How to use the Apple Calendar?

Introduction to the usage of Apple Calendar;

1. Create an important event by email.

If you receive an email with a definite time, you can easily write it into your calendar in a few simple steps. Click the scheduled time in the email header or text, and select Create Event from the pop-up menu at the bottom.

2. Set the time zone manually

Apple's iOS system will automatically fix the time zone according to the region, but this can be changed manually. Open Settings, select Mail, Address Book and Calendar, and drop down to Calendar to see Time Zone Priority, from which you can select any time zone in the world. In this way, it will be very convenient to communicate with family, friends and customers living in different time zones.

Ask Siri about the plan

Ask Siri, "Do you have any plans today?" It can list the planned items for you without opening the calendar app. Of course, you can also make plans to ask "tomorrow", "next week" and "these three days". In this way, the current schedule can be confirmed simply and quickly.

4. Share schedules through family members.

Apple's iOS8 can share movies and applications purchased in iTunes through home sharing. But calendars can also be shared. Open "Settings" and select "iCloud" to turn on the "Calendar" function. This will automatically generate a calendar to share with your family.

5. In the calendar, whether to remind each event can be set separately.

Apple iOS8 system can selectively remind the events in the calendar. In the preview interface of the calendar, select the event, click Edit in the upper right corner, and you can see "Reminder" in the drop-down box, from which you can turn the reminder function on or off.

6. Synchronous reference calendar (realized by Mac system)

Although you can subscribe to various calendars such as holidays and sports meetings, you can't synchronize them if you only set them in iOS. Log in to Apple's Mac system, and you can use iCloud to synchronize your phone with various calendars.

7. Add location information to get travel advice

Add location information to the activity and suggestions on how to travel will appear in the notification center. In addition, if "Travel Time" is turned on for every event in the schedule, you can set more detailed content reminders. This function will be very convenient when traveling.

8. Move events by dragging and dropping.

It may be hard to find when using the iPhone in portrait, but when switching to landscape (or using the iPad), dragging and dropping the added event can easily move it to a different time. This eliminates the need to open event editing one by one.

9. Add events in units of 1 minute.

"Take the tram 2 1: 48" and so on. Everyone wants to set the schedule more accurately. This can be set in the Start/End of the event. Double-click the scroll bar displaying minutes to switch the display of "in 5 minutes" or "in 1 minute".

10. Set the initial value of automatic reminder time.

Many people will want to "change the reminder time of different kinds of events", "change the default reminder time" and so on. At this time, you can click "Mail, Address Book, Calendar" in Settings, drop it down to "Calendar" and select "Default Reminder Time" to make changes. It is divided into three categories: birthday, event and all-day event, and the default reminder time of each item can be changed at will.
