Gmail Calendar On Phone Not Syncing To Web Fix

If you're experiencing issues with your Gmail calendar on phone not syncing to web, don't worry, it's a common problem.

To troubleshoot, try restarting your phone and checking if the calendar syncs after the reboot. This simple step often resolves the issue.

If the steps above didn't work, there are a few more things you can try. Some of these steps only work on Android 9.0 and up, so make sure you check your Android version.

Settings can vary by phone, so if the steps here don't match your device, contact your device manufacturer.

First, try reading through these instructions on your computer while you try the steps on your mobile device. This might help you figure out what's going on.

Here are some specific steps to try:

It might take some time for your events to show up after you turn on sync.

If your device runs out of storage, the Calendar app stops syncing. Check your device's Storage section to see if you need to clear some space.

Here are some general tips:

If nothing else works, you can try clearing the Calendar app's storage and cache. Here's how:

If your Google Calendar isn't syncing on your iPhone or iPad, check if the calendar is hidden. To do this, open the Google Calendar app and tap the three-line menu in the top-left corner to expand the sidebar.

The calendar that's missing events is likely the one that needs to be turned on. Look for the checkbox next to the calendar and tap it to select it. This will allow events from that calendar to appear alongside your other visible Google Calendars.

Make sure "Show events from Gmail" is turned on for each connected calendar. This setting controls whether events automatically pulled from your Gmail are displayed in your calendar.

If you've added external calendars like Outlook or iCloud, you won't be able to reconnect them directly from the Google Calendar app. Instead, use the Google Calendar web app to manage or re-add these calendars.

Removing and re-adding your Google account can resolve the issue if your main Google Calendar isn't syncing. To do this, go to the account menu, select "Remove account", and then add it back again.

Low storage on your device can prevent calendar data from syncing properly. Check your available storage by going to the "Settings" app, then "General", and finally "iPhone Storage." If you have more than 10GB of space, it's unlikely that storage is the cause of your Google Calendar sync issues.

If your Google Calendar still isn't syncing, try reinstalling the app. To do this, go to the "Settings" app, tap "General", and then "iPhone Storage." Find the Google Calendar app and tap "Delete." Then, go back to the App Store and reinstall the app.

A different take: Create Gmail Account on Mobile Phone

To fix the issue of your Google Calendar mobile app not syncing with your desktop Google Calendar, you need to associate your mobile events with Google Calendar. This is because the iPhone's in-built calendar app stores events separately from Google Calendar.

To export your previously created events from the iPhone's in-built calendar, search for "export calendar events" in the App Store and download an app that can do this. Once you've exported your events, follow the import instructions in the Google Calendar help center to add them to your Google Calendar on your PC.

To enable calendar sync on your iPhone, go to the "Settings" app and tap on "Passwords & Accounts." Select your Gmail account and look for the toggle next to "Calendars." If it's not turned on, tap it to enable it.

If your iPhone calendar isn't syncing with Google, check your network connection. Go to "Settings" and select "Mobile Data" followed by "calendar." If the calendar is disabled, enable it.

If your Google Calendar on your phone isn't syncing to your web account, the problem might be with the sync settings on your phone.

To check if syncing is enabled, go to the "Settings" on your iPhone and tap on "Passwords & Accounts".

Select the Gmail account and you'll see a list of various Google services that can be synced or are synced to your iPhone.

Look for the toggle next to "Calendars" and make sure it's turned ON.

If it's already ON, you're good to go, but if it's not, turn it ON to enable syncing.

You can also check if the calendar is hidden on your device by opening the Google Calendar app and looking for the three-line menu (also known as the hamburger icon) in the top-left corner.

If the checkbox next to the calendar isn't selected, tap it to turn it on.

It's also a good idea to ensure that "Show events from Gmail" is turned on for each connected calendar.

If you're using an external calendar like Outlook or iCloud, you won't be able to reconnect it directly from the Google Calendar app on your phone, so you'll need to use the Google Calendar web app.

If you're still having issues, try removing the account and adding it back, or reinstalling the Google Calendar app.

If your phone is running low on storage, it can prevent calendar data from syncing properly, so make sure you have enough free space.

If your Gmail calendar on your phone still isn't syncing to the web, it's time to troubleshoot further.

First, check if your calendars are visible on the web version. Log in to your account from a desktop browser and confirm they exist.

If they do exist on the web, check the visibility settings and sync settings as mentioned earlier. If they're still not showing up, it's possible that the calendar app on your iPhone is not enabled for mobile data.

To fix this, go to Settings, select Mobile Data, and then find the calendar app. If it's disabled, enable it.

If you've checked all the above and your calendars still aren't syncing, run through the steps again to make sure everything is correct.
