How to Sync Your Phone Calendar with Other Accounts

Tap a step to follow along in order.

  1. Open your calendar app's settings

    Go into the account management settings in your phone's default calendar app.

  2. Add another account

    Sign in to another calendar service you want to sync, such as Google or Outlook.

  3. Choose which calendars to show

    From the added account's list of calendars, check the ones you want displayed alongside your existing events.

  4. Set a default calendar

    Setting which calendar new events save to by default means you won't have to pick one every time.

  5. Why this is useful

    Seeing your work calendar and personal calendar together in one app makes managing your schedule much easier.

Stop switching between separate calendar apps

If you're checking a work calendar in one app and a personal calendar in another, connecting every account to a single app can save you a surprising amount of back-and-forth and make it much easier to manage your schedule.

Recurring events save you even more time

Instead of recreating the same event every week or month, use each calendar app's repeat option to set it up once. Most calendar apps let you choose daily, weekly, monthly, or custom recurrence patterns, and you can end the series or edit a single occurrence without disturbing the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I add an event on a synced calendar, does it also show up on the original account?

Yes β€” no matter which calendar app you add an event from, it syncs to that account's servers, so it will also appear on your other devices and apps signed into the same account.

Can I hide just one calendar from view?

Yes, unchecking a specific calendar in your calendar list hides its events from view while keeping the underlying data intact, so you can turn it back on any time.
