iPhone iOS 9 Calendar problem

I upgraded two iPhones 5s to IOS 9 this past week. In Calendar, when I have the month view up, I use to be able to touch any day and that day would show up. Now, nothing happens when I touch a specific day. This is not an upgrade but a bug. One should be able to look ahead at any date to see what is scheduled.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1

I'm glad it worked for you. Sorry hasn't fixed my problem. Maybe different. I can tap a date sometimes and get a black dot, like I always did on iphone. Other times, I can't get a black dot on the date. It's not a change in functionality. It simply works sometimes and not other times. To get it to work, I must page forward months ahead and then go back to the month that wasn't showing the black dot. Worse, I bought two of SE phone on the same date in September 2016. One has the problem, the other doesn't. That sort of problem doesn't sound like software to me. I have most up to date OS. I smell hardware. Its almost like the memory is running out.


Amazing. All I want is to highlight a date with a black dot so I can change things and it simply doesn't work consistently. Too big a problem to be lightly called a "bug" in something so fundamental as a calendar. I posted here in case there are others like me.

That is interesting. You can be in the month view, then tap on a single day and that day will open up? None of the people I know that have updated, including those that have written in this and other threads are seeing that behavior. It works the way I describe on my iPhone 5s and iPad Mini. Seems that it requires a double-tap to open a Day view from the Month view.

I agree that is the way it used to work. It seems now that a double-tap is the way it works. I'm waiting to download a copy of the iOS 9 User Guide in pdf, but that seems to be delayed. I'm searching the online version now to see if it addresses information about this.


EDIT: Just finished that search, and it does not address the actual manner to deal with viewing day from the month view. Hopefully we will get additional information later.

Regarding this calendar issue, I have experienced the same thing, I would have to touch up to a dozen times to find the "spot" where an individual day would open from the month view (also on a 5s). It is very frustrating...


I went in just now to try the double-tap method and now single tapping is opening any day in any month without issue. I don't know what could have changed but hopefully it will be resolved soon.
