I don't see the Google Calendar app in Google Play
If you don't see the Google Calendar app with this icon you might have an older version of Android that doesn't work with the app.
Directions for your device may be a bit different, but here's the general idea:
- Open the Settings app (not "Google Settings") on your phone or tablet.
- Open the About phone/device/tablet section. It might be at the bottom of the page, or on a different page in Settings.
- The Android version section tells you which version you have.
If the number is 4.1 or up, use the directions above to download the app. If the number is below 4.1, see the section below.
If your version of Android is below 4.1, you can use another calendar app on your phone to see your Google Calendar events.
- Android 4.0: Use the Calendar app that came on your phone, download a different calendar app on Google Play that syncs with Google, or continue using the previous version of the Calendar app.
- Android 2.3 and below: Use the Calendar app that came on your phone.
