Apple's Reminders app helps you organize your schedule and tasks into tidy lists that you can check off after completion. With iOS 16, you now have the option to pin a list to the top of the app just like you can pin a note in the Notes app! This is really great if you have a lot of reminders cluttering the app and you want to be able to find one particular list super quickly.
