Creating Smart Lists in Apple Reminders, from Wednesday, November 13, 2024
Good afternoon Techstravaganza Friends,
I would first like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for the delay for these prior workshops not getting posted earlier.
On this November 13 2024 Workshop, creating Smart Lists in Apple’s Reminders App was covered.
Please note: This was covered on iOS 18, and the process may have changed in iOS 2026.
If it has changed, (I will check to be sure) I will be more than happy to do an updated tutorial on it.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Agenda update for Wednesday, October 1 workshop
Hello Techstravaganza Friends,
This is just a quick update to the agenda for our workshop for Wednesday, October 1, 2025. The original plan was to begin taking a look at podcast player apps on the iPhone and the iPad starting on Wednesday, October 1. However, as iOS 26 has just ben released 3 weeks ago, we will instead take a look at what is new in iOS 27, both in the operating system itself and various VoiceOver enhancements that have been introduced. As such, our multi-part series on podcast player apps will begin on Wednesday, October 8. Please also note that I will be away on Wednesday, October 1 due to a prior commitment. As such, next Wednesday’s tutorial will be under the capable guiance of Ali Moosa. As always, thank you so much Ali for your help and support, and I look forward to being back with you all on Wednesday, October 8!
All the best,
Siena Trigiani
