How to view completed reminders on your iPhone or iPad
When you complete a task and check it off, it gets removed from the to-do list — but it's not deleted. If you ever need to review completed tasks, you can do so quick and easily, as well as uncheck them to re-add them to the to-do list if things have changed.
- Launch Reminders from the Home screen.
- Tap the list containing the completed reminders you'd like to see again.
- Tap Show Completed at the bottom of the list. Your completed tasks will reappear in the list, though they will be checked off and greyed out.
Tap Hide Completed at the bottom of the list to re-hide your completed tasks.
How to delete a Reminder on your iPhone or iPad
