As an iPhone, iPad or Mac user, you can easily synchronize all your calendar appointments and activities with all your devices thanks to iCloud. Not only can you view your appointments on all your devices, you can also easily share your calendar with others.
This can be useful if, for example, you want to share your work calendar with your colleagues or partner. You can share a calendar in three different ways: via iOS, macOS or even via the iCloud website.
The steps below are suitable for all iCloud users. Calendar sharing should only be set up in one location. So if you share a calendar via iOS, it will also be synchronized with your Mac.
Share calendar via iPhone or iPad
- Open the Calendar application
- Navigate to ‘Calendars’ at the bottom
- Tap the i button next to the calendar
- Select ‘Add someone’ under ‘Shared with’
- Search for the contact and add it
The person will then receive an invitation that he or she must accept, from then on they can view the agenda. Then tap View/Change to adjust the shared calendar settings for this person. This way you can set whether they can edit the calendar or stop sharing.
Share via Calendar for Mac
- Open the Calendar application
- Select a calendar
- Place the mouse pointer over the selected calendar
- Click on the share symbol (user symbol or waves)
- Then click ‘Share with’
- Now enter the name or email address
- Confirm by clicking ‘Done’
Click on the share icon and then on the contact to change sharing. This way you can set whether the person is allowed to read and/or write the agenda.
Share calendar via the iCloud website
Finally, you can also share a calendar via the iCloud.com website. Log in with your iCloud account and open the Calendar settings. Click on the share symbol (silhouette) next to the agenda and follow the steps on the screen. You can then enter the name or email address and, just like on the Mac, you can adjust reading and writing by clicking on the name.
