How to Add Any Calendar Account to Apple Calendar (iPhone & Mac)

Apple Calendar supports Google, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Exchange, Yahoo, AOL, and generic CalDAV out of the box. Setup is the same for all.

Step-by-step

  1. On iPhone/iPad: Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account.
  2. Pick the provider (Google, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo, etc.) or Other for generic CalDAV.
  3. Sign in with email and password — for Google and Microsoft you'll be redirected to their sign-in pages.
  4. Approve calendar (and optionally contacts and mail) access.
  5. Toggle Calendars on, then return to the Calendar app — the new calendar appears in seconds.

Generic CalDAV (Fastmail, iCloud, Nextcloud, etc.)

Choose Other → Add CalDAV Account. You'll need the server URL, your username, and password. Fastmail uses caldav.fastmail.com, Nextcloud uses your instance URL + /remote.php/dav.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add multiple Google accounts?
Yes — repeat the steps for each one. They each become separate accounts in the Calendar app.
Why don't my events appear after adding the account?
Pull-to-refresh in the Calendar app. If still missing, check that the Calendars toggle is on for the account, and check Calendars in the app's bottom bar to enable individual sub-calendars.
