Syncing iCloud calendar to Google calendar

I haven’t had time to look at this because I don’t actually use google calendar. But I’m presuming this is specific to the iPhone only as your enabling system accounts when you “allow full access”. Similarly, I’m unable to view my wife’s google calendar unless I sign in with her account on my Mac. This doesn’t appear to be a setting that iCloud syncing uses.

You are correct. The only workaround that I know of for this is subscribing to the URL for each calendar on you want to view. However, that's read-only and I'm not sure if that would duplicate the items on your phone. Don't believe there's a better solution at the moment.

THANK YOU! The Bride wants to be able to use the Apple calendar and Google calendar. Everything I found on the internet seemed incomplete. We followed your steps and her Apple events appeared instantly on her Google calendar.

Thank you very much for your reply to the main question above.

I experienced something baffling. I entered events on my Apple Calendar app (I didn't have the Google Calendar app on the iPhone yet). When I opened my Google Calendar on the web, I saw all the events I entered on the Apple Calendar app on my Google Calendar! I don't know if I'd ever set anything on the Calendars, as I've not used Calendar before this. What baffles me more is that the events I entered were stored 'On My iPhone'.

Now, after seeing this Q&A thread, I've just installed the Google Calendar app on my iPhone. I opened it and found all my entries there as well. It seems to me that the calendars sync both on web and the apps.

Does anyone have any comment or explanation for any of the above occurrences I mentioned?

Thank you.

OMG! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been wanting to do this forever and could NOT figure out how.

Appreciate your taking time to type up an answer and provide it here. :)

So the two things:

I have not found a way to make it sync in the google calendar if you are talking about using google.com/calendar.

If you are using the built in calendar in MacOS this is possible. You would have to add the google calendar account under Settings > Accounts. Ensure that the calendar box is checked and you should be able to see it in that calendar app.

My guess is that you’re actually signed into your iPhone with your google account therefore your account in the Apple Calendar app is actually synced using your google account.

I am logged in with my wife’s google account on my iPhone so I can see/edit events for her as well. Similar premise IMHO.

If you want to view iCloud account calendar events on the Google Calendar web from a PC you can do this, however it is read only. You cannot make additions/edits to Apple Account calendar events from the Google Calendar web.

Everything (so my all diary entries) in my icalendar on my Mac computer, are being populated not using my Gmail account even though I have added it - its using my icloud account I think?...

All entires on my icalendar are syncing to my Google calendar on my phone - zero issue there, just not on the Google calendar on the browser version on my computer

All calendars are added with full access and all the boxes are checked and ticked... I'm just very confused about this

Thanks so much for this!! I still can't get it to show on my PC - my google calendar is basically blank - but I can see it all on my phone. Any ideas? I am trying to sync it all so that I can add to a calendly account and they only accept google calendars, outlook, or exchange.

Thank you!

Exactly what I was looking for! Worked perfectly, thank you.

Thank you for your instructions. I have moved to Google as well because I can no longer take the bugs associated with iCloud and Calendar. Here's to a better experience!

Wow I’ve been trying to do this for ages - you have made my life so much better thanks

Just brilliant response and solution, this saved me hours of continued frustration and pain. Thank you!
