One of the oldest possibilities of the iPhone, which is not used by every gadget owner, is a reminder of the days of birth and memorable dates. Relevant notice will allow you to buy a gift to a close person in advance or not to forget to congratulate your colleague on or familiar.
Unfortunately, on the new iPhone, this feature is disabled by default.
We introduce data on birthdays manually
To begin with, the smartphone needs to provide data on all memorable dates. If they are not fixed anywhere, you will have to drive them manually for each contact.
1. Open contact card in the application Telephone or Contacts and click Change in the upper right corner.
2. Scroll list to item add birthday, enter the date and click Ready.

1. Go to B. Settings - Contacts - Accounts and choose Add an account.
2. After entering the login and password, it should be noted the items Contacts and Calendars. All phones, email, addresses and birthdays from Gmail will be downloaded on the iPhone.

Customize reminders
Now it remains only to include notifications about birthdays. For this we do the following:

2. Press paragraph Days born. And choose the appropriate type of reminder.
3. Check that system notifications are enabled for the calendar application ( Settings - Notifications - Calendar).

We transfer data to all devices
When everything is configured on the iPhone remains to transfer memorable dates to other gadgets. This will help the ICloud account.

If another iCloud account will be used on the computer, tablet or smartphone, and the reminders of birthdays need to be duplicated, simply transfer the data by the method from the previous section.

In iOS 11, Apple has entered the ability to create and edit notes from the lock screen. We tell how to enable and configure this feature.
At the WWDC 2017 conference, Craig Federigi's vice-president focused on the fact that the iPad can run the application "Notes", simply touching the screen of the branded stylus. The iPhone does not support Apple Pencil, but you can also start notes on it directly from the lock screen.
Enable function
First you need to open the smartphone settings, go to the "Management item" menu, find in the list of "Notes" applications and add them to the list. Now a new icon will appear in the curtain, pressing which will create a new note. If you hold your finger on it or press with effort, then additional options will appear: the list of tasks, photo and sketch.
Setting Notes on Lock Screen
The user can configure application behavior at the control point. For this you need:
- Open smartphone settings.
- Go to the "Notes" menu.
- Scroll down it down to the submenu "Notes on the bumps. Screen "and go to it.
Here you can reassign the basic actions of the application in the control point. For example, by pressing the button in the PU, a non-new note will be created, but the last active is opened. So convenient to keep the list of purchases or hold any other necessary data at hand.
