Howbout syncs with any calendar integrated with your phone's native calendar. As long your calendar is showing in your phone’s native calendar app, you can use it with Howbout 😊

To import calendars into Howbout:

1. Ensure that the calendar you want to import (e.g. Outlook or Google Calendar) is synced to your phone's native calendar (iCal / GCal) through your phone settings.
2. Check that calendar permissions are enabled in Howbout. For iOS 17+ users, ensure you've set calendar permissions to "Full Access".
3. Open Howbout and head to the calendar by tapping on the calendar icon (🗓️) at the bottom of the screen
4. Tap the calendar settings icon in the top right of the screen, then tap the 'Phone calendars' button
5. Choose your visibility setting: ‘Shared’ or ‘Invisible’. 

Shared: The imported calendars will be shared with friends and affect your availability.

Invisible: You'll be able to view the imported calendars on your Howbout calendar, but they will not be shared with anyone else and won't affect your availability.

The availability statuses (busy / maybe busy / free) of events imported from an external calendar are set by the external calendar they originate from. The status cannot be changed within Howbout unless the events are converted to Howbout events first.

If the external calendar doesn't give Howbout a busy / free status, the status will default to 'maybe busy' to avoid incorrectly marking you as busy / free.

Still doesn't seem right? Check that you've correctly imported your calendars into Howbout.

Sometimes it can take a few minutes for Howbout to catch up with your updated calendar. To speed things up, you can refresh it by fully / force closing Howbout to re-sync the calendar.

Still experiencing the problem? Check that your phone's native calendar is up-to-date with the changes to your external calendar (as this is where Howbout finds your calendar info).

To export your Howbout calendar into other apps:

First, make sure exporting is enabled:

1. Head to the Home page by tapping the home icon (🏠) at the bottom of the screen

To change the colours of your external phone calendars and friends' calendars in Howbout:

On Howbout, every user has their own calendar that they can share with specific friends. We don't offer 'group calendars' where you and your friends share a communal calendar. This way you can also put your personal plans, work schedule and appointments on Howbout without having to share them if you don't want to.

To set up a shared calendar, you and your friends will need to (1) share your calendars with each other, and then (2) turn your friends’ calendars on.

Once you've got your shared calendars set up, consider creating a Howbout group to make planning together even easier.

3. Choose 'Cancel' to cancel / delete the event

Not the creator of the event? You can still leave the event to remove it from your calendar and chats list.

1. Head to an existing event or make a new one
2. Tap the colour droplet in the top right-hand corner of the page
3. Select the colour you want to use

You can add your work schedule to Howbout in different ways:

Want to import an existing work or shift calendar? See how to import external calendars here.

Want to set up your schedule directly in Howbout? See how to use Personal plans in Howbout here.

If your work schedule follows any sort of pattern, we'd recommend using our 'recurring' feature. Just look for the '🔁 recurring' button when setting the time / date (or after you've tapped a timeslot directly on the calendar). You can then set up a recurring work event to create your schedule.

For example, if you work the same schedule Monday-Thursday but end early on Fridays, you'd set up a recurring event that repeats on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Then, you'd create a separate recurring event every Friday with the early end time.

There are a few ways to make an event last multiple days, depending on how you're creating / edit it.
