Calendar app changes time for event to four hours earlier

Yes, I totally agree. Once I dropped Google calendar all the issues I had with my calendar went away.

Not all external third party calendar issues can be fixed by Apple. Since Google knows that, there’s little incentive for them to fix a problem that makes Apple customers upset with their biggest competitor… Apple.

For those of us caught in the middle, getting upset or finding who’s at fault, doesn’t fix anything. Just pick the best available (perhaps compromised) option and move on the the more important things in life.

Yes go for a droid phone. It will make it easier for the big G to infiltrate your life and they are made for each other. It would not surprise me if G were pushing you towards their tatty droid system by such subterfuge.

I prefer to trust my life events to Apple and encrypted data servers.

Dropping Google for iCloud is not a solution.

iCloud+ handling of custom domains is so poor compared to Google.

I would appreciate if people who don’t have any actual solution for this problem just stopped replying.

We don’t need any fanboy war.

What is apple actually saying about this? This thread is in their domain so they “should” know about it. Hey apple, your iCal changes the time of my google events. Can you please make it stop? That would be great, thanks👍

I spent a considerable amount of time some pages ago working out from user evidence that the common factor was Google's calendar. No other calendar provider causes this problem on iphone.

I attach no blame to Google I merely say that the fix for Apple users with this fault is to stop using Google.

Call it a workaround if you feel better but for me it was a permanent fix some years ago.

The idea to swap to droid phones is equally valuable as a workaround. If you love Google ecosystem then go that way, The newest Samsung is slower than ip13 but a reasonable phone.

The fix would be for Apple to fix their issue with Google Calendar in iOS.

In Googles own calendar app this is fixed and not an issue.

Google is not going to do anything about this, I’ve already open a thread there months ago, https://support.google.com/calendar/thread/119027046/problem-with-whole-day-events?hl=en

I see almost the same behaviour, whenever I edit an all day event to make it for a specific time; changing an all day event to start at 10:00, after saving it, it makes the start time one hour later to 11:00. Then I need to edit it again to set it to 10:00 and save it, then it will take the correct time. Seems like basic calendar functionality that’s not working as expected. Seeing this on iphone and ipad.

Tacking onto this thread as I have the same exact issue. Switching all day event to a specific time moves the event 4 hours ahead of where it should be after a few seconds. Then when I edit it a second time it works correctly. This thread is quite thorough and it seems to be a bit of a circlejerk as Apple puts blame on Google and Google puts blame on Apple. It's not a major issue, the work around is simply editing the event twice, not so bad. But it is an annoying bug and I have have the issue consistently for quite awhile at this point, possibly as long as a year or so. Oh well, just want to pile on and see if this thread leads to any solutions in the future. Cheers.

WoahSango's comments described my issue as well. I just want to add a little for future viewers...

The issue appears to be due to the communication between Gmail and the iphone as my adjustment is 6 hours earlier, the exact difference my Gmail time zone setting is set up for (i.e. GMT-6:00). When I change my time zone in Gmail calendar settings to GMT-0:00, the editing error on my iphone goes away.

I'm hoping that this extra tidbit of info. helps someone find a permanent solution.

No fixes yet. Not expecting one anytime soon as this issue has been ongoing for me for a year or more. Luckily the workaround is not so arduous. But having to edit twice in this scenario is unnecessarily annoying.

No fix yet. However mine has now started to change the day and not take a new time. 2 new issues. I run my business off that app and seriously thinking about going Android for the business… naw😂 But I can’t find a cal app as easy to use as ical. I would pay for seamless sync.

I have the exact issue as all others complaining of this. XR. Mine is 5 hours ahead. It drives me crazy, my 8am appointment is 3am (-5hrs). I’ve tried everything under the sun.

Do you use Gmail and Google Calendar? Could this be the issue. I cannot delete Google, I use Gmail at work and it’s all synced to my phone. The location on my work computer is correct.

Thank you all for. I reported to Apple.

@Tatjanmama thank you and I’m glad that solution works for you. However, for myself, and I’m sure many others here, this is not an acceptable solution. I use my gmail calendar. I use it on my PC and elsewhere. I do not own a Mac and have no intention of switching to Apple iCloud calendar. This solution is switching calendar platforms rather than correcting the bug existing on gmail on iPhone. But am happy it works for you and thanks for sharing as others may be satisfied with this as well.

You say iOS, I say Google.

Who knows
