There’s a Recently Deleted List Now

The Reminders app is filled with lists. Whether it’s default lists or the lists that you created, there are many different places where you can store your reminders. But what about the reminders you deleted?

Well, before, they were basically gone. You would need to create the reminder again if you wanted it back on your list. That is until now. Thanks to iOS 18, you now have a Recently Deleted list.

As you’d expect, this list will store all the items you delete from the Reminders app. Your reminders will only go to this list if you actually delete them; it doesn’t just move all your completed reminders to this list.

All the reminders that you delete will stay in the Recently Deleted list for up to 30 days. After that time, that reminder will be permanently deleted. Of course, you can go to this new list and move them to another list so they don’t get deleted, or delete them permanently right on the spot.
