So to prevent missing it, system notification for custom reminders will disappear automatically after one minute by default, not a few seconds. Custom reminders are more important than time reminder.System notification for time reminder will automatically disappear after a few seconds, because it's not very important.System notification may also be missed if it disappears automatically. In addition, if you forget to turn on the speaker or the volume is too low, you will not hear it. The voice announcement will make a sound, so it may not be suitable for everyone.
