iPhone calendar keeping skipping back to same date

My calendar problem finally was fixed when I called Apple Support. The lady had me doodle in Settings, which I had already done several times. Then, she had me restart my phone, which I had already done multiple times. Wallah! My calendar was magically fixed. I'm pretty sure she sent the fix to my phone while I was doodling in Settings. Apple admits no issues.

I have also been plagued by this issue. The iPhone calendar constantly reverting to 2019. It’s incredibly frustrating and after hard restarting iPhone and deleting and re-adding the calendar account it still happens.

I’ve seen a minor improvement after calling Apple support-they asked me to do a few things like restart the phone etc-it’s still jumping to 2019 but it’s automatically jumps back to the correct day which I can live with.

Yep, this happens to me almost every time I open my calendar. It seems to happen when I open it and it’s in month view, then I click on the day to see the events. As soon as I click on the day it jumps back to September 2019z

I wonder if I may have found a common denominator... Did we all buy our phones in late 2019? Because I just looked and got mine in November 2019, which is the month the calendar keeps reverting to… I wonder if it’s a bug in phones purchased just from that time period?

So after 3 hours on with Apple Support, removed and reinstalled all calendars (by removing all mail accounts) I am no better off. They suggested timezone errors, location errors - but still no fix. The only thing that changed is instead of defaulting to 19Sept2019, it now defaults to 4Aug2020 (whish is interestingly exactly 1 year ago today) Bugga!

Same issue for me as well on iOS 14.7.1. I would add this has been an issue for me since iOS 13.0. I restart my phone once a week. I have removed all linked calendars, then relinked them. iOS Calendar app always goes back to September 2019. Something really important must be going on there that all of us on this thread need to know about?

This issue has happened for the last few years. My native calendar app reverts back to Oct 4 2019 which is the day I activated this iPhone 11 Pro. I have to click “today” in order to see relevant appointments, etc.

Hello DLDenver,

I had the same problem. I have reinstalled Calendar app and deleted many oldest items in my callendar. Now when I press Today button it does not take me back to December 2020 and everything seems to work OK now.

Best regards

Hey… nope… mine’s a 4 year old model… jumps back to Oct 22, 2019 (670 data’s ago… today). It does this each time I restart the calendar. Very consistent. Has anyone from Apple responded on here with an actual troubleshooting tag or an answer?

This has happened to me on two phones now, jumps me back to March 13th 2020 which happens to be the day our area shut down for the pandemic so it’s a little upsetting. I had an iPhone X and just in the last month got an iPhone 12 mini and it’s still happening on this phone…. Really wish there was a fix cause it’s super annoying and I don’t want to be reminded of that date anymore!

I thought I read a couple weeks ago on this thread that the next iOS version fixes this. Is that not the case? I realize the response was not directly from Apple.

(My last post was deleted by Apple because I referred to testing I didn’t realize that went against guidelines, apologies.)

I have exactly the same issue.. mine skips back to27Sep2019 on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.. not sure why.. I have had iPhones for many years.. would love to fix it.. it does not happen on my MacBook Air or iMac

This has been happening to me as well (with an iPhone 7s purchased in 2018 or so. It goes back to September 2019 EVERY TIME I open my calendar now, multiple times. It’s validating to learn I’m not alone but how can we get this fixed. Also, why is it happening more and more? Like it used to be once a day and now it’s always.

POTENTIAL FIX:

Open the calendar, click “calendar” at the bottom and turn off “US Holidays” and “Birthdays” calendars (located under the “Other” category in the calendar list). So far it comes up to the current day every time.

Not a perfect fix because those are nesded calendars to a heavy calendar user. However it’s less annoying to have to constantly click on “Today” since some days I need to check the calendar on an hourly basis. Apple we still need a fix that allows to use Holidays and Birthdays and that comes up to Today each time.

Apparently those are not supported on the calendar syncing settings or something.
