Question about syncing calendars

iOS and iPadOS

Okay, in danger of being stupid I ask this.
Is there a way to sync my calendar on my iPhone to my iPad because right now it is not synced at all and I cannot seem to do that.

Sabrina:

No such thing as a stupid question. Yes, you should certainly be able to sync the calendar on your iPhone and iPad. The key to doing this is ensuring both devices are using the same calendar. If, for example, you have a Gmail account on your phone, you probably have both the Google calendar and the iCloud calendars available. If you go to settings and then select calendars, you can choose your default calendar. Unless you have a reason to use something else, such as if you are using Microsoft Exchange on any of your devices, I would recommend using the iCloud calendar. Once you have done this, you also want to make sure calendars are set to on under iCloud. To do this, select your name, which should be one of the first opptions in Settings. Then select iCloud. Move to Calendars and make sure this is on.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. There we go.
I am using a diary app that uses my calendar so I needed it synced. I had accidentally turned off syncronization on my iPad in iCloud settings so that was the problem. I didn’t think of checking that before.
