Change default calendar on an iPhone, iPad or Mac
Tuesday, May 16 • Wesley Fabry
Using the Calendar application for iPhone, iPad and Mac you can plan appointments and activities and view them at a glance. In addition, all these appointments are synchronized with iCloud (or other service) and it is even possible to show your birthdays and holidays in Calendar.
In the Calendar app you have the option to create multiple calendars. Handy for work, private or other reasons. When you create a new appointment, the application automatically chooses the default agenda. For example, if you often have to schedule your work appointments, it is useful that Agenda automatically chooses work instead of private. You can set this for iPadOS, iOS, and macOS.

With the Calendar app you can easily keep track of your appointments, events and holidays. In the app you can create multiple calendars and give them a name and color. You can choose from standard colors, but you can also choose a custom color. This allows you to give a business appointment “Office meeting” a different color than, for example, a private appointment such as “Primary school workshop”.
This is not self-evident, in the old versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS you only had a choice of seven colors, three of which were very similar. Fortunately, nowadays you can choose your own colors so that the different agendas immediately stand out.
Link exact time to an Agenda appointment

Using the Calendar application you can easily manage your appointments and plan activities on your iPhone and iPad. You may have noticed that on an iPhone and iPad you can only schedule appointments every five minutes.
Strange because on the Mac and iCloud website you can enter this accurately to the minute. With the help of a trick it is possible to apply this accuracy under iOS on an iPhone or iPad. Good to know, this trick also works for the time display in Reminders.
Add attachments to Calendar events

Did you know you can add an attachment to Calendar events on an iPhone or iPad? This is not only possible via your Mac, but also via iOS and iPadOS. Adding attachments is a relief, especially for the business user.
This way, important documents can be linked directly to a meeting so that everyone has them at the start. But the extra functionality is also useful for the regular user, for example you can add theater tickets to the agenda item.
