Since the introduction of iOS 18, there is a new button in your iPhone calendar : you can now get a better overview of your week while in your day-view !
To get 2 days (e.g. today and tomorrow) on your screen side-by-side, do this :
open your Calendar on your iPhone
when the YEAR calendar view, click on the ‘Today’ button (bottom left)
when the MONTH calendar view opens, click on the ‘Today’ button (bottom left) – again
when in the DAY calendar view, click on the odd-shaped button in the top-bar (on the left of the Search / Looking Glass button)
in the pull-down list that appears, select “Multi Day”
click outside the pull-down list to close it
now, you can see 2 days (e.g. today and tomorrow) next to each other and you can scroll through your week using the weekday bar at the top
Question : I am using an online service that can set all appointments I have with them in my Google Calendar… but not in my Apple Calendar… and even though I have a Gmail-account, I never use Google Calendar…
Is there any way to sync or transfer the Google Calendar appointments into my Apple Calendar on iOS and macOS ?
Answer :
YES there is ! And it’s rather simple, but you have to enable your Google Calendar : – on the online service’s website, click on the ADD TO CALENDAR (or similar) option – let them set the appointment in your Google Calendar (you might have to login with your Gmail account for that) – then, on iOS (on your iPhone), open the Settings.app – scroll down to “Calendar” and click on the triangle on the right – in the Calendar Settings page that opens, go to “Accounts” and click on the triangle on the right – in the Accounts page that opens, under ACCOUNTS, go to your Gmail address and click on the triangle on the right – then, on the settings page of your Gmail account, go to “Calendars” and make sure that the slider is ON (Green) – then exit the Settings.app – now, on macOS (on your Mac), open the Calendar.app – then, in the top menu bar, click on “Calendar” and select “Accounts” from the pulldown menu – now, in the “Internet Accounts” window that opens, click on your Gmail account’s Gmail address – in the Gmail account’s settings page that opens, make sure taht at “Calendars” the slider is set to ON (Blue) – then exit the Settings – now, in the Calendar.app, you will see the appointments from your Google calendar appear – then, click on the calendar icon on top of the menu list on the left so all your different calendars are listed on the left – now, scroll down to the chapter the has the name of your Gmail account, and uncheck (deactivate) the Birthdays, Family and Holidays options (these are the presets from Google Calendar) – if needed, you can also change the color of the Google Calendar appointments by right-clicking on your Gmail address (that is your main Google Calendar) and selecting a preset or custom color – if needed, you can also choose “Get Info” from the popup menu to change the name (“Description”) of the calendar or the alerts or how thes appointments effect your availability (as seen by others with whom you share your Calendar/appointments)
Question : For some reason, my Calendar.app is flooding with red warning messages like “Your iPhone is infected”, “Virus detected”, “Critical Warning”, “Your iPhone is in danger” etc.
Is this true ? Where did this come from ? How can I get rid of these ?
Answer :
It is not a virus infection. These are not real iOS Error Messages. These are Calendar Events. You have recently clicked on some unreliable internet link that has subscribed you to an external event calendar…
To get rid of these, do this :
on your iPhone, open the Calendar.app
in the window that opens you will see your current appointments, and in the bottom-bar three buttons : “Today”, “Calendars” and “Inbox”
click on the “Calendars” button (bottom center)
in the pull-up screen that appears, you will see all Calendar-feeds that you have active
scroll down to the “Subscribed” chapter
if you have just one entry there, click on the coloured circle in front of it to remove the white checkmark
if you have more than one entry in the “Subscribed” chapter, click on the coloured circle in front of the top/first one to remove the white checkmark
then, click “Done” (top-right) to see if the error messages are gone
if they are, proceed – if not, redo the above step until the error messages have gone from your calendar
when you see that the error messages have disappeared from the regular Calendar view, click on the “Calendars” button (bottom center) again
then, in the pull-up screen that appears, scroll down to the “Subscribed” chapter again and click on the Info-button (encircled i-letter) that is at the right side of the name of the Calendar that you have previously unchecked (to make the error messages disappear)
in the “Edit Calendar” page that opens, scroll down completely and click on “Delete Calendar” (in red – completely at the bottom)
