If you're a user who makes the most of the Reminders tool on your iPhone or iPad, adding situation-specific attachments to your reminders is a fantastic way to step up your organization.

For example, adding an image or document to a reminder is a great way to trigger your memory when you glance at it, reminding you of something specific that could otherwise get omitted.

In the following Visi tutorial, we're going to go through the steps for adding and deleting attachments with the Reminders app in iOS 13.

For this post, we used an iPhone 7 Running iOS 13.5.
