Howbout can sync with any calendar connected to your phone’s native calendar app, like Google Calendar, Outlook, or iCloud. If it appears in your phone’s calendar, you can use it in Howbout.

To import calendars into Howbout:

1. Sync your external calendar (e.g. Google, Outlook) to your phone’s native calendar app (iCal or Google Calendar) via your phone’s settings
2. Enable calendar permissions for Howbout in your phone settings
3. On iOS 17+, set calendar access to ‘Full Access’
4. Open the Home tab (🏠) or Calendar tab (📅)
5. Tap the Settings icon (⚙️) in the top right corner
6. Tap 'Synced calendars' and toggle on the calendars you want to show in Howbout, and choose:
   - Whether these calendars affect your availability, and
   - Who can see your synced plans: Friends, Best Friends, or No one
