Using context menus with Todoist on iOS

Context menus were introduced by Apple in iOS 13 as a way to make it easier and quicker for users to edit items. All you have to do is long press an item on your iOS device and several quick actions will pop-up.

Here’s an overview of all context menus we’ve introduced in the Todoist iOS app:

Tasks

Long press the task you wish to edit in order to open the context menu. A menu will pop-up with the following options:

• Select Task lets you select either a single task or multiple tasks for editing.
• Schedule opens a schedule window where you can set a due date and time for your task.
• Move to... lets you move your task to another project and/or section.
• Priority lets you set the priority level for your task.
• Assign lets you assign the task to yourself or a collaborator (this option only appears in shared projects).
• Duplicate Task creates a duplicate of the selected task.
• Copy Link to Task copies the task’s link to your clipboard.
• Delete Task deletes the selected task.

Projects

• Edit Project lets you edit your project’s name and color.
• Share Project lets you add collaborators to your project or remove current collaborators.
• Duplicate Project lets you create a copy of the project.
• Add to Favorites lets you add the project to your Favorites. If the project’s already added to your Favorites, you’ll see Remove from Favorites instead.
• Leave Project lets you leave the project.
