Many
iPhone XR/XS Max and iPhone 8/7/6s Plus users are facing issue with siri that
the siri remind command to remind about something is not working in iOS 12. For
example if you are reading an email or some webpage on safari and want SIRI to
remind about that later on at a specific time you need to say only : "Siri,
remind me about this email" and SIRI is intelligent enough to understand
that you want to be reminded about current email or page. But after iOS 12 upgrade
some iPhone users are facing issue that "Siri, remind me about this "
is not working and SIRI is not doing anything for such commands.

| Siri, remind me about this email not working |
Once
you open Siri, you're supposed to be able to, "Ask Siri to remind you
about something you’re looking at in apps like Safari, Mail, Maps, and
Notes." As per some reports, Since this feature was invented, there were
instances where it failed to work having Siri asking me what I wanted to be
reminded about. This is big issue for some users who are in habit of using Siri
remind command.
How to fix Siri remind command not working on iOS 12/12.1/12.2/12.3 :
Fix
1: Use exact Phrase- "Remind me about this at ...." works.
It
seems that this feature, with email specifically, requires exact semantics to
make it work. it’s “hey Siri, remind me of this email on month, date.” It seems
that If you say “tomorrow” instead of the date, it won’t work. If you say
“remind me of this” instead of “this email” it won’t work. If you say remind me
on month, date and include the year, it won’t work.
Fix
2: Hard reset the iPhone
For
many users, surprisingly doing a restart or a hard reset to the iPhone helped
to fix the issue and the Siri remind is working normally after this. These are
generally software glitches that can be removed after a reset to iPhone. To
hard reset iPhone XR/XS/X:
-Press
Volume Up, then release.
-Press
Volume Down, then release.
-Press
and hold the Power / Lock button on the right side of iPhone X.
-Continue
to hold the Power / Lock / Side button until the Apple logo appears on screen
of iPhone X.
To
force/hard restart iPhone 7 and previous version:
-Press
and quickly release the Volume up button then press and quickly release the Volume
down button.
-To
complete, press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears on the
screen.
