Set up a weekly GLP-1 shot reminder on iPhone

Set a reminder in GLP-1 Companion

1. Open the app and select Settings.
2. Under Medication, select your Shot day.
3. Under Reminders, turn on Shot day reminder.
4. When iPhone asks for notification permission, allow it. If permission is declined, the toggle cannot stay enabled.

In the current app, the recurring shot reminder is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. local time on the selected weekday. The time is not currently adjustable in the app. The reminder may be accompanied by an evening weekly check-in, and logging a shot while reminders are enabled schedules symptom check-ins for subsequent days.

If the reminder does not appear

• Check that the correct weekday and reminder toggle are selected in the app.
• Open iPhone Settings → Notifications → GLP-1 Companion and check that notifications are allowed and your preferred alert locations are enabled. Apple’s notification settings can vary by iOS version.
• Review Focus, notification summaries, sound and your phone’s clock and time zone. A notification may be delayed, silenced or missed.
• Use another reminder method as well if that suits your needs; do not rely on a notification as your only source of medication instructions.

Record the dose separately

Receiving an alert does not create a shot entry. Once you have taken your medication, you can open Shots and add the actual date, site and dose. If you miss a dose or are unsure whether you took it, consult your medicine’s instructions or your prescriber or pharmacist. Rules differ between products.
