How to set a reminder for when you get home
Quick answer
Say "Hey Siri, remind me to take out the trash when I get home." Siri creates a location-based reminder tied to your Home address and alerts you the moment you arrive — no time needed.
Say this
“Hey Siri, remind me to take out the trash when I get home”
How it works
- 01Make sure your home address is set on your own contact card ("my card") in Contacts.
- 02Say the phrase, or type it into the Siri text field.
- 03Confirm the location if Siri asks, then tap Done.
- 04The reminder fires once, when you arrive at that location.

If Siri doesn't get it
If Siri makes a time-based reminder instead of a location one, your Home address probably isn't set. Open Contacts, edit your own card, add a home address, and try again.
