Written By Axel Nash |
“How can I sync iCloud Calendar with Google Calendar? I recently moved from iOS to Android, but can’t seem to sync my calendars!”
It doesn’t matter if you are switching your device or simply moving to Google Calendar, chances are that you might encounter an issue like this as well. While both iCloud and Google provide dedicated calendar services, sometimes users just wish to migrate from one platform to another. Thankfully, there are different ways to sync iCloud Calendar with Google Calendar. In this post, I’m going to help you sync iCloud Calendar with Google in a stepwise manner.
Part 1: Sync iCloud Calendar with Google via its Link
If you are already using iCloud to manage your schedule, then you might know that it lets us create different calendars. Now, users can simply extract a unique URL of the calendar and import it to their Google account. For this to work, make sure that your iCloud calendar is public as the method won’t work for private entries.
To learn how to link iCloud Calendar to Google Calendar, you can follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Copy the Calendar URL from iCloud
To start with, you can first copy the URL of the iCloud calendar that you wish to share with your Google Calendar account. You can get the URL from the iCloud’s website or via the Calendar app of your iPhone.
Copy the URL from iCloud’s website
The easiest way to get the URL of the calendar is by visiting the iCloud website. Go to the iCloud website, log in to your account, and select the “Calendar” feature from its home. Now, from the sidebar, you can view the available calendars. Select a calendar to export and click on the share icon from the side.
From here, you can choose to make your iCloud calendar public. Also, click on the “Copy link” button to copy its URL to the clipboard. You can also mail the calendar link to yourself from here.
Copy the link from your iOS Device
You can also share iCloud Calendar with Google Calendar directly from your iPhone or iPad. For this, go to the Calendar app on your iOS device and select the calendar that is saved on iCloud. Now, tap on the more info (“i”) option from the side of the calendar.
As this will display more options related to the selected calendar, turn on the feature to make it public. You can also tap on the “Share link” feature to copy the URL of the public calendar.
Step 2: Import the Calendar to your Google Account
Great! Once you have copied the URL of the iCloud calendar, log in to your Google account on any browser and visit the “Calendar” feature. You can directly go to the website of Google Calendar as well. To sync iCloud Calendar with Google, you can click on the “+” icon from the bottom.
Apart from that, you can view different categories on the sidebar as well. Just select the section in which you wish to add the calendar, click on the downward arrow to get more options, and choose to add a calendar by its URL.
This will open a new window on the Google Calendar interface where you can just submit the URL of the iCloud calendar that you copied earlier. In the end, just click on the “Add Calendar” button to sync iCloud Calendar with Google Calendar.
Part 2: Transfer Calendar from iPhone to Android with MobileTrans

Step 3: Transfer data from iPhone to Android
Once your iPhone is marked as the source device, simply select the data that you wish to move to your Android. From the available list of data types in the middle, make sure the “Calendar” feature is selected.
