On supported devices, dose reminders may offer actions such as:
- Taken — Record that every medication listed in that reminder was given (if several doses share the same time slot, one tap marks all of them). On iPhone, long-press the notification to see this button; the app may open briefly while the dose is saved.
- Snooze — Get reminded again after a short delay (for example, ten minutes).
- Open — Jump into the app for full context.
If you still have not logged a dose about 30 minutes after the first reminder, a follow-up may use a more urgent alert style on iOS (Critical Alerts, when enabled in system settings). You can turn off urgent follow-ups under Settings → Notifications → Urgent follow-up alerts (30 min later).
When you mark a slot Taken or Skipped (from the notification or in the app), the app clears that slot’s primary reminder and any urgent follow-up still in the notification shade. On Family Care, other caregivers’ phones also try to clear the same alerts in the background. See Do shared reminders clear when someone else logs a dose?
Timer alerts may offer Re-administer or Open so you land on the right screen to continue care.
On Apple Watch (experimental, iPhone required), forwarded notifications may show the same Taken, Snooze, or Re-administer actions on your wrist. See How does the Apple Watch app work?
Note: Action buttons depend on iOS/Android version and notification settings.
