Why Would I Want to Change the Color of My Calendar?
With all the different details in the Calendar app, it’s easy to get a little lost. Color-coding is the perfect solution to that. Assigning a color to a calendar means that all the events for that particular calendar will be shown in the same color. If you have multiple calendars, this can be especially handy.
If you make your School calendar blue and add all your study sessions and events to it, you’ll instantly be able to see when you’re supposed to be doing schoolwork by looking for any blue events in the calendar.
Apple’s Calendar app makes it extremely easy to add or delete calendar events on iPhone and iPad, which are automatically color-coded to their relevant calendar.
Color-Coding a Calendar Has Never Been Easier
Like all of Apple’s apps, the Calendar app on your iPhone or iPad is extremely useful when you get the hang of it. Along with changing the color of different calendars, you can create, edit, and delete events whenever you want, and enable event alerts to ensure you’re always on time.
