My Apple calendar on my iPhone SE 2020 is only allowing me to go back exactly 1 year. I need to search for an event that is 4+ years old. I also searched the Google calendar app on phone and nothing. However, if I manually scroll all the way back to 2019, the event shows up.
I can search and find it on the calendar on my PC (Google calendar) but not on my iPhone.
Can anyone help?
nkbm,
On your iPhone you will need to make sure you have it set to sync call events, and that it's not limited by a certain time frame. You can do this on your iPhone in Settings > Calendar > Sync. Here you can set it to all events.
Best Regards.

Unfortunately, that has been the way the calendar has always worked. While it will display more information in the calendar, you can only do a search back for 12 months. You can provide feedback to Apple that you would like to see a change, but I've not seen one in all the time that I've used the iPhone. Here is the feedback link, Feedback - iPhone - Apple
And neither do I. Mine is set to All Events as well. While all events will sync, the ability to search back more than 12 months is not possible.
Hello nkbm,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
To learn more about this, does this happen with other calendar accounts as well, or only the Google one?
Since the event is that old, you might need to scroll to find it. This Apple Support page has the full details to Search for events in Calendar on Mac - Apple Support
This link has more details for If you don’t see your events in Calendar on Mac - Apple Support
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
Hi Justin_900. I don't have a Mac, just an iPhone. I want to search on my calendar on my iPhone - the one that comes w/ the iPhone, the calendar app (Apple calendar). I have my Default Calendar (under Settings) set to my Gmail/Google calendar. So that anything I add to the Google calendar from my PC (not a Mac), automatically shows up on the Apple calendar as well as the Google calendar. This is just what I want.
However... when I try to search the Apple calendar (on my iPhone) for an item that is more than 1 year old, it shows "No Results." And when I manually scroll all the way up, it stops at exactly the one year mark.
When I try to search the Google calendar (on my iPhone), it shows "No entries found." And when I manually swipe all the way back to 2019, the entry is there.
But, when I search the Google calendar on my PC, it works fine.
I use search for an event (and not a date), because I'm trying to find the date when the event occurred, i.e., when was my last eye exam or when did we go on that Hawaiian vacation, etc.
ChrisJ4203 - thanks for the reply. I can't imagine why Apple doesn't allow a search through the entire calendar. I do have it my iPhone set for "All Events" under Settings > Calendar > Sync.
c_luc9 - thanks for the reply. I do have it my iPhone set for "All Events" under Settings > Calendar > Sync. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
Calendar history not available??
