Especially when working on collaborative projects, there are a few basic things I like to have at my disposal for smooth operation. Seamless cooperation and the ability to easily delegate responsibilities to others. Until iOS 13, I had to rely on third-party task managers to assign tasks as the Reminders app didn’t have this feature. But that’s a thing of the past, as I can now share reminders with others on iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 for seamless collaboration when dealing with a shared project.
