you measure objects more quickly and accurately with the Measure app.

Not sure if your device has a LiDAR Scanner? Find out which iPad model you have or which iPhone model you have.

Measure a person's height

When the Measure app detects a person in the viewfinder, it automatically measures their height from the ground to the top of their head, hat, or hair. You can tap the shutter button to take a photo of the person with their height measurement. Then you can use Markup on the photo, save it, and share it.

Use vertical and edge guides

On iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation), iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, guide lines help you measure the height and straight edges of furniture, countertops, and other objects easily and precisely. Guide lines appear automatically along edges and when making a vertical measurement.

Snap your starting and ending points to the yellow guide line, then tap a measurement to see the expanded information that iPad Pro provides. You can view the measurement's elevation, distance away, angle, and more.

See more granular measurements with Ruler View

The Measure app on iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation), iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation), iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max adds a ruler overlay to line measurements, showing you the object's dimension in granular increments. Move your iPad Pro close to a line measurement to see the ruler view appear, then tap the shutter button to take a photo so you can use the increments for planning projects.

See your measurement history

Tap the list button to view all the measurements that you've taken during the current session, including screenshots that you took. This helps you keep track of dimensions as you measure a space or series of objects. You can copy the dimensions into Notes, Mail, or any app you want to save your list in, or clear them to start over.
