Hey there, friends! It’s your Holiday Little Assistant here, ready to help you out with all things related to public holidays. Today, we’re tackling a super common question I get from folks: how to put holidays on your iPhone calendar<\/b>. Whether you’re trying to keep track of upcoming days off or just want to make sure you don’t miss any important celebrations, I’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in! <\/p>\n
First off, let me just say that adding holidays to your iPhone calendar is way easier than you might think. Apple actually makes it pretty straightforward, but I know some of the steps can be a little confusing if you’re not super tech-savvy. Don’t worry – I’ll walk you through everything in plain English, no confusing tech jargon here! <\/p>\n
Before we get into the how-to part, let’s talk about why you’d want to do this in the first place. Having holidays on your calendar is super helpful for planning ahead. You’ll know when banks and government offices are closed, when kids are out of school, and when you might get that sweet, sweet three-day weekend. Plus, it’s great for remembering cultural celebrations even if they’re not official days off in your area. Trust me, your future self will thank you when you’re not the only one showing up to work on a holiday! <\/p>\n
Okay, let’s get to the good stuff. Here’s the simplest method to get those holidays showing up on your iPhone: <\/p>\n
1. Open your Calendar app (that’s the one with the little square and the date on it).
\n
2. Tap “Calendars” at the bottom of the screen.
\n
3. Scroll down and look for “Add Calendar.”
\n
4. Choose “Subscribe to Calendar.”
\n
5. In the field that pops up, enter this: “webcal:\/\/p30-calendars.icloud.com\/holidays\/US_Holidays.ics” (for US holidays – keep reading for other countries!).
\n
6. Tap “Subscribe” and then “Add.”<\/p>\n
Boom! You should now see all the major US holidays on your calendar. The best part? These will update automatically every year, so you only have to do this once. <\/p>\n
Not in the US? No problem! You can easily find holiday calendars for pretty much any country. Just search online for “[Your Country] holiday calendar ICS file” and follow the same steps above using that link instead. Many governments actually provide these calendars for free. For example, if you’re in the UK, you might use a link like “webcal:\/\/www.gov.uk\/bank-holidays\/england-and-wales.ics”. <\/p>\n
Sometimes those subscription links can be fussy. If you’re having trouble, here’s another method: <\/p>\n
1. Go to Settings on your iPhone.
\n
2. Scroll down and tap “Calendar.”
\n
3. Tap “Accounts.”
\n
4. Choose “Add Account.”
\n
5. Select “Other.”
\n
6. Tap “Add Subscribed Calendar.”
\n
7. Enter the holiday calendar URL here instead.<\/p>\n
This backdoor method often works when the first approach doesn’t. Also, make sure you’re connected to WiFi – sometimes these subscriptions won’t go through on cellular data for some reason. <\/p>\n
Want to make your holidays stand out even more? You can assign them their own special color: <\/p>\n
1. Open Calendar and tap “Calendars” at the bottom.
\n
2. Find your holiday calendar in the list (it might be called “US Holidays” or something similar).
\n
3. Tap the “i” icon next to it.
\n
4. Choose a color from the options.
\n
5. Tap “Done.”<\/p>\n
Now all your holidays will show up in that color, making them easy to spot at a glance. Pretty neat, right? <\/p>\n
Will this drain my battery?<\/b> Nope! These calendar subscriptions use barely any power or data. <\/p>\n
Can I add multiple countries’ holidays?<\/b> Absolutely! Just subscribe to each country’s calendar separately. <\/p>\n
Why don’t all holidays show up?<\/b> Some calendars only include major public holidays – you might need to manually add religious or local observances. <\/p>\n
How do I remove holidays later?<\/b> Just go to Calendars, tap the “i” next to the holiday calendar, and choose “Delete Calendar.” <\/p>\n
Can I share this with family?<\/b> Yes! When viewing the calendar details, there’s usually a “Share Calendar” option. <\/p>\n
And there you have it, folks! Everything you need to know about how to put holidays on your iPhone calendar<\/b>. Whether you’re planning vacations, scheduling important meetings, or just don’t want to be the only one who forgot about Memorial Day, this simple trick will keep you in the know all year round. <\/p>\n
Remember, your Holiday Little Assistant is always here to help with any other public holiday questions you might have. Now go forth and enjoy those well-deserved days off – and maybe set a reminder for the next one so you’ve got something to look forward to! <\/p>\n
