iPhone calendar keeping skipping back to same date

What worked for me: My calendar kept flipping back to the same day, February 18, 2020. I saw that I had over 30 events on that day I had set to repeat daily, and a few of those continued to today. I deleted all the events for that day and that seem to have remedied the situation. Hope this works for you, good luck!

If there is one specific date that you keep getting flipped back to, see if you have one or more repeating events on that date. Try deleting those events and see if that fixes it. I kept getting flipped back to Feb. 28, 2020. I had numerous (over 30) daily repeating events that day, a few of which continued to today. I deleted them all and that fixed it.

I’m assuming, having trawled the replies, that apple has given up responding. I’ve found that a hammer stops this from happening again. But it’s a bit of an issue as that seems to disable all the other functions as well.

I am a newer first time smartphone user and the apple iphone was recommended as an easier transition to a smartphone, but honestly, apple has some much needed fixes. First and foremost is the issue with the calendar flipping back to 2020! I got this phone in May 2021 and the calendar was fine until the first update. Thats when it started flipping back and hasnt been corrected since. I have entered calendar reminders on the wrong dates because of it. Seriously apple….Why has there not been an update to fix this yet???

Supposedly iOS15 takes care of this issue, but I saw someone post earlier that they still have the issue after updating. It’s pretty frustrating. It appears Apple has been unable to figure this one out.

I have found a solution to this very annoying feature. If you delete the first event entry in your calendar- this is the date that your calendar flicks back to in my case 22/10/2019, it stops flicking back to October 2019 now and stays in the current month of 2021. I had a eureka moment hopefully this works for all those suffering from the same problem.

I posted a similar solution and it turned out to be a temporary fix, about a week or so. It's now flipping to a "new" old month (March 2020) after I deleted all entries for the prior problem month of Feb. 2020.

So I’ve been having the same issue for a long time (calendar opening to September 19, 2019 even though it’s now October 2021). After reading through this whole thread I tried the suggested solution of turning off US holidays. That worked; I re-opened my calendar and it opened to today. Then I clicked on Thursday, November 25, 2021 because that’s Thanksgiving day and I wanted to see if the calendar showed that it was thanksgiving day. It did not since I had turned off US holidays calendar. I closed the calendar app and re-opened it (US holidays still turned off), and lo and behold the calendar opened to November 25, 2021, the exact date that had been open when I closed the Calendar app, not the current date. This led me to believe that whenever you make a setting change in the calendar app then your calendar starts opening to whatever date was last open when you closed the app, rather than the current day. So I did some experimenting, changing settings and then going to some random date, closing the app, then re-opening the app and sure enough each time it opens to whatever random date I was on when I closed the Calendar app. Still no permanent fix, but as far as I can tell the best solution is to make sure that you are on “today” when you close the app after making a change in settings.

I’m using 15 and it’s still skipping back to last year. It just did it again now.

it’s so annoying because I see appointments that I didn’t know I had and then I realize oh I’m in last year after my heart skips a beat.

My Calendar App does this as well. Keeps going to Sept 2019 !! Annoying !!! Currently Im using iPhone 12 Pro Max

I restart it regularly. This shouldn’t happen. It’s been going on thru various updates and phones

Well, I was going to comment yesterday that I upgraded to iOS 15.1 and it solved my issue. It worked well yesterday, but not today. For some reason now, it only goes one year back to November 11, 2020. Pretty random & still frustrating. I would have thought that Apple would have figured this out by now.

I wish Apple could figure this one out. Twice this month, I have screwed up a calendar, appointment because it’s going back to November 2020. I wouldn’t have thought this would be that difficult to troubleshoot and come up with a solution.

Been frustrated with this for months. Somewhere on this thread it mentioned to disable the “US holidays” calendar and guess what - it worked for me.

Don’t know what the root cause is or when it actually started, but that was my workaround/fix for now. @Apple hope you find this and fix it in 15.2.
