How to have multiple Google calendars on your iPhone

Now with each passing day the gap between iOS and Google is shrinking and more users are enjoying this phase. If you are an iPhone user then it doesn’t mean that you will not be able to get to know what your Google friends are up to. When your friends update notification in the Google calendar then even when you are an iPhone user, you will get the information from Google calendar right on time! Multiple calendar options enable you to keep yourself updated with all the important dates and notifications so that you don’t miss out on any occasion. When you are going to have multiple calendars just remember that the number of calendars you select without filtering through Google sync will give you more authority over your iPhone device. If you are to sync with CardDAV account, then it will need SSL1 in case you are using Apple devices along with iOS 5.0 versions or above.

Here is how you can get it done. Just follow the steps mentioned below and you will have multiple Google calendars on iPhone:

–          Go to settings from your home screen and then click on the option Mail, Contacts, Calendars

–          Under the Mail, Contacts, Calendars you will find add account option, click on that

–          You will find various options under add account like Yahoo, Gmail, Aol.,etc. and at the end you will find ‘Other’

–          In the Other settings you will find the option Add CalDAV account under the Calendars header

–          Now it will ask for some personal information like your Gmail username and password apart from server and Description. Here server name will be google.com and the description can be anything you want

–          Once you have entered this information click on Next to complete the setup

–          Now go to Calendar app that you will find on home screen

–          Select your Google calendars that you want to display

–          You can check which calendar you want and which one to hide by going into www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect from the browser and controlling the Google calendars.

Once you open the calendar app on your iPhone device you will be able to view all your Google calendars that you have selected. When the selection is made syncing is done automatically and for that you don’t need to follow any steps manually. If you want to share calendar then it is important that you do it manually as you will find the default setting is set off. There are so many activities that we do on a daily basis amongst which there is some which involve our family too. Therefore, if we update everything on the calendar, then every family member will be able to access it easily and be present at the event on time. This way you will be able to convey the message without calling them at odd hours. So now invitations for the family occasions or the school events have a new definition altogether.
