### **Frequently Asked Questions**

**How do I get reminder notifications on iOS/Android clients?**

To receive reminder notifications on iOS or Android, install the app and log in. Navigate to notification settings and enable reminder notifications to stay updated wherever you are. For Android users, add the 'MangoApps Reminder' widget for additional notifications.

**How do I get reminder notifications via Email?**

To receive reminder notifications via email, ensure your email reminder settings are enabled. Go to 'Changing My Settings' > 'Smart Reminders' to configure.

**Can my event reminder be automatically deleted?**

If you RSVP as 'attending' or 'maybe attending' for an event, a reminder may be automatically set based on your settings. If you change your RSVP to 'not attending', the reminder for that event will be removed to prevent unnecessary notifications.

**Can my task reminder be automatically changed or deleted?**

If you're responsible for a task, a reminder may be automatically created based on your settings. Once you complete or reassign the task, the reminder will be removed. If a delivered task is rejected or reopened before the due date, a reminder may be automatically reinstated based on your settings.

**Can I set multiple reminders for one item?**

You can only set one reminder per item (event, task, etc.) to simplify reminder management. However, you can use the "snooze" feature or create recurring reminders if you need to be reminded again about the same item.
