Create and manage events

Create calendar events

As you're creating an event, you'll see suggestions for the event titles, locations, people, and more. In some cases, these suggestions are personalized based on information associated with your Google account and your previously created events.

  1. Open the Calendar app and tap and Event.

  2. If you have multiple accounts, tap the account for the calendar you want.
  3. Enter the start time and other details.
  4. If you want a reminder sent to your status bar, tap Add notification and select how long before the event you want a reminder.
  5. Tap Save.

Edit or delete calendar events

  1. Touch an event to open it.
  2. Do any of the following:

    • To edit it, touch edit icon.
    • To delete it, touch more options icon > Delete.

Control which events are shown

To temporarily hide calendar events for a Google account you don't need to see all the time:

  1. Open the Calendar app and tap menu icon.
  2. Beneath the account name, tap Events to remove the checkbox. If you have multiple calendars for that account, ap the name of each calendar to hide its events.

    TipWhen you hide events, the calendar still syncs with your Google account. To prevent that account's calendar from automatically syncing, from the home screen go to Settings > Passwords, passkeys & accounts.

  1. Open the Calendar app .
  2. Tap menu icon then tap Settings > Events from Gmail.
  3. Under the name of the account, turn Show events from Gmail off .
