The "Today" view in iOS 9's Calendar app is designed to showcase your most important upcoming events, offering a focused view of your day. However, it may not always display all your events. Sometimes, you might need to see a complete list of everything scheduled for the day, including meetings, birthdays, reminders, and other entries. This article will guide you on how to ensure you're seeing all your calendar events in the "Today" view of iOS 9's Calendar app.
Understanding the "Today" View
The "Today" view in iOS 9 Calendar is intended to provide a concise overview of your day's activities. It primarily focuses on showing events with time-specific details, allowing you to quickly grasp your schedule. However, it can sometimes filter out certain types of events, leading to a less comprehensive display of your day's activities.
Checking Your Calendar Settings
The key to seeing all your calendar events in the "Today" view is to adjust your Calendar app's settings to ensure that all event types are included. Here's how to do it:
- Open the Calendar app: Find the Calendar app icon on your iOS device and tap to open it.
- Access the settings: Tap on the "Calendar" tab at the bottom of the screen, then tap on the "List" icon in the top-right corner.
- Navigate to "Calendars": Scroll down and tap on "Calendars" to see a list of your active calendars.
- Modify settings: Carefully review the settings for each calendar. Ensure that the "Show Calendar" toggle is switched "ON" for all calendars you want to see events from in the "Today" view. Additionally, you may find a setting labeled "Show in Today View" for individual calendars; make sure this option is also enabled for calendars you'd like to appear in the "Today" view.
Other Potential Issues
While the settings adjustments are the most common solution, there might be other factors affecting your view.
Calendar Filters
iOS 9 Calendar allows you to filter events by calendar, type, or time range. If you have applied a filter, it might be hiding some of your events from view. Check the filter settings to ensure you haven't unintentionally narrowed down your event display.
Event Recurrence
If your events are set to recur, they may not all be visible in the "Today" view depending on their recurrence settings. For example, if an event recurs weekly but is not scheduled for today, it won't appear.
Time Zone Considerations
If you're traveling or working with people in different time zones, your calendar's time zone settings can affect the visibility of events. Make sure your calendar is set to the correct time zone for the events you're trying to view.
Final Steps and Troubleshooting
After adjusting your settings and checking for potential issues, go back to the "Today" view and observe if all your events are displayed. If you still face difficulties seeing all your calendar events, consider these additional tips:
- Restart your device: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve unexpected issues with the Calendar app.
- Check for software updates: Make sure you have the latest iOS version installed, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements.
- Contact Apple Support: If all else fails, reach out to Apple Support for assistance with troubleshooting your Calendar app settings and event visibility.
Conclusion
By carefully reviewing and adjusting your Calendar app settings, you can ensure that all your important events, regardless of their type or recurrence, are visible in the "Today" view of iOS 9. This will provide you with a comprehensive overview of your daily schedule, helping you stay organized and on top of your tasks. Remember to check your filter settings, event recurrence, time zone, and consider troubleshooting steps if you still encounter problems.
