WeekCal - Adding an iCalendar Feed to your Calendar

  • Updated

WeekCal v3 logo.png WeekCal supports subscribed calendar feeds such as iCalendar (.ics) feeds, allowing you to view shared calendars, holiday calendars, sports schedules, and other subscribed events directly inside WeekCal.

Since WeekCal uses Apple Calendar data, iCalendar subscriptions must be added through the native Apple Calendar app.

 

How to Add an iCalendar Feed

  1. Open the Apple Calendar app
    Launch the native Calendar app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap the Calendar icon
    Tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen on iPhone, or in the upper-left corner on iPad.
  3. Tap Add Calendar
    Select Add Calendar.
  4. Choose Add Subscription Calendar
    Tap Add Subscription Calendar.
  5. Enter the iCalendar feed URL
    Paste the web address ending in .ics into the text field.
  6. Tap Find or Subscribe
    iOS 26 may display Find before continuing to the subscription details screen.
  7. Customize subscription settings
    You can adjust:
    • Calendar title
    • Calendar color
    • Account location (recommended: iCloud)
  8. Tap Done
    The subscribed calendar will now appear in Apple Calendar and WeekCal.

 

How to Remove a Subscribed Calendar

  1. Open the Apple Calendar app.
  2. Tap Calendars.
  3. Tap the info (i) icon next to the subscribed calendar.

Important Information

  • iCalendar subscriptions are managed through the Apple Calendar app, not directly in WeekCal.
  • Choosing iCloud allows the subscription to appear across your Apple devices signed into the same Apple Account.
  • Subscribed calendars are typically read-only calendars.
  • Changes to subscription settings can be made from the Apple Calendar app.

 

Adding an iCalendar feed is a simple way to keep shared schedules, events, and subscriptions synced and viewable in WeekCal.
