If you're using Family Sharing, you can share Reminders with everyone in your group. From shopping list items to household chores, packing lists to game day tasks, shared reminders are a great way to keep the whole family organized and engaged.
How to share task and todo items with Reminders and Family Sharing
- Launch the Reminders app on iPhone and iPad.
- Tap on Family from the main list view.

How to share Reminders with Family Sharing
I've only been using an iPhone for the past 6 months, but that is such an odd feature imo. It's just easier to add someone to a calendar invite if you really need a reminder. As for the shopping list, etc. just use OneNote which much more versatile (I realize not everyone has this) so I guess it's possible that the reminder app would possibly work better for that, but not general reminders.
