Calendar Sync Troubleshooting for iOS 16 or later

Check your default Calendar account 

If you store and edit your events using your iCloud account instead of a third-party account, like Google or Yahoo, iCloud will automatically update your calendars.

In iOS 16 or later, see which calendar account your events are updating through:

  1. Open the Calendar app on your device and tap an event to view Event Details. 

  2. Tap the calendar name to see if the event is updating through an iCloud calendar.

If your device uses multiple accounts like iCloud, Google, and Yahoo, make sure your iCloud calendar is the default Calendar account:

  1. On your device, tap Settings > Calendars > Default Calendar. 

  2. Tap an iCloud calendar to make it your default Calendar account.

Change your sync settings

  1. Tap Settings > Calendars.

  2. Under Calendars, tap Sync. If Sync is set to All Events, set it to a specific timeframe, such as Events 1 Month Back. If it's already set to a specific duration, set it to All Events.

  3. Tap the Home button.

  4. Wait several minutes. Open Calendar, tap Calendars, and pull down to refresh.

Restart Calendar

Close and restart the Calendar app on your iOS device.

iOS 16 or later:

  1. Pull up on your screen to see your open apps.

  2. Find the Calendar preview screen and swipe it up to close the app.

  3. Return to your Home screen.

  4. Wait a minute, then reopen the Calendar app.

Restart your device

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the slider when asked to power off. Turn your device back on.
