Sharing lists in the Reminders app includes great features like the ability to add and remove members from a shared list, and even to remind list members to accomplish tasks when they're at the correct location to do so. Once you get the hang of using Reminders to share your lists, you may just wonder what you ever did without this feature!

Now you can share lists via the Reminders app! Any friends and family you have added to your lists can add items and check them off, meaning you can collaborate on all that you need to do and get it done more quickly. Another thing to note is that you can only share lists with fellow iPhone users, so if you want to share reminders with Android-using friends and family, you may want to learn how to print from Reminders.
