How to sync Apple Reminders on your Android phone

Reminder apps are like our moms, they always remind us of something. Whether it’s about our homework, studying for a test, or bringing that vegetable we would always miss buying. The fact is that we want someone to remind us of things that are important to us.

With smartphones in our hands, we all rely on reminder apps. On Apple, there’s the Apple Reminders app, on Android there are a bunch of options from our phone company’s default app to third-party apps. Some of these apps can also work as task managers.

However, if you are someone who switched from an Apple device to an Android smartphone or are using both phones simultaneously, then there’s no direct way of accessing your Reminders on Android. But as always, there’s a workaround for that. Microsoft is helping users to access their Apple Reminders on Android. That’s possible with the help of Microsoft Outlook and the Microsoft To Do app. That said, let’s see how you can sync Apple Reminders on your Android.
