How to Share iCloud/Apple Calendar with Android - A Detailed Guide

Even though iPhone and Android phones are dominating the smartphone market, sharing an iCloud Calendar with an Android phone is not that straightforward. In this article, we’ll explore the different ways to share iCloud/Apple Calendar with Android.

Share iCloud/Apple Calendar with Android using Google Calendar

The first way to share an iCloud Calendar with Android is by using Google Calendar. Google Calendar is one of the best calendars to date, having mobile, desktop, and web apps.

Note that we’ll use the desktop web app of Google Calendar to share the Apple Calendar, as importing a calendar using the mobile app of Google Calendar is not supported.

To sync an iCloud Calendar with Android using Google Calendar, follow these steps:

1. Open the Apple Calendar. You can open the iCloud/Apple Calendar by visiting https://www.icloud.com/calendar/.

   

2. Hover over the Apple Calendar you want to sync with Google Calendar. The calendars are located on the sidebar on the left, below the Calendar section.

   

3. Click the Profile Picture Icon on the right of the Apple Calendar you want to share. After clicking the icon, a modal with the title Calendar Sharing will pop up.

   

4. Toggle the Public Calendar (switch it on). This will make the Apple Calendar public, and generate a new Webcal URL.

   

5. Copy the Webcal URL generated when toggling the Public Calendar toggle. You can copy the link by clicking the Copy button provided by Apple Calendar.

   

6. Open Google Calendar. You can open Google Calendar by visiting https://calendar.google.com/

   

7. Find the Other Calendars section. The Other Calendars section is located on the left side of the page, on the sidebar.

   

8. Click the + Icon. The plus icon is located on the right of the Other Calendars section.

   

9. Click From URL. After you click the plus icon, a modal pops up. You should click the option that reads From URL.

   

10. Paste the URL we copied from Apple Calendar. In step 5, we copied the Webcal URL that we generated from the Apple Calendar, by enabling Calendar Sharing. We should now paste that URL inside the From URL field in Google Calendar.

    

11. Click Add Calendar. Your iCloud/Apple calendar is synced with your Google Calendar.

    

Your iCloud Calendar is now shared with your Android through Google Calendar.

You should be able to see all the iCloud Calendar events in your Google Calendar. Now just open the Google Calendar mobile app (you can download it in the Play Store if you haven’t already). All your iCloud Calendar meetings are now synced with your Android phone.

How to share iCloud/Apple Calendar with Android by using Outlook

To share an iCloud Calendar to Android you can also use Outlook. Note that you’ll have to use the desktop web app of Outlook to import the iCloud/Apple Calendar. After that, you can use the Outlook mobile app to view all your Apple Calendar events.
