Share your Samsung calendar by opening the calendar app, selecting the calendar you want to share, and choosing who gets access

The Samsung Calendar app lets you share your calendar with family, friends, or coworkers so they can see your events. You can share through your Samsung account, Google account, or by sending a link. The person you share with can view your calendar on their own device, and depending on how you set it up, they may be able to edit events or just see them.

The steps differ slightly depending on whether you're using a Samsung account, a Google account synced to your phone, or sharing through a direct link. This guide covers all three methods so you can pick the one that works best for your situation.

Key Takeaways

  • Samsung Calendar shares through your Samsung account, Google account, or a shareable link — each method works with different contacts and devices.
  • You can set different permission levels: view-only access, or permission to edit and add events.
  • The person you share with needs to accept the share request before they can see your calendar on their device.
  • Shared calendars sync across devices, so changes show up on everyone's phone or computer in real time.
  • You can stop sharing at any time by removing the person's access from the calendar settings.

Share a Samsung calendar through your Samsung account

If you use a Samsung account on your phone, this is the most direct way to share. Open the Samsung Calendar app and tap the calendar name at the bottom of the screen. Look for the calendar you want to share — it will have a colored dot next to it. Tap and hold on that calendar name, then select Share calendar from the menu that appears.

A screen will open asking you to enter the email address or phone number of the person you want to share with. Type their contact information and choose whether they can view only or view and edit. Tap Send invite. The person will receive a notification on their Samsung device asking them to accept the share. Once they accept, your calendar appears on their phone.

If the person doesn't have a Samsung account yet, they can create one for free using their email address. The share invitation will be sent to that email, and they can accept it after signing in.

Share a Google Calendar synced to Samsung Calendar

If your calendar is synced through Google (which is common if you use Gmail), you can share directly from the Google Calendar website or app. Open Google Calendar on a computer or phone, find the calendar you want to share, and click the three dots next to its name. Select Settings and sharing.

Scroll down to the "Share with specific people" section and click Add people. Type the email address of the person you want to share with. Use the dropdown menu to choose their permission level: See all event details (view only), Make changes to events (they can edit), or Make changes and manage sharing (they can also share it with others). Click Send.

The person will receive an email invitation. They can click the link to view your calendar in their own Google Calendar account. This method works whether they use Samsung Calendar, Google Calendar, or any other calendar app that syncs with Google.

Share a calendar using a public link

If you want to share your calendar with someone who doesn't have an email address you know, or you want to share it publicly, you can create a shareable link. Open Samsung Calendar, tap and hold the calendar name, and select Share calendar. Look for an option to Create link or Get shareable link.

The app will generate a link you can copy and send through text, email, or any messaging app. Anyone with the link can view your calendar. They don't need to accept an invitation or sign in — they can open the link and see your events right away. Be aware that a public link means anyone who has it can see your calendar, so only share it with people you trust.

To stop sharing via link, go back to the same menu and select Delete link or Stop sharing. The link will no longer work.

Set permissions for shared calendars

When you share a calendar, you control what the other person can do with it. View only means they can see all your events but cannot add, edit, or delete anything. Edit means they can change event details, add new events, and delete events from your calendar. Manage sharing (available on Google Calendar) means they can also share the calendar with other people.

Choose the permission level based on your relationship and what you need. For a family calendar where everyone plans together, edit access makes sense. For a work calendar where you want colleagues to see your availability but not change things, view-only is safer. You can change permissions later by going back to the sharing settings and updating the person's access level.

Remove someone's access to your calendar

If you no longer want someone to see your calendar, you can remove them. Open Samsung Calendar, tap and hold the calendar name, and select Share calendar or Sharing settings. Find the person's name in the list of people you've shared with and tap the X or trash icon next to their name. Confirm the removal.

Once you remove them, they will no longer see your calendar on their device. If you shared via a public link, deleting the link stops anyone from viewing the calendar through that link. Removing access is when ready — the person won't receive a notification, but they will notice the calendar disappears from their app.

Troubleshoot sharing problems

If the person you shared with doesn't see your calendar, first check that they accepted the invitation. Look in their email or Samsung notifications for a message from you or Samsung Calendar. They need to tap Accept before the calendar shows up on their device.

If they accepted but still don't see it, ask them to open Samsung Calendar and go to Settings > Calendars. They should toggle on the calendar you shared. If it's not listed there, they may need to sign out and sign back into their Samsung or Google account to refresh the connection.

If you're sharing a Google Calendar and the person uses Samsung Calendar, make sure their Google account is synced to their Samsung phone. Go to Settings > Accounts > Google and confirm the account is active. Sometimes a calendar takes a few minutes to appear after sharing, so wait a bit and then refresh the app by closing and reopening it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share my calendar with someone who doesn't use Samsung?

Yes. If you share through Google Calendar, anyone with a Google account can view it in their own calendar app. If you create a public link, anyone with the link can see it without signing in. Samsung account sharing works best with other Samsung users, but Google Calendar sharing is more universal.

What happens if I edit an event on a shared calendar?

If you have edit permission on a shared calendar, changes you make appear on everyone's calendar in real time. If you only have view permission, you cannot edit events — you'll see a message saying you don't have permission when you try to change something.

Can I share different calendars with different people?

Yes. You can share one calendar with your family, another with your coworkers, and a third with just your partner. Each calendar has its own sharing settings, so you control who sees what.

How do I know if someone is viewing my shared calendar?

Samsung Calendar and Google Calendar don't show you a list of who is currently looking at your calendar. You can only see who you've shared it with in the sharing settings. If you want to stop sharing with someone, you have to remove them manually.

Can I share a calendar that's synced from another app?

It depends on the app. Calendars synced from Google, Microsoft Outlook, or other major services can usually be shared through their native sharing features. Open the original app or website where the calendar is stored and look for sharing options there. Samsung Calendar may not have a direct share button for third-party calendars.
