Set up iOS Calendar synchronisation
To synchronise your shifts with the iOS Calendar app first log into the Planday app on your iPhone then follow these steps:
1. Tap your profile icon
2. Press Sync with your calendar option
3. Choose Sync with Calendar option from the list
4. Press Subscribe when you are asked to add a subscription
5. You will be shown a preview of your calendar, press Add
Your shifts will now be added to the Calendar app and can be found in the Subscribed section under Calendars. By default, you will also get alerts before your shift starts.
How to refresh the Calendar app
Your iPhone may have a pull or fetch setting based on how often it synchronises with an external calendar. To manually refresh the iOS Calendar app you can follow these steps:
Open the iPhone's Calendar app.
Press Calendars from the bottom of the screen.
Swipe down on the list to manually refresh the calendar list.
To view or update your Calendar app’s update frequency on iOS, go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Fetch New Data. Here you can set how often the calendar app should fetch new data, for example, Automatically, Hourly or Every 15 minutes.
Please note:
Calendar sync isn't instant, so new shifts may not appear immediately. We advise using the Planday app for real-time updates. If there are Calendar app sync issues, contact Apple support.
