Guide: Get Apple Reminders on Windows: Tips and Tutorials
Apple has long kept its users in a closed ecosystem, but now it’s making an effort to bridge the gap with rivals. The company has announced a new iCloud app for Windows users, allowing them to access Apple services such as Reminders, Photos, Mail and Notes. This move should make it easier for those who use both iOS and Windows devices.
Apple has made it easier to access its services on Windows with iCloud Web, iCloud app and Outlook integration. With iOS 13, the company has also given its Reminders app a major overhaul - though it is only available natively on macOS, not Windows.
For those who use both an iPhone and a Windows computer, accessing Apple Reminders on Microsoft Windows can be made easier with three main methods. Here’s how.
1. Use iCloud Web
Apple’s iCloud service provides a convenient, one-stop hub for users to access their photos, contacts, calendar, notes, reminders and Pages documents. Additionally, the Find iPhone feature allows users to locate their device from any web browser.
Tap Reminders and you’ll be taken to the web version of the app, where you can add or complete tasks and add notes. Unfortunately, there’s no way to create new lists, set time and date reminders or receive notifications in the Windows notification panel.
Apple has recently added powerful features to its Reminders app on iOS and macOS, and now attention is likely to turn to the web version of the app, which currently only allows users to view and complete tasks.
2. Use the iCloud app on Windows
Apple has made its cloud service available on Windows PCs, with the release of an iCloud app in the Windows Store. The app can also be downloaded from the web, allowing users to integrate their cloud storage with their PC.
Users can now sync their iCloud Drive, photos, email, contacts, calendar, tasks and Safari bookmarks with Windows PCs by signing into the iCloud app with their Apple account credentials.
Enabling the integration for iCloud tasks allows users to sync their Apple Reminders with Microsoft Outlook on Windows. Once the sync is complete, Outlook can be accessed from the app.
To access iCloud Tasks in Microsoft Outlook, open the Tasks section from the left menu by tapping the three dots buttons. There, you’ll find both Outlook and iCloud Tasks with Lists.
Apple Reminders now offers a more functional solution than its web version, with a simple user interface that allows users to view and take action on tasks. Right-clicking on the task menu provides options to create a task, filter menu, sort tasks by date and more.
Windows users can now access their iCloud files directly from the default file manager. This includes photos, iWork documents and folders, which can be synced with Apple’s cloud services by adding them to a folder.
Windows users can now access Apple’s cloud storage service, iCloud, with the release of the new iCloud for Windows app. The app allows users to store photos, videos, documents and more in their iCloud account and access them from any device.
3. Change the default location in Outlook on Apple Reminders
Apple users can customize where their iCloud tasks are created and stored by changing the default setting in Outlook on iPhone. To do this, go to Settings> Password & Account> Add Account and enter your Microsoft credentials.
Enable the Reminders tab to sync Outlook tasks with the Apple Reminders app, allowing users to view their Outlook account lists in the iOS Reminders app. To do this, go to Settings>Reminders and change the default list from iCloud to Outlook.
From now on, you can easily add tasks to Outlook for Windows via voice or 3D touch menu, as they will be saved in the default Outlook list on Apple Reminders.
Access Outlook tasks in Windows quickly and easily with Microsoft To-Do. The app makes it simple to check off reminders, so you can stay on top of your tasks.
Microsoft To-Do, a native app for Windows 10, allows users to sync their Outlook tasks and Apple Reminders on their iPhone. By using the same credentials, users can add tasks in Microsoft To-Do and have them appear directly in the Apple Reminders app. The Microsoft account acts as a bridge between the two platforms.
For those who don’t want to use a Microsoft account, iCloud integration offers two great alternatives.
Microsoft To-Do is now available for Windows users, offering a simple and efficient way to organize tasks and stay on top of daily activities. The app is free to download from the Microsoft Store.
Access Apple Memories from anywhere
Apple’s iOS 13 Reminders update has made it easy to manage files on iPhones, with macOS users able to access and manage them seamlessly. Windows users can also take advantage of the update by using one of the tricks available to add, complete or change tasks in Apple Reminders.
