Apple’s iOS 26.4 update introduces a dedicated Smart List and new shortcut options to streamline the management of time-sensitive tasks within the Reminders application for iPhone users.
Key Points
- A new "Urgent" Smart List now appears at the top of the Reminders home screen to aggregate all time-sensitive tasks.
- Users can mark tasks as urgent by long-pressing an item or using the calendar icon within the Quick Toolbar.
- The update simplifies the previous process, which required navigating to the full task details view to enable urgent status.
- The urgent feature triggers an alarm with a snooze option when a task reaches its designated due time.
