How To Share Google Calendar On Iphone

Syncing a shared Google calendar to your Apple device

March 17, 2019 in Google Calendars, Parents

Unless you're like my mom, you probably have a smart phone. If you have an iPhone or iPad and have had trouble getting a our shared team calendar to sync, this tip might help.

Step 1: Add the Team Calendar to your Google account

Click on the calendar link from the boys teams or girls teams page on the website, or from the link in a Club News email
Click on the +Google Calendar in the bottom right corner
This will add the calendar to your Google Account. You can have a Google Account without having a gmail account, but I wouldn't advise using an AOL email account.

Step 2: Select the calendars to sync to your iPhone/iPad/iCal

Select the calendars to sync to your iPhone/iPad and save.
You must complete this step or the shared calendar will not appear in the calendar app on your Apple device.

Step 3: Open your iPhone/iPad calendar app

Select "Calendars."
Pull down to refresh the list.
The calendars you checked in step 2 should now appear in the list.
Select the calendars you wish to display.

For those who haven't added their Google account to their iOS device at all, here are the other steps:

Add your Gmail/Google Calendar to your Apple device
- On your Apple device, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Choose Add Account.
- Choose Google.
- Enter your name, Gmail account, and password.
- Select the items you want to sync (at least calendars, presumably).
Open the Calender app on your Apple device
- Select "Calendars" at the bottom.
- Choose the calendars you want to see.
- If you don't see the calendars you want, go back to the steps above.
