Calendar Confusion
It would’ve been Five stars for a very functional Google Calendar. It’s three stars though for Google’s poor documentation and lack of knowledge of their products.
I use Google apps on IOS devices and for the most part they function well.
My Google Calendar on my Windows laptop works perfectly. I could go back four years and all the old events are there.
However on the Google Calendar iOS app I could only see 12 months worth of events. After enabling the native iOS Calendar and playing with the settings I could see events older than 12 months. The Google Calendar is dependent on the native iOS Calendar for events older than 12 months.
Here’s Google’s response to my query before I figured it out:
“Welcome to the Google Calendar Help Forum.
As of now, the Google Calendar app can only sync events created in the past 12 months and the events remain forever in the Google Calendar web version. This is an intended behavior in Google Calendar app.
Id appreciate your feedback in this regards. Please feel free to share the feedback by following these steps:
On your iPhone or iPad, open the Calendar app .
In the top left, tap Menu Send feedback.
Write your feedback and tap Send .
