Share iCloud calendars
With Family Sharing, a calendar shared with all the members of your family is
created automatically. See Family Sharing (on page) . You can also share an
iCloud calendar with other iCloud users. When you share a calendar, others can
see it, and you can let them add or change events. You can also share a read-
only version that anyone can view.
Create an iCloud calendar.
Tap Calendars, tap Edit, then tap Add Calendar in the iCloud section.
Share an iCloud calendar.
Tap Calendars, tap Edit, then tap the iCloud calendar you want to share. Tap

Those you invite receive an email invitation to join the calendar, but they need an
iCloud account to accept.
Change a person’s access to a shared calendar.
Tap Calendars, tap Edit, tap the shared calendar, then tap the person. You can

calendar, or stop sharing the calendar with that person.
Turn off notifications for shared calendars.
When someone modifies a shared calendar, you’re notified of the change. To
turn off notifications for shared calendars, go to Settings > Notifications >
Calendar > Shared Calendar Changes.
