Shared google calendar broke on iOS

Hello all,

After the apple announcement today, my wife noticed that my shared google calendar with her is no longer appearing on her iphone. I also noticed that her shared calendar is no longer appearing on my ipad. I restarted the ipad without any success. The shared calendar is visible through the browser and on the Calendar program on my Mac. This seems to be an iOS problem. Anybody experiancing the same issue? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

That is actually funny, when people say that after update, my wife stopped cooking. After announsment even better, my Mail stopped working.... etc.

you guys using icloud and icloud is kind of it's own server, just like Google sync it's own server. They don't play together, cause they like banks, who will not share your accounts with each other. So go to settings-icloud- and if you have that little blue switch for calendars "ON", think long and hard what do you want. Google or Icloud. Google - then turn it off.

If I am completely of base (stuff happens), sorry

Thank you for he help. Unfortunatly it did not work. My Google calendar syncs fine, howerver the trouble is in the Google shared calendars. I can see my calendar, but none of hers, and she can see her google calendar but not mine. It used to work fine. It also still works on the Mac. This seems to be an iOS problem.

Try to sign-in to your Google account at: https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect

and check all shared calendars I'd like to see on your iPhone, then tap Save button. Hope it helps, E.

Eddie that worked. I didn't know this was available and now I can see my shared Google calendars on my iPad also (including my iPhone 5 - both on IOS6). Thanks a bunch!

I was able to get my shared calendars to show up in my iPhone Calendar list only after visiting https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/ in the iPhone Safari browser. That page lets me manage the Google Sync devices (e.g. iPhone, iPad), each has its own Settings page where I must click the checkbox to sync each shared calendar. Once I saved those device-specific settings, I was able to see the extra calendars on the iPhone.
