If you're experiencing issues with your iPhone calendar, such as events not syncing or missing appointments, it might be time to perform a reset. Resetting your iPhone calendar can help resolve various problems and restore its functionality. In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the process of resetting your iPhone calendar. Let's get started!
Step 1: Open 'Settings'
First, locate the 'Settings' app on your iPhone's home screen and tap on it to open.
Step 2: Scroll down and tap on 'Passwords & Accounts'
Once you're in the 'Settings' app, scroll down and look for 'Passwords & Accounts'. Tap on it to proceed.
Step 3: Select your calendar account
In the 'Passwords & Accounts' menu, you'll see a list of accounts associated with your iPhone calendar. This could include iCloud, Google, Microsoft Exchange, or any other accounts you've added. Choose the account you want to reset.
Step 4: Disable the calendar sync
Inside the account settings, you'll find a section called 'Calendar'. Toggle the switch next to 'Calendars' to disable calendar syncing for that account. This will remove all calendar events from your iPhone.
Step 5: Restart your iPhone
After disabling the calendar sync, it's a good idea to restart your iPhone. Press and hold the power button until the slider appears, then drag it to the right to turn off your iPhone. Once your iPhone is off, press and hold the power button again until the Apple logo appears, indicating that your iPhone is restarting.
Step 6: Enable the calendar sync
Once your iPhone has restarted, go back to 'Settings' and navigate to 'Passwords & Accounts' again. Select the account you previously disabled and toggle the switch next to 'Calendars' to enable calendar syncing once more.
Step 7: Check your calendar
Once the calendar sync is enabled and your iPhone has had a chance to sync the events, open the calendar app to verify if everything is working correctly. Your calendar should now be reset and functioning properly.
