How to Use Reminders to Create a To-Do List with Indented Subtasks

Swipe to Create A Nested Task

Another method for creating a subtask within your reminders uses the same starting point as the method above: you'll need a list of reminders. Next:

1. Swipe right on the reminder you'd like to turn into a subtask.
2. Tap Indent.
   
   
    
3. To reverse this, swipe right on the task you designated as a subtask, then tap Outdent. You can also use this method to un-nest tasks you designated as subtasks with other methods.
   
   

Add A Reminder Subtask within Reminder Details 

The final method for adding a subtask takes the longest, but is the way to go about it if you haven't already entered the Subtask into a list. To do this:

1. Tap a reminder, then tap the info icon that appears next to it.
2. Tap Subtasks (near the bottom of the page).
   
   
    
3. Tap Add Reminder.
4. Type your Subtask and tap the circle to the left of it; the circle will change to the color you designated for the list you're working within.
   
   
    
5. Tap Add Reminder again if you'd like to enter additional subtasks, or Details if you're finished.
6. Once back to your list, you can tap the carrot to the right of the main task to reveal or conceal its subtasks.
