In the Reminders app, you can use tags as a fast and flexible way to categorize and organize your reminders. You can add one or more tags to a reminder, such as #shopping and #work, and easily search and filter your reminders across lists using the Tag Browser or Smart Lists.
A tag can be only one word, but dashes and underscores can combine words. You can also rename or delete a tag, and deleting it removes it from all Smart Lists that use it.
Note: All Reminders features described in this guide are available with updated reminders, but some features aren’t available when you use other accounts.
