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

Thank you Tinker Tots.

I’ve just updated to IOS 18.1 and the calendar bug seems to have been fixed.

i can’t get the Alarm on my iPhone 16Pro to play music instead of a ring tone.

using the latest IOS 18.1

Any ideas?

Apple calendar will not allow input of exact times. Only whole hours.

I agree with you that this is annoying. But this is a completely different problem than the TO and some others including me have. This is about the problem when typing time with the keyboard in calendar app. No crash.

Me too. I think it might be related to Gmail accounts. My non Gmail accounts no issue. The moment I added Gmail the calendar stop functioning. And when you look at your battery, at least for me, the usage is consumed with the Calendar app. My device won’t even charge properly with an apple cord only.

Same problem, I do hope they fix this. When having to enter entries very quickly for small appointments back to back multiple times a day even the few seconds it takes can mean a world of difference to enter the time with the numerical pad rather than spin to win. Please fix this Apple.

The correction apparently is in the Beta update but I will not be doing the beta software update until it has been properly vetted out. In the interim what I have done is used the outlook application. There is no issues adding as many accounts as you need. The only issue is you are unable to map it to your watch. BUT if you push all events to the iCloud account and add that account into the calendar app you should be ok. Just do not add any additional calendars ( I would recommend). I was able to get two calendars (iCloud and one Microsoft account) to work properly. No issues with my battery now and it functions as it was intended to do. Its not perfect but gets the job done...for now.

I agree!

I'm using iOS 18.1 When I try to select a calendar entry, nothing happens, it's completely frozen. Also, my battery is drained to 15% in 12 hours.
