Default Calendar Date

When I open my phone it defaults to September 2019. I have to click on Today to get it right. And immediately after I add a calendar event-same thing; it defaults to September 2019. I am always having to check if I added the event correctly because as soon as I add an event-my calendar displays September 2019. Anyone else have this problem?

I have for a long time had the same issue. Can’t recall if was prior to getting my iPhone 11 though. My calendar will click back to October 2019. I don’t know a solution, but after following a suggestion from another thread (disable all calendars, close out app, open and click one calendar, close out app again, open, repeat for each calendar) I was able to pinpoint that somehow the problem lies with my boss’ shared outlook calendar. I figured this out because I did the above recommendations and one at a time added my own and family iCals and any other shared calendars. It didn’t happen at all until I turned his calendar back on. Then it did it immediately. No idea what that would mean- I might try deleting it and re-sharing it to myself though so maybe that will help. Will update if it does….

Mine has been defaulting to Sept 21 2019, too! It happened on the iPhone 8S I had before upgrading to the 12 last month— and its still happening on the 12.

it must be something in the iOS if was happening on an old phone and this brand new one, right?

how did y’all fix it? I had a funeral that weekend and every time it opens to that date, I’m reminded of a sad time. I even tried deleting the events to see if that was the problem, but nope. Always back to Sept 21.
