Sharing your iPhone's iCloud calendars is a great way to stay in sync with family, friends, and people you work closely with. Apple makes it easy to share your iCloud calendar with other iCloud users, and you can even give those users the ability to edit your calendar. You can also share a read-only version of your iPhone's iCloud Calendar with Android users so they can add it to other calendar services they can view on their Android device, such as Calendar Google and Outlook calendar. But there are a few more hurdles to overcome. I'll cover both options in this video, starting with sharing with other iCloud users. If you want to move on to how to share your iPhone calendar with an Android user, move on to the timestamp displayed on the screen.
Now let's move on to the steps to share your iPhone calendar with another iCloud user.
Step 1. Launch the Calendar app on your iPhone, then tap /"Calendars/" on the screen. The View Calendars screen appears.
Step 2. Tap the Apple Calendar you want to share in the iCloud section at the top of the screen. You will arrive at the Edit Calendar screen.
Step 3. Tap /“Add person/” in the Shared with section, then enter the email address associated with the person you want to share this iPhone calendar with. Click /"Add/" after entering this person's email address.
Step 4. You will be returned to the Edit Calendar screen, where you will see that person's name now appear in the Shared With section. This person will appear as waiting until they accept the invitation, at which point they will appear as accepted. As a reminder, anyone you share your calendar with using this method must have an Apple iCloud account to be able to accept your invitation and see the calendar you shared with them. Even if they don't have an iPhone or iPad, they can still get a free iCloud account, accept your invitation, and view your shared iPhone calendar online.
Additionally, it's worth noting that when you share your calendar with another iCloud user, the ability for those users to edit your calendar is enabled by default. You can turn this feature off by going to the Shared With portion of that calendar, tapping /"View & Edit/" next to that person, and then turning off the toggle associated with Allow Editing.
Now let's see how to share your iPhone's iCloud calendar with someone with an Android device.
Step 1. Launch the Calendar app on your iPhone, then tap /"Calendars/" on the screen. The View Calendars screen appears.
Step 2. Tap the Apple Calendar you want to share in the iCloud section at the top of the screen. You will arrive at the Edit Calendar screen.
Step 3. Scroll down until you see Public Calendar, then tap the button to the right of Public Calendar to enable it. You will now see a Share Link button appear below the public calendar.
Step 4. Tap /"Share link." A window will appear asking how you want to share the link to your public calendar. In this example, I will choose to send the link via email. Once someone gets the link, they can add it to their favorite calendar service, such as Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar. For example, if someone wanted to add it to their Google Calendar account, they would do the following. Open a web browser and navigate to Calendar.google.com. You can't do this through the mobile app, so you have to do it through a web browser. Click the /"/" sign next to Other Calendars in the list of options on the left side of the screen to open a menu, then click /"From URL/" in the menu. You will land on the URL part of the Settings options. Paste the link that was emailed from your iPhone's shared iCloud calendar, then click "Add Calendar." A read-only version of your iCloud calendar will now appear in that person's Other Calendars section so that she can consult it.
