But don’t worry! We’re here to help you troubleshoot this issue and get your grocery list functioning as it should.
Step 1: Update Your iOS and Apps
First things first, make sure your device’s software and all relevant apps are up-to-date. Here’s how:
-
Check for iOS Updates:

- Open the App Store.
- Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner.

Step 2: Open the Reminders App
Sometimes, Siri needs the app open to add items. Here’s how you can do that:
- Open the Reminders App:
- Find the Reminders app on your device and open it.

Step 4: Restart Your Device
If the previous steps didn’t solve the issue, try restarting your device. This can fix minor glitches.
Step 5: Reset All Settings (Last Resort)
If you’re still having trouble, you can reset your settings. Don’t worry, this won’t erase your data, but you will need to adjust your settings afterward.
