The built-in iOS application, Calendar, is the best place where we can keep track of all events scheduling to not miss any of them. The interesting part is that it doesn’t forces us to keep everything in one calendar. If you prefer to separate your personal life, with the one at work, or have a separate calendar with children activity or one for vacations, or whatever, with the Calendar, you can add as many calendars you want for what you want. Each calendar can assign a color to visually distinguish downstream activities depending on their type, you can hide or display each calendar separately and add events to any calendar you want, depending on its type and purpose. In short: the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is your best way that you can follow to stay organized.

Additional calendars are easy to add and set up, and if you ever think that you do not need them, they are as easy to erase.

How to create calendars on iPhone and iPad

  • Open the Calendar application from the home screen of your iOS device.
  • Click the Calendar button located on the left side of the screen.
  • Press the Edit button located in the top left of the iPhone and iPod touch screen, or the right side of the display menu.
  • In the section that displays all existing schedules, a calendar, click Add a calendar.
  • Type in the calendar name the name you want to assign the new calendar.
  • Choose color by clicking on it.
  • After you have entered the name and color you selected, press the OK button at the top right of the screen;
  • The new calendar will appear in the list of calendars. Click the OK button at the top left of the screen to finish editing the calendars.

The calendar has been added, and you can begin to create events and appointments. It can be later edited in the list of calendars by pressing the blue button with the arrow under its name.

How to delete calendars on iPhone and iPad

Before deleting a calendar, you should know that all events and appointments will be deleted. If you want to keep the calendar, but not to be displayed on your iOS device, then click on its name in the list of calendars to deselect it. A deselected calendar on the iPhone or iPad can still be viewed in iCloud (if it was created in iCloud) or Mac and can be further selected to be displayed on iOS, if you will reconsider.

  • Open the Calendar application from the home screen of your device’s iOS.
  • Click the Calendar button located on the left side of the screen.
  • Click on the blue arrow button located along calendar that you want to remove.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Delete calendar button.
  • Your iOS device will ask you to confirm the deletion, click the Delete button again.

The calendar will be deleted along with all the events in it and will not appear on the iPhone or your iPad.
