IOS – How does one create a repeating location-based reminder on their iPhone

geolocationiosreminders

Typically, when a user creates a reminder on their iPhone they have the option of setting a 'repeat' schedule (e.g. Every Day, Every Week, etc). However, this option is only available when the reminder is set to notify them at a particular date/time.

On the other hand, if a user wants to create a reminder that notifies them when they’re arriving at or leaving a particular location, there is no 'repeat' option. This means if a user wants to create a reminder that reminds them, for example, to do something whenever they arrive home, they can’t. There’s just no way to make it repeat every time they arrive home.

Unfortunately, asking Siri to do this also doesn’t work.

Is there a way to create a repeating reminder based on location, not time?

Best Answer

If you don't mark the reminder as complete but simply dismiss the reminder, it will stay active and you will be reminded each time you arrive at (or leave) the location.
