There are two ways to create an event. The quickest way is to tap and hold the Calendar app icon, then tap "Add event". Alternatively, tap to open the Calendar app, then:

- Tap the dot next to the Title to change the colour for the event.
- Tap "Start" and "End" to change the date and time of the event or tap "All day".
- Tap Location to add an address or tap "Map" to choose the location on the map.
- Tap Calendar to select which calendar that this event is added to.
- Tap Alert to adjust how and when you will be alerted about your event. Tap the + icon to add additional alerts.To change the alert style and settings, from the calendar, tap the Menu icon, then tap the Settings icon. The alert options can be found under the "More settings" heading .
- Tap Repeat if you would like to create a recurring event, for example a weekly meeting. To repeat on a specific frequency, tap "Customise". For example, to repeat on the last Friday of each month, select "1" and "month" and "On the 4th Friday".
- Tap Notes to add more details about your event.
- Tap Attach file to add an attachment from the Gallery or Samsung Notes apps.
- Tap Invitee to send an event invitation.
Please note: Some options may not be available for all calendars. For example, the option to add an invitee is not available for the default Calendar (Samsung Account).
You can share your events through email, WhatsApp, Bluetooth and more, so that no matter what platform your connections are on they will never be left out. There are two ways to share events: share the event or add invitees.
Share the event:
Add invitees:
Some calendars, such as your Google calendar, will let you add invitees when creating or editing an event.
Please note: The option to add invitees is not available for all calendars, for example the default Calendar (Samsung Account).
Tap to add an Invitee.
Once saved, your invitees will receive the invitation. They can then accept or decline your invitation. To check the status of your invitee request(s), tap the event in your Calendar, then tap "Details" which is next to Invitee.
To delete events individually:
To delete all events in your calendar:
Please note: This will delete all the Calendar app's data including all events, settings and accounts.
The Samsung calendar app lets you bring together your events from other calendars including Gmail, Google, and Microsoft Exchange. This makes it easy to create shared calendars and import any you may already have. You can also add an alternative calendar such as lunar, Hijri or Shamsi calendars. You can also turn on calendar syncing so that your calendars stay up to date across all your devices.

There are a couple of ways you can share your diary with another person. You can either share individual events or you can share an entire calendar. To share an entire calendar with others, create a shared calendar using your preferred platform (for example Google Calendar), then add the calendar to the Samsung Calendar app and sync the events.
Sometimes hiding a calendar from your display isn't enough. If you would like to remove a calendar completely you can do so through your settings.
Please note: Removing an account will also remove it from any other apps. For example, if the calendar you want to remove is associated with an email account it will also be removed from the email app.
To add your calendar to your home screen, you can add the Calendar widget to your home screen.
