Step by step

1. 

   Turn on Calendar sync

   Open Settings, Accounts and backup, Manage accounts, tap your Google account and Sync account. Calendar must be on. Ours last synced on 6 October. We blurred our email address.

   Done

2. 

   Sync now from the account

   Tap the three dots at the top right and Sync now to fetch events straight away.

   Done

3. 

   Open the Calendar menu

   Open Samsung Calendar and tap the three lines at the top left. The menu lists every account with calendars: My phone, each Google account and Reminders.

   Done

4. 

   Tick the Google calendars

   Tap the arrow next to your Google account to show its calendars and tick the ones you want to see. We have two Google accounts; we blurred both.

   Done

5. 

   Tap Sync now

   Sync now at the bottom of the menu refreshes all calendars.

   Done

About this guide

Samsung Calendar shows Google events only if the phone syncs your Google calendar and the calendar is ticked in the app. Older guides send you to a Manage calendars page that One UI 8.5 no longer has. We only looked at these screens on our phone and changed nothing.

The screenshots are from a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with One UI 8.5 and Android 16, in Dark mode. Other Galaxy phones on One UI 8 use the same menus; on older One UI versions a few names and positions differ.

Good to know

New events made on the phone go to the calendar you pick when you save them. Events saved to My phone stay on the phone and never reach Google.

If events still do not appear, check that you are signed in to the same Google account as on your computer.

In short: Settings, Accounts and backup, Manage accounts, Google, Sync account: Calendar on. Calendar app, menu: tick the Google calendars, Sync now.
