iOS Calender Events Synced to Outlook 365 Using Default Alert Reminder Times Don't Appear in Outlook
brnsdv I am having this issue with Siri-created calendar events on my iPhone syncing onto my Outlook calendar on my laptop. The reminder is set to none when it syncs over. This is so frustrating that after 11 years of using an iPhone, I am willing to just be done with it and get something that is compatible. I don’t know what Apple did to remove this after years and years of it being seamless and creating a reminder in Outlook, but they need to move it back because it is critically essential for my job to be able to dictate to calendar events and have them remind me on my laptop.
Apple did nothing. The alert is there and works fine in iOS. Microsoft wrote faulty code on a recent update to Windows or Outlook and now the default alerts are not transferred successfuly to Outlook as they always have been for many years.

hello Audrey0519 i understand that you have the issue only when you use siri but when you create an event through the calendar directly on your iPhone it does work and you receive reminders from outlook app on your desktop can you share with us the version of ios or if you established a certain configuration .

HM45454545 iOS 17.4.1. I can’t even begin to say how frustrating this is when you are an assistant that is always speaking through Siri to create calendar events. I have to have an outlook reminder to go off every day for me to go through all of the reminders to make sure they have the bell icon that I will be notified.

Not rue for me. All iOS created events (Siri or not) have their default alert ignored by Outlook since a faulty coding issue created by MS about 6 weeks ago.

I have the same info. When i create events in iOS calendar with default reminder it comes across to Outlook calendar on PC with reminder set to NONE. I tested it and manually changed the reminder while creating even in iOS calendar and it came through to Oulook app on PC with no problems. This made me miss some events this week as this is only started happening to me this week on new iPhone 15. Besides manually changing reminders each time, is there a solution to this? Thank you!
