Step by step

1. 

   Turn on Calendar sync

   Open Settings, Accounts and backup, Manage accounts, tap your Google account and Sync account. The Calendar switch must be on.

   On our Galaxy, Contacts, Calendar and Gmail were all switched on, and Calendar showed Last synced on October 6, 2026 at 11:01. We blurred our email address.

   Done

2. 

   Sync now from the account

   Tap the three dots at the top right, then tap 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 to open the menu.

   On our Galaxy it lists My phone, two Google sections and Reminders, then Trash and Sync now.

   Done

4. 

   Open your Google account

   Tap the arrow next to the Google account you use on your computer to show its calendars. We blurred both account addresses.

   Done

5.

   On our Galaxy the account showed two calendars, its own calendar and Birthdays, and both were already ticked.

   Done

   Tap Sync now

   Tap Sync now at the bottom of the menu to refresh all calendars. Scroll down first if an open account list pushes it out of view.

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; on our phone the calendars are listed in the Calendar menu instead.

On other Galaxy phones and One UI versions a few names and positions may 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, three dots, Sync now. Calendar app, three lines: arrow next to Google, tick the calendars, Sync now.
