To sync Calendars with the Apple Calendar (Local calendar) on your device, follow the steps below:
- Launch Calendars.
- Tap the hamburger icon in the top left (skip this step on the iPad).
- Proceed to Settings at the bottom of the screen.
- Select Local Calendars.
- Enable the Display Local Calendars toggle.
- Launch Calendars.
- Click Calendars in the Menu Bar at the top.
- Select Preferences > Local Calendars.
- Enable the Display Local Calendars toggle.
When turned on, Calendars shows calendars from your iOS Settings accounts.
To connect a new calendar account locally, you’ll need to add it to your Apple Calendar app first. Here’s how:
- Open iOS Settings > Apps > Calendar > Calendar Accounts.
- Tap Add Account > select the account needed (for instance, iCloud, Google, or Outlook) and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once added, the account will appear in the Display Local Calendars section of your Local Calendars settings in the Calendars app.
- Open System Settings > Internet Accounts.
- Click Add Account, choose iCloud, Google, Outlook, or another service, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Once added, the account will appear in the Display Local Calendars section of your Local Calendars settings in the Calendars app.
Limitations
- You will not be able to set up Email reminders for created events
- You will not see calendar subscriptions and read-only calendars from Google accounts, attached to the iOS Settings.
- Synchronization may be slower compared to a direct connection.
Adding accounts directly to Calendars unlocks more features and ensures seamless synchronization.
