Show your external calendar events to the other person

You can show events from calendars connected to your phone (iPhone Calendar, Google Calendar and so on) on your DayRipple calendar. Pick only the calendars you want, and you can also show them to the other person in the same space. In the screens below, you're ‘Emma’ and the other person is ‘Jake’.

Show external calendars on your calendar

  1. Step 1. In Settings › Calendar, turn on Show external calendars

    Tap Settings at the right end of the tab bar, then tap Calendar in the list. The calendar settings sheet slides up. Scroll to the bottom to find the External calendars section, and turn on the Show external calendars switch.

    The first time you turn it on, your phone asks whether to allow access to your calendars. If you allow it, your device's calendars are listed, all selected at first. Tap the name of any calendar you don't want on your calendar to uncheck it. If you don't allow access, the switch won't turn on. Allow DayRipple to access your calendars in your phone's settings, then turn it on again.

Show them to the other person

  1. Step 2. Turn on Share with space members for the calendars to show

    Turn on Share with space members under a calendar's name, and the title, date and time of that calendar's events become visible to the members of the current space. Calendars you don't turn on show only on your device. This switch appears only when the space has other members besides you, and only for calendars you've checked to show on your calendar.

    On the other person's calendar, your calendar events appear as an outlined circle with faded text instead of a filled chip. The circle's color is the color that stands for you in the space. When they tap the date to open the list, the event is marked Emma's calendar. It's read-only, so they can't edit or delete it.

  2. Step 3. To stop sharing, turn the switch off

    What stops depends on which switch you turn off.

    • Turn off Share with space members and only that calendar's events disappear from the other person's calendar.
    • Turn off Show external calendars and sharing stops for every calendar. Turning it back on doesn't restore sharing on its own.
    • Unchecking a calendar so it no longer shows on your calendar also stops sharing it.

Good to know

  • The other person sees events from 7 days ago up to one year ahead. Events are updated when the person sharing them opens the app. Along with each event's title, date and time, the calendar's name is visible to the other person too.
  • The other person can hide your calendars for now in Members' calendars in the ⋯ menu at the top right of the calendar. They show again the next time the app opens.
  • Sharing applies only to the current space in Calendar mode. External calendars shown in Planner mode aren't visible to the other person.
  • If Google Calendar isn't in the list, add your Google account to your phone's calendars in its settings. Only events that show in your phone's built-in calendar app can be brought in.
