With the development of telework and mobility, more and more users have to juggle daily between several smartphones. Not easy under these conditions to keep your calendar up to date on each of your phones. Fortunately, there are a few solutions to display appointments from Google Calendar on the Calendar application on your iPhone..
Copy events from Google Calendar to iPhone
Outings, restaurants, trips, trips or professional meetings, the weeks can be very busy. To be sure not to miss anything, it is essential to scrupulously organize each of its activities and to write everything down on a planning management application.
Obviously it takes a long time to keep your calendar up to date. You must manually enter each of its tasks, taking care to postpone the time and place of the meetings. And it's even more complicated when you have two phones running on two different systems (Android and iOS)..
To be sure that each important event appears on your two devices, you will need to synchronize your Google Calendar with your iPhone or iPad. Unfortunately the configuration is a bit long and not very intuitive. But this will save you from having to enter all your duplicate appointments.
Sync Google calendars on iOS
Google Calendar is one of the best calendar apps for smartphones and tablets. Very popular with Gmail users, it comes in two versions, one for Android smartphones and the other for iPhone and iPad..
If you are not a big fan of the Apple calendar, we advise you to install Google Calendar on your iOS device. Not only will you be able to access all your events on all of your mobile devices, but you will also be able to modify them.
For people who cannot do without Apple Calendar, here is the method to synchronize your Apple and Google calendars.
- Take your iPhone in hand
- Open Settings
- Click on the section Passwords and accounts
- Select the Add an account option at the bottom of the window
- Click on the Google logo
- You will then be asked to enter your Google Account email address and password
- Once your account is configured, you will press Next
- You should see Gmail services appear: mail, contacts, calendars and notes
- Click the Calendars switch to activate the synchronization of all your events and appointments. The button will change color and go from white to green
- Press the save button at the top of the window to start synchronization
- Depending on the size of your calendars, the processing time is more or less long
- Launch the calendar app on your iPhone
- Click on the calendars tab at the bottom of the window
- Select the name of your Google Calendar from the list
- Note that by clicking on the small i-shaped icon you can change the name of your calendar as well as the color with which it is associated. This will help you to differentiate them more quickly
- Check the box corresponding to the calendars you want to display when launching the calendar application
Note that you can add as many Google accounts on your iPhone as you want. However, you should keep in mind that a number of functions are not accessible from the Apple calendar application.
This is the case, for example, with the room notification tool or the automatic sending of notifications by email. It is however possible to add appointments or events on your Android smartphone directly from your iPhone.
Sharing and duplicating data and content is done in the right direction. Thanks to its bidirectional synchronization system regardless of the device where the changes are made, they will always be visible on your two smartphones. Note that it is also possible to synchronize the content of an iPhone with an iPad tablet.
