What you need to know
Microsoft and Samsung continue to grow closer and integrate their products together. Now, you can sync items from the Samsung Reminder app with Microsoft To Do. Items sync in both directions, which means that you can check off items on your phone, PC, or other devices while everything stays up to date. In addition to syncing with Microsoft To Do, items can sync with other Microsoft services, such as Outlook on the web and Microsoft Teams.
At first glance, it might seem odd to set reminders through Samsung’s own apps and then have them sync over to Microsoft To Do. After all,Microsoft To Do is available on Android. But Samsung makes it especially easy to set reminders on its phones. For example, when you get a text message, you can tap a shortcut to remind you to respond later. Similarly, if you get a phone call but don’t want to take it right away, you can tap your screen just a couple of times to set a reminder to call a person later. These integrations are quicker than opening up an app like Microsoft To Do.
Syncing Samsung reminders with Microsoft To Do allows you to easily view them on your PC and other devices.
Microsoft shares the steps to set up syncing in atechcommunity post(reformatted with separated steps):
You also need to set Microsoft To Do as your default list. After doing so, reminders from outside of the Reminder app, such as ones you create with Bixby and calls, will sync as well.
Samsung Reminder sync with Microsoft To Do is supported on all Galaxy devices running Android 10 or higher.
