Travel time missing! iPhone iOS 18 upgrade

iOS 18 upgrade has presented a couple of challenges. on iCal and on the previous iOS, one was able to set travel time and a 2nd time alarm on any given appointment.

On iOS 18, I no longer can set a 2nd alarm or travel time. 2nd time appears, but the 2nd set alarm time doesn't stay as it goes blank, as if I never set it. How do I get it to remain at the setting I chose?


Travel time has disappeared completely. How do I now find travel time in order to set the appropriate amount of time to which I've become accustomed? Travel time has become important! Surely Apple would have removed such a useful feature? Thanks for any assistance.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

I just played with the calendar app to see what you are referring to.. I was able to schedule an an appt with travel time and a second alert, I think it's just a little different than it was previously.


Here is what I believe the conditions are:

  • In order for the Alert drop down to include travel time, you must select something in the Travel Time menu right under the Starts/Ends menus
  • If you specify a location of the appointment, the Travel Time menu will change a bit.. you will have to toggle the Travel Time switch and then select from the options. If no location is included for the appointment, the Travel Time is just a list of times that you have to select (which obviously would not include traffic etc with a fixed time)
  • If you want the Second Alert to be available, you have to select something for Alert

I think I know what you are refering to. There appears to be a bug when first upgraded to ios18, the calendar app doesn't automatically calculate your travel time when you set your destination, it doens't even ask for a start location. You can only select the predefined 5mins, 10mins, 15mins etc. The solution is pretty simple, you just restart your phone after the frist upgrade.
