How do I import other calendars into Howbout?

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.
