iPhone 11 Weird Reminders App issue

[mikeb71]

In the last few days my Reminders app added its own entry that just shows "!!! was open on.". No idea what this is or how it got there but it keeps incrementing as time goes on, and if I delete it it just comes back again (currently up to 79 entries). Any ideas?? 🤷‍♂️

That is really odd. Might want to contact apple. I'm a little out the loop with iOS. Is it possible to clear the apps cache or data?

I'm not aware of a way of doing that. I've tried deleting the Reminders app and reinstalling it again, but it just comes back again. I also tried logging out of iCloud and restarting my iPhone but once I'd logged back in to iCloud they started appearing again. I've decided to use a different app now as it's becoming a pain, but I wondered if anyone had seen this before as I'm also having major battery drain issues on my series 4 watch (currently at 18% when fully charged at 7:30am today); both problems appeared around the same time so I'm clutching at straws that there might be some kind of connection as to something in the background causing both issues 😕.

Maybe it helps if you disable the reminders syncing with your phone for a bit an reenable it later to test.

Haven’t encountered this issue myself though. Might be best to contact Apple to report it.

The same thing is appearing on my iPad and Mac too, so I would probably need to disable it in all cases. I think I'll try Apple when I get a chance and see if they can see what's going on. 👍

Delete the whole list (not just the reminder) and create another one.

There's a setting when setting an alarm for repeating the alarm. It can be set to any frequency. Maybe a rogue reminder got set somehow

Thanks, but I’d already tried that. These are appearing in my “My Reminders” list. I deleted the whole list and then later on it was back with the weird entries starting to appear again. Things have been VERY buggy for me recently ☹️
