This is due to your Apple account settings. It occurs when the default reminders list is tied to an account (such as Exchange or a non-iCloud email account) that does not support location-based reminders.
To resolve this issue:
- Make iCloud the Default Account for Reminders
Go to Settings → Reminders → Default List and set this to an iCloud list (not “On My iPhone,” Gmail, or Exchange). - Enable iCloud Reminders (if not already enabled)
Go to Settings → Tap your name (Apple ID) → iCloud and make sure Reminders is toggled on. - Disable Non-Supported Accounts (optional but recommended)
If you have an Exchange, Yahoo, or Gmail account syncing Reminders:- Go to Settings → Passwords & Accounts (or Mail > Accounts on newer iOS)
- Tap the account (e.g., Gmail or Exchange)
- Toggle Reminders off
Select Courses or Drop-ins, then enter the barcode (excluding leading zeros) in the search field.
Please contact [email protected] or visit our front counter at Echo Centre or the Aquatic Centre for support.
