How do you add your All-Day calendar events to Notification Center in iOS 7?

Now that iOS 7 has been relseased, my All-Day calendar events do not show up in Notification Center. I can see my daily events, but things like Birthdays and other All-Day events do not show. How do I fix this? Or is this something that Apple needs to fix in an update?

iPhone 5, iOS 7

At this time it doesn't seem that this can be done. Been pointing folks to http://feedback.apple.com If you wouldn't mind dropping them a line, the more they hear it, the more likely it is to be fixed.

Mate I don't even get that, All Day Events don't show what so ever, doesn't even say you have an all day event, just says you have no events, I'm look at it thinking "but what about the massive one that last all day" So with it not showing on the calendar view either I've had to go through all my shifts and put them in with the start and end times which is a lame.


Before it was say "Late Shifts", now it talks about a meetings, such an oversight.

Naylor, one ' work around' in your calender is when in Monthly View is to use the magnifying Glass icon in the upper right corner... That will list your daily events at a glance... It's a bit of a drag but I've resorted to use this to check my all day events in a pinch.


But the fact that Apple totally forgot about the Notification center is super lame.

Yeh but if I open the calendar app I can see them anyway, I just watch to bring down the NC see what's up and move on.


Having notifications on a different pane is rubbish too, before you had missed calls emails texts etc weather and calendar all in one quick view, now you have the date written in massive letters, some nonsense about the weather that's already happened and then a novel about what's happening tomorrow. Moaning about the way the calendar events is one thing isn't it but let's be honest, the whole NC is rubbish in everyway.

I enter mine in from iCal:


-All day events show up as a generic "you have an all day event scheduled".


-If you do not select all day and set a time it will show up on the iphone as " you have 1(2,3...) event(s) and the first one starts at ____(AM/PM)" I also select busy or free depending on the event to give the visual time block.


-In iCal on the get info of the event select: alert>send message> and whenever you want and it will show a message in iCal and on your iPhone!

I choose: day before>and whatever time works best to have the notification


*also I just came across this you can try: Settings>Mail/Contact/Calanders>(scrolls down until)Default Alert Times>All-Day Events> (set your time). Let me know if that works for shared calanders when the user does not select an alert.

Default alert is a way of making it say "There is one all day event scheduled" but that is still utterly useless, I want to see the title of the **** event so I don't have to open the calendar app to see what it is.


I can not believe that the iOS 7 development team thought this was a good idea, of course the main fking thing you want to know about an event is it's title.


I will never ever go Android but iOS 7 is doing my head in.

The work around is explained in my post. I understand everyone's frustration, but imagine the alternate scenario. I have 17 meetings today, several all day events and some other shared calendars going on! It would fill my notification screen up with that, all my emails, text, etc. my notification screen would be about 7 screen lengths to scroll through! That almost negates being notified. It would become a cluster f#%^ of information. Apple is about simplicity. Glance at something and if you want to see more open the application. If it is important an enough event... create the alert, otherwise it just tells you you have something(s) going on. Hope this helps.

.....and like I've said all along this is not a bug this a change they've made to the design, everyone keeps saying they hope they fix this, they're not going to I don't think cause it's not a fault.


I don't accept your point though, it was was simply to provide an image of the weather, now you have to read the weather which is hardly 'at a glance'. Fine if you have 8000 different event in one day but showing the name of the all day event is so useful and back on iOS 6 etc all your items would stack in one easy view, it's only cause the new text based look it's laid out so ******* poorly that nothing fits in.


I maintain that the whole of the new NC is **** and I first posted here to talk about this not being a bug but an design choice which lacks functionality and use. This is the first time they have designed a change and taken away functionality or use. I'm sure once the jailbreak is released I can't customise this as I'd like, at least put a ******* picture of the sun when the suns out jeeeeze
