As the title mentions, every time I would try and save a reminder it would give me the error "Sorry, there was a problem." I learned this is because iPhones store all completed reminders from all-time. This means you could potentially have thousands of reminders clogging the system. After I fixed this my reminders started working normally again.

Just to note, it might take a bit for the reminders app on your phone to actually catch up with iCloud.com. I had to update my reminders app to get it going but now I can easily set reminders again. Hope this helps.

EDIT: u/Kahroo12012 in the comments shared this link below in case the solution I wrote up doesn't work. It's a shortcut to clear your completed reminders.

Tim Cook replied to my e-mail about how Live Photos helped me with my mom's passing.

I don't believe that Apple is the best company in the world, but Tim Cook actually replying to my e-mail was a big thing. - Don't get me wrong, I'm using multiple apple products while I'm writing this, but I'm not a fanboy.

My mom died from cancer in 2017. It was a horrible experience, but an apple feature gave me and my dad a great memory of her. (The conversation took place in 2017 by the way... I've been waiting until now to post it because I didn't want to capitalise on the death of my mother.)

Here's the very brief exchange;

Hi!

We have never met, yet I'm grateful to you and Apple. My mom passed away on the 10th of august (from cancer of the stomach and various complications thereof), and the entire family was heartbroken.

That evening, we received an iMessage from a friend with a picture she thought was a great picture of my mom and dad together. Well, it turned out it was actually the last picture of them together.

And, unbeknownst to the person that took it, it was a live picture. That single iPhone feature has given my family a lasting picture and a memory of my mother that any single photo couldn't. For that, I thank you and the entire apple and iPhone development teams!

I received the following reply:

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom.

I appreciate your note and support.

Tim

Sent from my iPad Pro

It's little things like that that makes me love the guy. I told my dad about it, and he loved it (after I had explained to him who Tim Cook was).

But, seriously, someone took what they thought was a cute photo of my parents and it turned out to be the last picture of them together - and it also turned out to be a moving picture with audio, of which the person taking the picture had no idea.

If the person taking a photo had known, she would have told the people she was taking a picture of and the moment wouldn't have been preserved the way it was.

Even though it might come down to user error, I am eternally grateful to apple for having the feature set as default.
