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.
