Apple Calendar
Here's how to add a shared Capacitly calendar using the built-in Calendar app on your iPhone.
What you'll need: The subscription link that was shared with you (it starts with webcal:// or https://) and your iPhone.
Option A: Tap the Link Directly
This is the easiest method and works most of the time.
- Open the message containing the shared link on your iPhone.
- Tap the subscription link.
- Your iPhone will open a prompt that says "Subscribe to calendar?"
- Tap Subscribe.
- You'll see a confirmation screen. Tap Done.
That's it! The shared events will now appear in your Apple Calendar app.
Don't see the events? Sometimes the new calendar doesn't show up as visible by default. Open the Calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen, and look for the subscribed calendar. Make sure the checkbox next to it is checked. If it's unchecked, just tap it and your events will appear.
Option B: Add Manually via Settings
If tapping the link doesn't work (for example, if you got the link on a computer), you can add it manually.
- Copy the subscription link to your clipboard.
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap Calendar.
- Tap Accounts.
- Tap Add Account.
- Tap Other.
- Under Calendars, tap Add Subscribed Calendar.
- Paste the subscription link into the Server field.
- Tap Next, then tap Save.
Tip: The calendar will auto-refresh periodically. To force a refresh, open the Calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom, then pull down to refresh.
How to Unsubscribe
- Open Settings > Calendar > Accounts.
- Tap the Subscribed Calendars account.
- Tap the calendar you want to remove.
- Tap Delete Account.
