But there’s a catch. You can’t set yearly reminders or one-time events. It’s limited to daily, weekly, or monthly options. Not ideal for annual events like birthdays. Third-party apps like Reminderbase or Moxy Messenger offer more flexibility. But be cautious. These apps may access sensitive info in your messages.
