Subtasks not coming back daily

I have recently been using the Reminders app and discovered how to create subtasks under a general larger task and create them to recur daily. I noticed though, when I mark off the sub task as “finished” for the day that I did it, it also does the same for the next day and does not allow the sub task to be visible. I quite literally have to mark it off as finished and then at the end of the day, go back and unmark everything that I did so that the next day I can properly be reminded. Which, more than anything, is very frustrating 😐 so I was wondering if anyone knows any way around this? Or if there’s a different app that can be used that will allow me to be reminded every single day without me having to manually go back and uncheck those things that were finished?

Hello JasmenBianca,


This is the way the Reminders app would work. If you create a reminder to go off daily, but then mark it as completed instead of just dismissing the reminder notification, it's going to stop showing the reminder since it has essentially been "stopped" when it was marked as completed.


Use Reminders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you'd like to see a further customization added where you can mark an item as completed and then when the day changes it is automatically removed from being completed, you can submit that suggestion to Apple through their feedback site: Product Feedback


Cheers!
