The WhatsApp messages that manage your reminders

People often ask for the list of WhatsApp commands ReminderIt understands. The honest answer is that there is no command list, because you speak to it in ordinary language. But a few example phrases show the range of what you can do, and that is genuinely useful when you are getting started.

Treat the lines below as inspiration, not syntax. Say them your own way and the assistant will still follow.

It reads sentences, not codes

ReminderIt does not have a grammar of keywords you must get exactly right. The same assistant that runs on the website reads your message and works out the intent, so "ring me at 7", "call me at seven this evening" and "remind me at 7pm" all land in the same place.

The one true keyword is STOP, which opts you out of messaging instantly. Everything else is just a request phrased however feels natural.

Creating a reminder

Say what you want and when. "Remind me to take my tablets every weekday at 8am." "Call me tomorrow at 3pm about the dentist." "Wake me at 6:30 every morning."

If you leave out something it needs, most often the time zone, it will ask rather than guess. Being clear about the zone keeps the call landing at the right local time.

Seeing and changing what you have

To review your reminders, ask "what reminders do I have?" and it lists them. From there you can adjust one by referring to it plainly: "move that to 9am", "change the pharmacy reminder to say bring my card", or "cancel the wake-up call".

You can also reschedule conversationally, such as "push my Monday call to Wednesday". The assistant confirms the new time and states the time zone it used.

Responding when a reminder reaches you

When a reminder comes through, two everyday replies matter. Tell it the task is finished and you get a "Marked done ✅". Ask it to snooze and it calls again in about ten minutes.

These are the same natural phrases as everything else. "Done", "all sorted" or "mark it done" all complete the task; "snooze" or "give me ten minutes" all delay it.

A quick reference you can borrow

Set: "Remind me to ring Mum every Sunday at 5pm." List: "What reminders do I have?" Move: "Move that to 9am." Reword: "Make it say bring the letter." Complete: "Mark it done." Delay: "Snooze." Cancel: "Cancel the 6:30 call." Opt out: "STOP."

None of these are magic words. They are examples of the kind of thing you can say, and the assistant meets you wherever your own phrasing lands.
