How to set up a personal Calendar for myself without sharing it?

My son’s family shares their calendar with me, which is great, but is there a way I can make a personal calendar for myself that is not shared?

Hi Lilley S,


  1. Open the Calendar app.
  2. Tap on Calendars.


Here you should see all the calendars you subscribed and/or created. If you want to create a new one just for you, feel free to tap that Add Calendar button and give it a name and color!


When creating a new event, there is an option about halfway down called Calendar. Select the calendar you want to share that event with. Whether it’s a personal calendar you’ve created or a shared calendar with multiple people.
