Reminders on iPad doesn't sync with iPhone

Context: iPad A16 with iPadOS 26.0.1; iPhone 15 with iOS 26.01; Signed in to iCloud with the same Apple Account on both devices; Contacts, Calendars and Reminders are turned on in my iCloud settings; date and time settings are aligned.

Problem: Reminders aren't syncing; it appears that the lists on the iPhone and iPad are stored locally. All other services like iCloud Drive, Notes, Calendar, and Contacts are syncing correctly.

Tried all combination of sign-in/out, restart, reboot.

What else can I do?

iPad, iPadOS 26

Try checking if you can see your reminders on https://www.icloud.com/. Check this out from your iPad.

This is to see if your reminders are syncing to the cloud at all. If your reminders are available in the iCloud, try disabling Reminders in Settings > Apple Account (Your Name) > iCloud on both your devices at the same time. Then restart both devices, and go in and enable Reminders in iCloud again (also on both devices)

See if that helps and the two devices sync up with each other.

Nope, I don't see the data in the cloud. All the devices and services( iCloud, iPhone, iPad and Mac mini) appear to be standalone, not synchronizing but only saving locally.
