I accidentally deleted a Call Reminder (reminder with the phone icon) and tried to recreate it. I asked Siri to create the reminder. It understood "Call XXXX" and got their name right (matches exactly to contact), but I am not getting the phone icon. Am I not doing it right, or is this no longer working in iOS 13?
 
Would anyone be willing to try and create one and let me know if it's just me having be issue?
 
Interesting. So I did some testing and seeing the same. I do recall it working before but can't remember if it was iOS12 or earlier version of iOS13. But I can't set a reminder "To call XXX" which will allow me to call from the notification. All it does is take me to the Reminder.

I was able to get a Phone icon by doing "Remind me about this at 4PM" while I was viewing the recent call list from the Phone app but it still does't allow me to call from the notification. Takes me to the contact 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for the confirmation. I have not tried to create one since moving to iOS 13, but I am fairly certain this worked in iOS 12. I'll submit a bug report, for whatever good it will do. I can only assume that with the major changes to the Reminders app, that possibly this functionality was broken.

I’ve noticed the same behavior in iOS 13. I’m not if this is a bug or they just removed this very useful feature from the iPhone.
 
Revisiting this thread, I still can't create a Siri call reminder which includes the direct dial phone icon in latest 13.2.3. So is this a bug, or a dropped feature? And yes, I've submitted feedback to Apple.
