Google Calendar widget not appearing, how do I make it appear?

I'm using the latest version of the Google Calendar app which supports widgets, but the option to display the widget isn't even there in the today view of the notification.

I attached a screenshot of what it looks like. The option to add Google Calendar doesn't even appear, but it should because the app supports widgets. I'm using iOS 9.3.5 and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, resetting my phone, and logging in and out of the app and nothing seems to be working.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.5

Ok

So: what is thé version of Google calendar on your iphone ?

Widget of Google C. Is only on New version , maybe Check your updates.

Once you have the latest Google Calendar for iOS update, you can add the widget by swiping to the right from the Home screen and tapping “Edit” at the bottom of the search screen.

I'm using the current version of Google Calendar 2.7.0. According to the version history, the Google Calendar widget was added in version 2.4.0 so I should have the widget but I don't which is weird. Also to edit my widgets I have to swipe down and do it that way because I'm using iOS 9.3.5 and I think that's different than your version.

If you delete Apple’s Calendar App and make sure the Google one is downloaded it will allow you to add the Google one as a widget. I think you can only have one or the other but not both.
