View attachment 739219 I don't know if it's IOS 11 related or not, but after getting my X earlier this month, I noticed Siri no longer allows me to set a location based reminder.

When I try, she tells me I need to enable reminders on location services and includes a shortcut button. When I go to settings, I see reminders already has location services enabled to "while using the app". There is no "always" option available.

What am I missing?

Ok I figured it out. Siri directed me to the wrong setting. It's actually:

Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Location Based Alerts must be toggled on


Yep that would be necessary. Glad you figured it out.
