Calendar App on iPhone - Irregular Recurring Schedule.

I work a rotating schedule, and would like an easy way to enter the work days into my calendar. SO for example, the first week, I work Mon, Tues, Off Wed & Thurs, Then work Fri, Sat, Sun. Then the next week, I am off Mon and Tues, Work Wed &Thurs, Off Fri, Sat, Sun. then repeat these 2 weeks after that. How can I do this easily on an iphone?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

The easiest way is to treat each week individually.


Pictures were taken on an iPad to see the process as a whole, but it works the same on an iPhone.


You start with your first Monday of work and set a custom repetition (it's at the bottom of the list), weekly, every 2 weeks, covering Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.


Then you go to the Wednesday of the following week and set a similar event.
