Microsoft is adding personal message reminders for Teams chats and channels, so users can turn any chat or channel message into a reminder they can act on later. When a message needs follow-up, users can set a reminder instead of trying to remember to return to it. This should help them stay organized.
Users can create, update, complete, and delete reminders as needed. All reminders appear in a dedicated Reminders view, which groups them into upcoming, active, and completed items.
The reminder is also shown on the message itself. Once a reminder is set, the "Remind me" option on the message changes to "Edit reminder".
Note:
Users can set reminders more than a year ahead, but the Reminders view shows only the day and month, not the year.
When a reminder is due, users receive a toast notification, and a badge count on the Teams chat icon shows what needs their attention.
Each reminder keeps the context of the original message, so users can jump straight back to the conversation and pick up where they left off. Reminders are private, only the user who sets a reminder can see it.
The feature is turned on by default and follows the notification settings users already have in Teams. The rollout should be completed by December 2026.
