So I’m using the apple calendar with has my work calendar from google integrated. Works fine on my iPhone, works fine on my mac but if i go to icloud.com and visit my calendar there, it does not show my work calendar from google…

What am I doing wrong?

    I don’t think it’s defensiveness so much as it’s a response to your incredulity at something that’s common and consistent. Nothing works the way you describe for any service out there. When you go to Gmail, it doesn’t pull up your Yahoo email magically. When you pull up Facebook, it doesn’t pull in Twitter too. If you visit Office 365, it doesn’t pull up your Google Sheets or Numbers spreadsheets. When you pull up iCloud Drive, it doesn’t also pull up Dropbox and OneDrive despite the Files app showing them all on phones and computers.

    It seems like people are shocked about you not knowing the difference between a service and a client app for that service. I’m not sure if that’s shocking but I responded the way I did because you made it seem like that should be the way it works and that it was obvious that it should work that way despite nothing else working that way. If you’d had an example of the behavior you’re describing, maybe the responses would be different.

      when I pull up google mail in my browser it shows me my icloud mails, my work mails and my google mails…same for my mails in icloud…and I know back in the days that your tweets showed up in your facebook timeline too…

      Sure you’re somehow connected that services or forwarded the mails to it, but I also don’t see the problem in making a copy of all your different appointments and mirror them in your icloud web calendar, so you don’t have to integrate the other services in that.

      sure updates would be dependent on usage of the native app on your phone or mac, but since you always use them anyway it would be a convincing solution. It would perfectly work as an overview of your calendar…

      but like I said it’s a little bit annoying but no dealbreaker since I always can look at my phone or watch (which actually also only mirrors everything on your phone…)…so I think we can settle the discussion here.

        It doesn’t unless you added those things to the client.
