Sync GroupMe Calendars To Your iPhone

To get GroupMe calendars onto your iPhone, connect GroupMe in gmCalSync, pick the groups you want, and add each private iCal link on iPhone under Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Subscribed Calendar. iPhone Calendar then refreshes those feeds in the background, so GroupMe plans stay current without retyping.

gmCalSync turns each GroupMe group into a private iCal subscription link that iPhone Calendar can follow automatically.

Stop copying GroupMe events into Apple Calendar by hand. Connect GroupMe once, choose the groups you care about, and add the private calendar URL to your iPhone as a subscribed calendar.

Each group can have its own feed, so team schedules, school groups, family plans, and activity calendars stay separated and easy to manage.

On iPhone, paste the link into the Server field, then tap Next and Save.

From GroupMe group to iPhone Calendar

GroupMe is where many plans get created, but iPhone Calendar is where people check the day. gmCalSync connects the two without making you rebuild every event manually.

Prefer a different calendar? The same link works in Google Calendar, Outlook, and on a Skylight Calendar.

  1. 1Connect your GroupMe account in gmCalSync.
  2. 2Pick the GroupMe group you want on your iPhone.
  3. 3Copy the private iCal subscription link.
  4. 4Add it in iPhone Settings under Calendar accounts as a subscribed calendar.

A better fit for team and family schedules

Built for subscribed calendars

Use the same private iCal format Apple Calendar already supports on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

One link per group

Generate separate feeds for different GroupMe groups instead of blending every event into one calendar.

Automatic refreshes

Once subscribed, Apple Calendar refreshes the feed in the background on Apple's schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Can GroupMe events show up in iPhone Calendar?

Yes. gmCalSync creates a private iCal subscription link for a GroupMe group, and iPhone Calendar can subscribe to that link.

Do GroupMe calendar updates appear instantly on iPhone?

Subscribed calendar updates are automatic, but iPhone Calendar refreshes them on Apple's background schedule, usually within a few hours.

Can I sync more than one GroupMe group to iPhone?

Yes. You can create a separate private calendar link for each GroupMe group and add each one to Apple Calendar.

Are the synced events editable on iPhone?

No. A subscribed calendar is read-only. Events are still created and edited in GroupMe, and the feed follows those changes.
