How to Set a Google Reminder on the Mobile App

Google Calendar is an efficient way to stay on top of a schedule filled with appointments. Google reminders ensure you don't forget the little things either. Reminders can be set for a specific date and time or for any time during the day, and the feature has plenty of autofill options to make it as easy as possible. Reminders carry forward until you cancel them or mark them as done. Here's how to set up reminders in the app: Open the Google Calendar app on your phone. Tap the plus sign at the bottom of the screen. Tap Reminder. Enter a descriptive name for the reminder. To set a reminder that lasts for an entire day, turn on the All-day toggle switch and choose a date for the reminder. To select a specific time for the reminder, turn off the All-day toggle switch, select a day from the calendar, then select a time using the scroll wheels. To repeat a reminder, tap Does not repeat and select one of the options or customize your own repeat schedule. Tap Save.
