iOS 15.1 Calendar issues for iPhone

Awful Awful Awful. I work from my phone with heavy calendar work and this has been a HUGE issue for my productivity. Having to constantly close it out- re open every time I need to look at a new day.

Hello Jerrylmusic,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with your calendar events after updating to iOS 15.1. Try the steps listed here to see if they resolve the issue: If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync

If they don't, we recommend reaching out to Apple directly to further investigate here: Get Support

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple's participation here is minimal. They don't read here for suggestions or feedback. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Product Feedback - Apple

For the record, I have both an Exchange and a Gmail account and have no calendar issues. Unfortunately for those people who do have this problem, it doesn't seem to affect all (or even most people). This means it's going to be a lot more difficult for Apple (and/or MS) to figure out where the problem lies.

I have the exact same problem too and it appears to be linked to the MS Exchange account. When I delete the Exchange account, my iCloud and gmail calendars work fine. Exchange is the culprit. What is the fix, please?

Also really fed up with this. Apple made me swap my phone when it first started and everything. Apple clearly has no clue what is going on or how to fix it. This must be pretty embarrassing since it’s going on three months with no resolution. Calendar is literally unusable like this and the trick to switch views hasn’t helped on my iPhone 13 Pro at all. For a phone this fast to load calendar items this slowly and often incorrectly is just a joke. What gives??

I’m on an iPhone 11. Just updated to ios15.1 and it’s completely scrambling all my appointments on all days. It’s completely unusable. It’s doing this for all my accounts and mailboxes (iCal, Google, outlook, hotmail.) How could you release a version without QA-ing a basic feature line this? Absolutely unacceptable. The only reason I updated to this iOS version (from the nice stable version I was on 14.1) was because we were forced to to be able to show our vaccine passports in the health app wallet - why we couldn’t do that on the old version is beyond me but to force us to update to this unstable version is really upsetting.

That’s wonderful news for you but it doesn’t mean many many other people aren’t having this issue. Ever since I did the most recent update. Never an issue before.

and It’s not a matter of what type of email. It’s an issue with the calendar app itself. When you change to a new date it shows the wrong dates items regardless of what account your viewing. You have to continually close it out and reopen.

I never said that other people weren't having a problem. I think you've missed my point which is that, because it seems to be a fairly small percentage of users, it's not going to be high up on Apple's priority list and it's going to be hard to figure out. That makes it all the more crucial that you submit feedback to Apple. The more data they have, the more likely there will be some movement.

Some people seem to be having an issue with the calendar if they have an Exchange account on their phones. So, yes, for some people the type of account matters. I have an Exchange account and have no problems. This is an example of why it's going to be hard to figure out the source of the problem. If everyone (or even most people) who have Exchange (or Gmail or Yahoo or whatever) accounts on their phones were having this problem, that would be an obvious place to start. But that's not what's happening.

So, submit feedback. Encourage anyone else you know who's having the same problem to do likewise.

How much feedback do Apple need? Unhelpful agent told me to log in and out of the Calendar account…. And iCloud.

neither solved the problem, the latter just wasted hours re downloading my phone content.

They need as much as possible. The more people who submit feedback, the more complete the picture they get of the problem and the more data they have. In the time you posted here (which accomplished nothing toward solving the issue), you could have provided Apple with useful information.

Just to be clear, switching to Week view is not a “workaround.” It doesn’t result in the desired, expected, promised functionality. I rely on quick, easy use of the calendar many many times each day, and this has me switching to Google calendar.

I have Just upgraded to 15.1 on my iPhone XS and found exactly the same issue with Calendar that you have found. The calendar freezes and has a major lag between days and appointments. This is totally unacceptable.

Thanks for the work around but I do hope that the Bug is sorted out ASAP.
