Australian public holiday dates not on iPhone for 2022

I have been going around in circles trying to work out why my iPhone calendar won’t show Australian public holidays past 31/01/2021. Is it possible apple hasn’t updated at their end?

I have seen that others are having the same issue.

I have restarted my phone, I have closed the calendar app and reopened it, I have made certain the Australian holiday calendar is selected.

The below photo is a screen shot from another user who pasted a link to the Australian holiday calendar. The calendar runs out of dates on the 31st of December 2021!!!

I'm not sure which state you live in but I found official public holiday dates, school dates etc @ vic.gov.au/ical.

You just tap on the downloads and they can be added to your calendar. Was very easy.

It still frustrates me that Apple couldn't have this already done for our region, it would seem an easy and logical thing to add public holiday dates a few years in advance.

You're welcome 🙂

Maybe using the feedback link would be a way to let Apple know about our wishes:

Yes, Apple always updates their calendars at the beginning of the new year.

I subscribed to a 3rd party calendar, that already has this info for 2022, to be able to see the info prior to the update.

Thank you for this answer.

I wonder why they don’t populate the dates a year or two ahead, it’s quite unhelpful of apple.

I’ll look into the 3rd party option.
