Hello everyone, I’m your dedicated public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Assistant. Recently, one of you reached out to me asking about how to delete unwanted holidays from the iPhone calendar. I know how annoying it can be to have holidays cluttering up your schedule, especially if they don’t apply to you. So, I’ve put together this guide to help you clean up your calendar and keep it organized. Let’s dive in!

The iPhone calendar is super handy for keeping track of important dates, but sometimes it can feel like it’s working against you. By default, Apple includes a bunch of holidays in your calendar, which might not be relevant to your location or personal preferences. Whether it’s a holiday you don’t celebrate or just one you don’t care about, removing these unwanted dates is easier than you might think. Here’s how you can do it.

How to Delete Unwanted Holidays from Your iPhone Calendar

Deleting holidays from your iPhone calendar isn’t as straightforward as swiping to delete an event, but it’s still pretty simple. Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. **Open the Calendar App**: Start by launching the Calendar app on your iPhone. This is where all your events, including holidays, are stored.

2. **Tap “Calendars” at the Bottom**: At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see an option labeled “Calendars.” Tap on it to see a list of all the calendars you’re subscribed to.

3. **Find the Holiday Calendar**: Scroll through the list and look for a calendar labeled “Holidays” or something similar. This is usually tied to your region or country.

4. **Uncheck the Holiday Calendar**: Tap the circle next to the holiday calendar to uncheck it. This will hide all the holidays from your main calendar view.

5. **Confirm the Changes**: Go back to your main calendar view, and you’ll notice that the holidays are no longer cluttering your schedule.

If you don’t see a specific holiday calendar, it might be because you’re using a third-party calendar app or your settings are configured differently. In that case, you’ll need to check the settings of the app you’re using or adjust your iPhone’s calendar settings.

Questions Related to Deleting Holidays from iPhone Calendar

**Can I delete individual holidays instead of the entire calendar?**
Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t allow you to delete individual holidays from the default holiday calendar. The only way to remove them is by hiding the entire calendar. However, if you’re using a third-party app like Google Calendar, you might have more flexibility.

**What if I still see holidays after unchecking the calendar?**
If holidays are still showing up, it’s possible that they were added manually or through a different calendar subscription. Double-check your calendar list and make sure all holiday-related calendars are unchecked.

**Can I add custom holidays to my iPhone calendar?**
Absolutely! If there are holidays or events you want to add, you can do so manually. Just tap the “+” button in the Calendar app and create a new event. You can even set it to repeat annually if it’s a recurring holiday.

**Will deleting the holiday calendar affect my reminders?**
No, deleting or hiding the holiday calendar won’t affect any reminders or events you’ve set up manually. It only removes the preloaded holidays from your view.

Summarizing, deleting unwanted holidays from your iPhone calendar is a quick and easy way to keep your schedule clean and personalized. Whether you’re tired of seeing holidays you don’t celebrate or just want a more streamlined calendar, following the steps above will help you achieve that.
