iOS update deleted calendar events

Hello,


After updating my iOS to the newest version 17.1.1 I noticed that absolutely all of my events were deleted. I had very important info written there. Any ideas why this happened and if I could restore them without iCloud ?


(In settings I have the sync for All events as always so that's not the issue)


thank you very much 🙏

After the update my calendar has gone entirely blank! I don’t see it turned off anywhere. This is my life past and present I NEED my calendar. If this is what you do with updates don’t do anymore!!!!

"iOS update deleted calendar events: I managed to recover all my missing events. Settings -> My Calendar -> (turn on) Reminders, then (select) Calendars: Full Access (Allow Full Access) Mine was set on Add Events Only for some reason, before, but now all my Past Events showed up This worked for me, I hope it might help other users having the same issue. Be safe"

Excellent job troubleshooting!


That's for spreading the word! It will help many for certain.

I have no clue where “My Calendar” is, only Calendar and everything else you mentioned just isn’t there. Maybe my iPhone is too old? It’s a 12 Pro Max.

The last update that Apple just did erased everything that I put in my iPhone including death dates and future appointments and I don’t get why it was wiped. I had changed my iPhone email and don’t think that had anything to do with it.

Troubleshooting Calendar Evens After an iOS Update that worked for me


  • Reenable Calendar in iCloud:

Disable Contacts in iCloud Settings and then enable it. This would result in a refresh.

On the iPhone:

  1. Click: Settings
  2. Tap: your Name (top item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Calendar (so that it is greyed-out)
  5. Tap: Calendar (so that it is green)


NEXT


  • Restart:

Restart your iPhone, and see if it then is fixed.


This worked for me. I hope it does for you too. This last update really messed with my phone having it restart randomly through out the day or during calls. I hope they implement a fix.

In the past I have had samsung phones. I switched to iphone 13 two years ago and continued using google calendar because I had all my information on it. Everything was fine until the most recent update when all my past, current, and future events were deleted. So far, the recovery suggestions I have seen are for the Apple calendar. Why did the update ruin my google calendar and how do I fix it?????

I am having this same issue after updating to iOS 17.3.1 and the update the week before. I noticed all of my calendars from my iPhone 12 went missing about 2 days after updating.


I contacted Apple and they troubleshooted with me over the phone for about an hour. We tried refreshing the calendars, resetting network settings, reloading a backup that was a few days old from iCloud. The Apple associate did confirm that my calendars were indeed synched in iCloud. It took a really long time for the calendar from iCloud to load back on my iPhone


about a week later, my phone did another update to 17.3.1. On Sunday, I noticed that all of my calendars again had gone missing from my iPhone 12. I contacted Apple again and gave them the case number from before. They escalated my issue from senior advisor to the engineers. I am still waiting for them to get back to me (they are supposed to call me tomorrow evening)


I use my calendar for work (I am a teacher) and I have a ton of deadline, appointments, meetings, online trainings, etc that I no longer have access to. I would just like my stuff back.

They're stored at my house on the other coast, which I won't be back to for six months. The Coinbase Wallet is supposed to use 2 factor authenticator on the iPhone to log in but Apple logged me all the way out so I need the 12 word phrase to log back in.

Inconvenient though it is, it's not Apple's fault that you don't have access to your credentials. What if your phone had been lost or destroyed?
