Calendar will not show all previous dates. Is there an update or fix to access prior years events?

After update 15.1 or 15.2 older Calendar activity after one year is not accessible


iPhone 13

How about after iOS 1.0 was released 15 years ago calendar activity after one year is not searchable? The built in calendar has always only searched back one year. You can go to previous years, assuming you have the calendar set to keep all entries, but you can’t search. You need a 3rd party calendar app such as Fantastical or Week Calendar for a more robust search capability.

If I google “alien abductions” I will get a half million hits, so I consider Google useless for analyzing technical issues.


I’m on 15.2. My primary calendars (22 of them) are all iCloud, and I can view all of them back to before I first imported them from my Palm, back to 1999.


In the Calendar app tap on Calendars at the bottom of the screen. Are all calendars checked?


If you log in to https://icloud.com and click on Calendar do you see older entries?

Thank You


source is iCloud. I have logged out of I cloud and logged back in and still the same. I am not going to let my wife’s phone update to 15.2 as she may not be able to access older dates.


If you Google this issue you too will find many others with the same issue after the 15.1 or 15.2 update. I have tried numerous suggestions with zero success. I am hoping for a 15.3 fix soon.
