Whether you are using Android or daily driving iOS, it’s hard to look beyond a versatile calendar app like Google Calendar. Deeply integrated with G-Suite, it makes the task of managing events a seamless experience across platforms including iOS. What’s more, you can even sync Google Calendar with Apple Calendar on your iPhone and iPad to keep a track of all of your upcoming events right from one spot. Yeah, you read that right! You don’t need to run from pillar to post for tracking your events even if you are using both the calendars. Let me help you put this seamless syncing on track!
Sync Google Calendar with Apple Calendar on iOS/iPadOS
So, how do you enable Google Calenar to sync with Apple Calenar on iOS? Well, Apple offers a reliable way to merge iPhone/iPad calendar with that of Google right from the Settings app. Thus, you don’t have to use third-party tools or go through roundabout ways to turn on calendar syncing. On top of all, you don’t even need to be running the latest version of iOS to take advantage of this feature.
- Launch Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and choose Mail.
2. Now, tap on Accounts.
3. Next, tap on Add Account and choose Google.
4. Next up, type in your Google ID and password.
Note:
- You may get a popup saying “Settings wants to use google.com to sign in. This allows the app and the website to share information about you”. Tap on Continue in the popup to proceed.
5. Up next, turn on the switch for Calendars and then make sure to tap on Save to enable syncing.
6. Now, launch Calenar app on your iOS device and then tap on the Calendars tab at the bottom center.
7. Finally, select the calendar that you want to sync with iOS calendar. In the end, make sure to tap on Done at the upper right corner of the screen to finish.
That’s all there is to it!
