Set up Reminders accounts on iPad
If you use the Reminders app with different accounts (such as iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, Google, or Yahoo), you can manage all your to-do lists in one place. Your reminders stay up to date on all your devices that use the same accounts. You can also customize your preferences in Settings.
Add your reminders stored in iCloud
Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, then turn on Reminders.
Your reminders stored in iCloud—and any changes you make to them—appear on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Mac where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.
Upgrade your reminders stored in iCloud
If you’ve been using Reminders with iOS 12 or earlier, you may need to upgrade your reminders stored in iCloud to use features such as attachments, flags, list colors and icons, and more.
Open the Reminders app.
On the Welcome to Reminders screen, choose one of the following options:
Upgrade Now: Begin the upgrade process.
Upgrade Later: A blue Upgrade button appears above your lists; tap it when you’re ready to upgrade your reminders.
Note: Upgraded reminders aren’t backward compatible with the Reminders app in earlier versions of iOS and macOS. See the Apple Support article Upgrading the Reminders app in iOS 13 or later.
Add other Reminders accounts
You can use the Reminders app to manage your reminders from other accounts, such as Microsoft Exchange, Google, and Yahoo.
Go to Settings > Reminders > Accounts > Add Account.
Do any of the following:
Choose an account provider, then sign in to your account.
If your account provider isn’t listed, tap Other, tap Add CalDAV Account, then enter your server and account information.
Note: Some Reminders features described in this guide aren’t available in accounts from other providers.
To stop using an account, go to Settings > Reminders > Accounts, tap the account, then turn off Reminders. Reminders from the account no longer appear on your iPad.
Change your Reminders settings
Go to Settings > Reminders.
Choose options such as the following:
Siri & Search: Allow content in Reminders to appear in Siri Suggestions or search results.
Notifications: Set how you receive notifications, choose the alert style, and have Siri announce notifications.
Accounts: Manage your accounts and how often data is updated.
Default List: Choose the list for new reminders you create outside of a specific list, such as reminders you create using Siri.
Today Notification: Set a time to see notifications for all-day reminders that have been assigned a date without a time.
Show as Overdue: The scheduled date turns red for overdue all-day reminders.
Mute Notifications: Turn off notifications for assigned reminders.
