Per the attached picture, my iPhone has a calendar account called 'On My iPhone'. I'm looking at another individuals iPhone, and they do not have this account. Why is that? It's also not an option when I try to add a new calendar account to their iPhone. They only appear to have the iCloud account.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
Hello justadam,
It sounds as though you’re asking about the On My iPhone category in the Calendar application, and you’ve come to a great place for help! The On My iPhone section is not a separate account, but rather calendars that are stored on your iPhone versus an account such as iCloud.
If you’d like for your Calendar events to save to iCloud only, you can choose your Default Calendar in Settings > Calendar > Default Calendar.
You can find additional information about setting up multiple calendars on your iPhone via the following article.

That’s a great question Adam.
On My iPhone can appear if events were saved locally prior to adding an account such as iCloud. If you would like to provide feedback about the Calendar application, and the difference in options. You can do so online via the Product Feedback website.
Take care!
Hi Sharon,
Thank you for your reply. I do understand the on my iPhone calendar is basically the local calendar on my iPhone. i.e. non cloud calendar.
I guess my question is why does my friends iPhone calendar not have the on my iPhone calendar option like I do in the screen shot?
