According to a report by AppleInsider, Apple is improving calendars and reminders in iOS 18 and macOS 15, and Apple intends to make calendar and reminder apps communicate with each other, solving the long-standing problem of users having to switch between the two apps to manage their daily schedules.
Apple's main goal is to allow reminders to be scheduled and added directly within the calendar without the need to open the reminders app, and here are the details of the new features and improvements in the Calendar & Reminders app.
Add reminders directly to your calendar
Apple plans to directly integrate the two apps, Calendar and Reminders, and whenever you create a reminder event on the calendar, it will also appear in the Reminders app, with the main purpose of helping users stay on track and be more productive.
Users can click on an area option in the day, week, or month view directly in the calendar to add a reminder or schedule a new trip event, as well as add a title, note, or tag to the reminder event so that they can find the reminder more quickly.
Reminder of the synchronization of the details of the event
In addition, the reminder events added through the calendar are almost exactly the same as the events originally set through the reminder list, and you can also select the date, time, and location of the reminder.
Smart adjustments to the calendar interface
In addition to the new reminder event function, the calendar also has adjustments and changes to the calendar app interface, for example, when the calendar is switched to today, the reminder number will be displayed relatively large, so that the calendar can directly display detailed reminder events, similar to the third-party tool Fantastical Calendar, after all, many of Apple's design inspirations are mostly from third-party applications, such as competing products and services, operating system extensions, jailbreak tools, etc.
The blessing of AI
Apple is also currently working on AI AI models that enable Apple devices to run independently, which can take advantage of the powerful Apple Silicon processor while providing private and secure tools.
There is no definite word yet on what AI features will be integrated with reminders and calendars, but what is known is that this year Apple will combine the two core apps into one, the main purpose of which is to allow users to plan trips and reminders more efficiently, and can handle them directly through the calendar.
