1. From Setup, enter Activity Settings in the Quick Find box, then select **Activity Settings**.
2. Select **Enable Creation of Recurring Tasks**.
3. Click **Submit**.
4. Add the **Create Recurring Series of Tasks** field to the Task Detail section of your org’s Task page layouts.
    
    If the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions section on a Task page layout has been overridden, include the Delete Series and View Series actions from the Mobile & Lightning Actions category in the section. Add these actions if they’re not already there.
    
    To create recurring tasks in the Salesforce mobile app, deselect **Show simpler New Task form on mobile** on the Activity Settings page. The simpler New Task form doesn’t include the options for creating recurring tasks.
