How Can I Get a Calendar to Show Up on My Phone?

May 1, 2017 5:40 AM

I have an LG G4 Android phone. I am using the Google Calendar app on the phone. I have added a couple of calendars through the Google Calendar website from TeamSnap (using the provided urls from the TeamSnap website). The calendars show up fine on the Google Calendar website and are listed under "Other calendars" on the sidebar. However, they do not appear on my phone in either the widget I use or the Google Calendar app when I open it. Can anyone assist or explain? Thanks!

On the Google Calendar App, have you checked the sidebar (icon is 3 stacked lines), and ensured that "Other Calendars" is checked under your email address, along with the other calendars?

If you do what Karaage said and don't see them listed, scroll to the bottom of the menu and choose Settings. You should see ALL calendars listed there and can choose to Sync ones that aren't currently synced.

Best answer: You may need to check (or uncheck and recheck) the "Sync Calendar" option in your phone's Accounts menu. On my Samsung S7 (Android 7) this is under Settings > Cloud and accounts > Accounts > Google. If Google isn't listed under Accounts, there should be an option to add it first.
