Sometimes, after subscribing to a calendar on your laptop, you might not see it sync to your phone or tablet. In that case, follow the troubleshooting steps for your calendar system to make sure the calendar feed is synced across your devices.

Apple Calendar

Subscription calendar not syncing across devices

The subscription calendar is not being synced with the iPhone Apple calendar app because Apple does not sync subscription calendars between mobile and desktop/iCloud

The user will need to subscribe separately on both devices to ensure that the subscription calendar is subscribed/appearing on both devices.

Google Calendar

Subscription calendar not syncing across apps

If you subscribe using an iPhone and Google Calendar but it's not synced with your iPad's Google Calendar app, you will need to sync the calendars across your devices. To do this, ensure you’re signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID on your iPhone and iPad. To do this, follow the steps below:

Open the Settings app.
Tap your name at the top and choose iCloud. If you use iOs 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud.
Enable the Calendars toggle. Make sure it's enabled on both iPhone and iPad you want to sync.

Events not appearing

Events from the subscription calendar are not showing in the Google Calendar app

If a calendar subscriber is reaching out saying the events are not showing up on their calendar but tells you that they subscribed, make sure that the subscription calendar is checked on the user's "Other calendars" section. Selecting the calendar shows the events in the calendar view. If it is not selected, it will look as if there are no events on the calendar.

If the calendar is unchecked in the list, they should check it. If it is "checked" to be in view but there are still no events, they need to re-subscribe to the calendar.

See below for example that the subscription calendar is checked/selected to be in view on desktop.

Google Calendar on a desktop:	Google Calendar on an Android

On Apple Mobile: See below for an example that the subscription calendar is checked/selected to be in view on mobile.
