Reminders is a handy app on your iPhone for writing yourself notes that you need to remember later. You can set a reminder to pop up at a certain time, when you arrive at a certain place, or even when you're messaging a certain person.
Recently, with the release of iOS 13, the Reminders app has gotten a huge upgrade. You can now have multiple lists of reminders, as well as add subtasks, flag certain reminders, or share notes to collaborate with other people.
One of the helpful new features on the app is that it allows you to attach photos or documents to a reminder. This is great for quick, easy access if you want to remind yourself to send an item to somebody, or if you'll need it for reference at a meeting.
Note that this feature only works if you have iCloud turned on, and if you have already updated the Reminders app with iOS 13.
If you haven't, a little "Update" button will appear next to your lists in the home screen of the app. Press it, and then you should be able to use the new features.
