iOS18.0 Calendar App Won’t Allow Entry of Event Times Down to the Minute

Have you all logged this as a bug ?

Feedback - Calendar - Apple

I replaced my iPhone 14 Pro with a 16Pro on Monday (October 21).

Can’t add new events or change existing ones. Screen freezes every time. Have visited the Apple store where I bought the phone to show them the problem and spent hours on the phone to Apple Support. Both confirm that there is a fault and that this being “worked on”.

Help! I need a calendar that works!

What can I do? Is anyone else having the same problem? When will it be fixed?

I realise there are two problems,

1. minute increments are 5 by 5 (image 1)
2. cannot enter the time of the appointment using the keyboard

if you do type a digit, the minute increments change to singles. (image 2)

My main issue is that we can't enter the time of an appointment using the keyboard, even thought it pops up

No tee time fall in the 5 minutes ;)

If you want us to stay with Apple, you’ve got to do better. This is what you’d expect from that other company.

Me too! For example

I try to enter 4:21 pm but it’s keeps jumping to 12:04 then it goes to the next page which shows my city.

Tried to tell Apple about this malfunction but they wanted me to fix my iPhone instead.

Wouldn’t acknowledge the problem.

I don’t have a new iPhone, but I have the same problem of the app not being able to add the event info onto my icalendar, despite having permission to add events only on settings

I agree on starting with the 5-minute slider, makes it indeed faster for common appointments.

Just tap the slider for finetuning is perfect, but indeed without reset to midnight.

For me, on-minute appointments are important for example to public transport schedules… Especially now my new iPhone doesn’t allow other apps to add entries anymore…

Can you please stop downgrading things that worked to a bs-level!

When I look a the list I start to think you’ll loose it in the end.

Your famous double language keyboard is another example. It’s now worse than before with different languages.

Do you test your stuff or is it now just the Microsoft way getting things done?

You and I are in the same exact boat. My temporary fix is mapping my emails and calendars to the outlook application. No issues there except the calendar flow doesn’t work as designed on the Apple Watch. I created two calendar views on the control panel with the apple calendar and outlook calendar to reference.

I use my iPad to update my calendar whenever it decides to update. But I think Gmail accounts may be the issue. The associate the apple saw the immediate impact when I did that.

I have no idea how Apple missed something so major like this.

Hopefully they fix it on next patch

Me, too。
