New Phone - Not able to invite others (or myself) to calendar events anymore. 1 Recommended Answer 3 Replies 2 Upvotes
Hey, I have been dealing with this for a few months but I cannot work this out.
I had a Galaxy S8 and would create invites in the calendar app and invite others to them, such as my wife who is also on Google and using a Galaxy. She would create events and send to me also.
We both upgraded and connected old to new phones via a cable and all settings connected over.
The problem is if I create an invite on my phone and invite anyone, they do not see it or have it in the calendar- I also cannot see it if I log onto the Google Calander on the web. I can still receive invites ok, but must be me sending out that is the problem but I can't work it out.
Please, can someone help?

Just to update anyone who might have the same issue in the future I think I know the problem. On my new phone the default calendar when adding events is the Samsung one, still my google email address though. So if I create an event and then change the calendar from default to google events, it sends the invites out ok. I can't change the default to make this painless but at least I have a workaround.

That's definitely a strange issue. I don't think I've heard of this before. Maybe try logging out and logging back in to refresh your settings? It's also possible that the people you have invited to your event may not have enabled their invite notifications. Perhaps you might need to check with them. They might have received the invite unknowingly due to this setting. I wish I had a more definite answer to your question!
If you're ever having too much trouble with Google Calendar, have you ever considered trying a new calendar app? I know this one called Calendar, and it has all of Google Calendar's capabilities plus more. It is available on desktops, iOS and Android devices. I had tried all the calendar apps out there before I decided to make my own, Calendar, in order to satisfy all my scheduling needs. Calendar not only helps you with your personal schedule, but also helps with syncing your calendar to someone else's, making a team calendar, checking your schedule analytics, and can even record meeting transcriptions. Calendar offers so much and really helps with making your scheduling as easy as possible.
I hope you find answers to your question! I just thought it might be helpful to recommend Calendar since you were having trouble with Google Calendar. I hope this helps! Thanks for your question.

Hello John, thank you for trying to help with this issue, it is frustrating. I have looked at that calendar and it looks good to me if it works I'll use anything. Is there an app for it though? or need to use web? Thanks
