There\u2019s a lot to love about macOS Big Sur, including the changes to the Reminder app. Before you could share reminders, but not assign them. Now you can assign reminders to folks with whom you share lists, and they\u2019ll get a notification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add reminders for to-dos, projects, groceries, and anything else you want to keep track of \u2013 then use subtasks to further organize your lists further. All reminders appear on all your Apple devices that you set up with the same accounts (iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo, or AOL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure you have upgraded iCloud reminders<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, all the Reminders features I\u2019m discussing are available when using upgraded iCloud reminders<\/a>; some features aren\u2019t available with accounts from other providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should also note that upgraded reminders aren\u2019t backward compatible with the Reminders app in earlier versions of macOS and iOS. That said, to ensure that you have upgraded reminders on your Mac, make sure it\u2019s connected to the Internet. The first time you open Reminders, a Welcome to Reminders screen leads you through the upgrade process. If you choose to upgrade later, click Upgrade (next to your iCloud account in the Reminders app) when you\u2019re ready to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upgrade process only affects the reminders in your primary iCloud account. Reminders in all other accounts, including secondary iCloud accounts on your device, won\u2019t be changed. You can view and edit your upgraded reminders on devices with macOS 10.15, iOS 13, iPadOS 13, or later \u2014 all where you\u2019re signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
