The feature, as might be expected, is most useful in that it allows those to be set with some details prefilled. Such as the date and time. So, summarily, without users having to remember all of the details of the event prior to entering them. Or, without forcing users to find another way around that. For instance, by jumping back and forth between the Calendar app and messaging app in the Recent Apps view. All users need to do is to set a title for the reminder or event. And, of course, to set fine details such as repetition and ringtone. The feature enters the most important aspects automatically. So, if that sounds like a feature that would benefit you, you’ve come to the right place. Without further ado, let’s take a closer look at how to use notifications to set a reminder or calendar event in the Android operating system.
Here’s how to set a reminder from an Android notification even when it doesn’t work as the system intends
Now, it’s important to note, right from the start, that this feature relies on the receipt of notifications containing a date and time. And, as noted later on, doesn’t appear to work for every app either. Our example uses Google’s Messages app for SMS. Summarily, it isn’t going to be appearing for everybody all of the time. Instead, it will appear for conversations in which both a date and time have appeared. Such as for a discussion about making plans. Or about setting appointments. Conversely, it also doesn’t appear to work every time either. Or at least it doesn’t always work as intended, as is sometimes the case with any “how-to” process. But we’ll also be covering that momentarily As well as a way to bypass the issue so that you can still set a reminder or event directly from your notification pane on Android, without having to remember all of the pertinent details.
