If you're asking "where did my reminders go?", they're almost never deleted. They're usually hidden, moved to another app, or marked done without you noticing.

Here's where to look on iPhone and in Google, then how to keep a list you can always find.

## Where are my reminders on iPhone?

Start with the Reminders app, not the notification.

1. **Check the Today and Scheduled lists.** Overdue reminders that you haven't marked done still show up in Today.
2. **Open the list and show completed ones.** Tap the three dots at the top right of a list and choose Show Completed. Once a reminder is marked complete it disappears from the list, which is the most common reason people think one has vanished. The wording and layout can differ a little between iOS versions.
3. **Look in a shared list or another list.** A reminder you added by voice goes to your default list, which may not be the one you're looking at.
4. **Ask Siri.** Something like "what are my reminders for today?" lists what's due. Siri's exact phrasing and behaviour vary, so treat this as a shortcut and not a guarantee.

If you only see a banner when a reminder fires and you swipe it away, it still sits in the app as overdue until you mark it done.

## Where are my Google reminders?

Google moved reminders into Google Tasks. In 2023, Google started migrating Reminders from Google Calendar and Google Assistant into Tasks, first with an opt-in prompt and then automatically. That's why your Reminders calendar looks empty.

1. **Open Google Tasks.** In Google Calendar, open the Tasks panel on the right, or use the Google Tasks app. Your old reminders are there as tasks.
2. **Look in Calendar for dated tasks.** A task with a date shows in Calendar as a pending task in the all-day section. A task with a time isn't added to the calendar grid automatically.
3. **Check Google Keep for reminders you set on notes.** Reminders made in Keep were not part of the migration, so they stay in Keep.
4. **Check the account.** Work and school accounts depend on whether the organisation turned Tasks on. If you can't find a reminder from a work account, ask your admin.

## Why reminders seem to disappear

- **Marked done by accident.** A tap on the circle completes it.
- **Moved to a new app.** Google's move is the best-known case.
- **Wrong list or account.** Reminders go to a default list you may have forgotten.
- **Notifications off.** The reminder fired, but you never saw it.
- **Too many apps.** Two or three places for reminders means one is always the wrong place to look.

## Keep reminders somewhere you can always find them

The fix is fewer places and one question you can ask any time: "what are my reminders?"

That's how [Mindie](/features/whatsapp-reminders) works in WhatsApp. You text it a reminder and it messages you when it's due. At any point you can text "what are my reminders?" and it lists what's coming. You can reply "done" to close one, "snooze 1 hour" to push it back and "undo" if you closed the wrong one. It doesn't replace the Reminders app or Google Tasks, but it gives you one chat to look in. It's paid after a 7-day free trial, at $9 a month or $90 a year.

## FAQ

### Where did my Google Calendar reminders go?

Into Google Tasks. Open the Tasks panel in Calendar or the Tasks app. Dated tasks show as pending tasks in the all-day section of Calendar.

### How do I see completed reminders on iPhone?

Open a list in the Reminders app, tap the three dots at the top right and choose Show Completed.

### Why didn't my reminder go off?

Usually notifications are off or muted for the app, or it fired while the phone was on Do Not Disturb. A reminder that arrives in a chat you read, like WhatsApp, is harder to miss.
