Q: No week numbers in the iOS calendar!

Tell Apple here... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Apple will never provide such feedback to a suggestion you make. The only way you'll know if they plan such a feature is when it appears in an iOS update.

Regards.

Sorry, you won't get a reply from Apple, as stated when you submitted the feedback.

iOS 8 brings it.

Or you can just use the link I posted a year ago...

Sure, but that's a hack. I was just reporting that the iOS calendar now has this feature built in.

Except it doesn't.

It should in the future.

According to the link, «In this calendar each week number is a week-long event. If you want shorter events (for example, only Mondays), please visit webcal.fi/en/ and personalize your subscription.». Having a week-long event that shows a week number isn't the same thing as built-in feature. For instance the Calendar.app on Mac OS has a built-in option that allows one to put a numbered label on each week, an option that the iOS calendar lacks. According to the Mac built-in British English dictionary, a hack can be «a piece of computer code which performs some function, especially an unofficial alternative or addition to a commercial program». I'd say this is a hack, unless I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something. But we can agree to disagree.

This followed my original comment where I said «iOS 8 brings it» [this feature], but maybe it wasn't clear. Yes, iOS 8 is not out yet for the public, I agree, and I did not pretend to say it was. But the latest iOS 8 beta does include that functionality and I merely wanted to convey this information with my post – it was clear from your almost year-old posting that there is a solution to the original question.

If you are a developer you just violated your NDA by posting that information here.

And if you are not a developer, you pirated the software.

Deggie and ChrisJ4203 – this feature has been revealed publicly elsewhere:

Calendar - There are new options for alternate Calendars, including Chinese, Hebrew, and Islamic. There's also an option to display week numbers. Calendar events can also be declined with a comment. (in http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-8-features/)

Here's another location stating the same: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/whats-new-in-ios-8-for-ipad-i phone-ipod-touch/.

I am not aware that posting this here is a violation of the forum's terms of usage, but if deemed so, I'd be glad to have a moderator remove my comments.
