I used to be able to set reminders on Chrome that would sync with my android phone, just by typing 'reminder' in the chrome address bar or search box. Now I just get google results for the word reminder. What about others? Very useful feature that google appear to have taken away?

Set an event in Google Calendar and you will get a reminder on your phone.

True but it was a lot easier to just type “reminder buy bacon in the morning” in the Chrome window than it is to open calendar, and create a new event?

A known issue for a long time now, see below;

I just use a voice command with the Google Assistant on my phone, as it's usually in the same room as me. Admittedly may not suit everyone though.

Ah right, fair enough. Phone was downstairs at the time!
