How to Transfer Calendar from iPhone to iPhone: 4 Ways

Getting a new iPhone often means more than moving photos, contacts, and apps. Your calendar matters too - appointments, meetings, reminders, and important events may still be tied to your old device or account. If you're wondering how to transfer Calendar from iPhone to iPhone, there are several ways to do it, depending on how your calendars are stored. Below, we'll walk you through four practical methods, from a direct transfer with MobiKin Transfer for Mobile to iCloud and other calendar accounts.

Part 1: Transfer Calendar from iPhone to iPhone with MobiKin Transfer for Mobile

If you want to move calendar events from an old iPhone to a new iPhone without relying on iCloud, MobiKin Transfer for Mobile is a convenient option. It lets you transfer Calendar data directly between two iPhones through a computer. You can select the Calendar category instead of transferring everything, making it especially useful when you only need to share calendars on iPhone and move schedules and events to another iPhone.

Key Features of MobiKin Transfer for Mobile:

• Move Calendar and other supported data directly from one iPhone to another.
• Choose only the data you need, such as Calendar, instead of transferring the entire device.
• Complete the transfer process with just a few straightforward clicks.
• Transfer data without depending on iCloud storage or syncing.
• Transfer Calendar data without unnecessarily wiping the existing content on the target iPhone.
• Work with various iPhone models and iOS versions, making it suitable for upgrading to a newer iPhone.

Steps to Transfer Calendar from iPhone to iPhone:

Step 1. Connect Both iPhones to the Computer

Install and launch MobiKin Transfer for Mobile on your computer. Connect both the old and new iPhones using USB cables and tap "Trust" on the devices if prompted. Make sure the old iPhone is listed as the source and the new iPhone as the destination.

Step 2. Select Calendar Data

After the two devices are detected, select "Calendar" from the available data types. If the source and target iPhones are displayed in the wrong positions, click "Flip" to switch them.

Step 3. Start Transferring Calendar

Click "Start Copy" to begin transferring the selected Calendar data from the old iPhone to the new one. Keep both iPhones connected until the process is complete.

Part 2: Sync iPhone Calendar to Another iPhone via iCloud

If both iPhones are signed in with the same Apple Account, you can use iCloud to sync your calendars without connecting the devices to a computer. Once iCloud Calendar is enabled on both iPhones, your calendar events will sync automatically across them. This method is convenient for users who want to keep their calendars continuously updated on multiple Apple devices.

• On both iPhones, open "Settings" and tap your name at the top, then select "iCloud".
• Tap "See All" under Saved to iCloud and turn on "Calendars". (iPhone Calendar Not Syncing?)



• If prompted, tap "Merge" to combine the calendars stored on the iPhone with those in iCloud.
• Make sure both iPhones are connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and signed in with the same Apple Account.
• Open the "Calendar" app on the new iPhone and tap "Calendars" at the bottom to check whether your events have appeared.
• If the calendars do not appear immediately, keep the iPhone connected to Wi-Fi and wait a few moments for iCloud to complete the synchronization.

Part 3: Transfer Calendar from One iPhone to Another Using an iCloud Backup

If you are setting up a new iPhone and want to bring your calendar data along with other content, restoring an iCloud backup is another option. This method restores the backed-up data from your old iPhone to the new one, so you don't need to transfer the calendar manually. However, unlike iCloud Calendar syncing, an iCloud backup restores a broader set of data rather than Calendar alone.

• On your old iPhone, go to "Settings" > [your name] > "iCloud" > "iCloud Backup", then tap "Back Up Now" and wait for the backup to finish.



• Turn on your new iPhone and follow the on-screen setup instructions until you reach the "Transfer Your Apps & Data" screen.
• Select "From iCloud Backup" and sign in to the same Apple Account used on your old iPhone.
• Choose the most recent backup containing your calendar data and tap "Continue" to start the restoration.
• Keep the new iPhone connected to Wi-Fi and power while the restore process completes.
• Once the setup is finished, open the "Calendar" app and check whether your calendar events have been restored.

Part 4: Move Calendar from iPhone to iPhone with Other Accounts

If your calendar events are linked to a Google, Outlook, Exchange, or other third-party account instead of iCloud, you can move them to another iPhone by adding the same account to the new device. This method does not require an iCloud backup and is particularly useful when you want to access existing calendar events without transferring the entire iPhone.

• On the old iPhone, open the "Calendar" app and tap "Calendars" at the bottom to check which account contains the calendars you want to move.
• On the new iPhone, go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Calendar" > "Calendar Accounts".
• Tap "Add Account" and select the relevant service, such as "Google", "Microsoft Exchange", or another supported account.
• Enter the same account credentials you used on the old iPhone and complete any required verification.
• Make sure the "Calendars" option is enabled, then tap "Save".



• Open the "Calendar" app on the new iPhone and tap "Calendars" to confirm that the events from the added account are displayed. (How to Sync iCloud Calendar with Outlook?)

FAQs About Transferring Calendar from iPhone to iPhone

Q1. Can I transfer only Calendar from one iPhone to another?

Yes. If you only want to move calendar events rather than all your iPhone data, you can use MobiKin Transfer for Mobile to selectively transfer the Calendar category between two iPhones. iCloud Calendar can also sync calendar data without transferring other device content.

Q2. Why are my calendar events not showing on my new iPhone?

Check whether both iPhones are using the same Apple Account and whether Calendar is enabled under iCloud. If your calendars are associated with Google, Outlook, or another account, make sure the same account has been added to the new iPhone and that its Calendar option is enabled.

Q3. Can I transfer Calendar between iPhones with different Apple Accounts?

Yes. If the calendars are stored in a third-party account, you can add that account to the new iPhone. For iCloud calendars, however, simply signing in with a different Apple Account will not automatically sync the original calendars. You can use a direct transfer method such as MobiKin Transfer for Mobile instead.

Windup

Transferring your calendar to a new iPhone doesn't have to be complicated. You can use MobiKin Transfer for Mobile for a direct and selective transfer, iCloud for automatic syncing, iCloud Backup for restoring a new device, or other accounts for Google and Outlook calendars. Choose the method that matches your calendar source and transfer needs.
