How to Share Samsung Calendar - A 2025 Step-by-Step Guide

After writing our article on how to share the iPhone Calendar, it’s now time to write about how to share the calendar of the second-largest phone manufacturer in the world: Samsung.

In this article, we’ll learn how to share Samsung Calendar, including limitations and other workarounds to improve your calendaring experience.

How to share Samsung Calendar by creating a Shared Calendar

The first method of sharing Samsung Calendar is by using the built-in “Create Shared Calendar” feature in the Samsung Calendar app. This feature allows you to create a shared calendar and share it with your contacts or with friends who have a Samsung account.

To share a Samsung Calendar, follow these steps:

1. Open the Samsung Calendar app. You can quickly find the Calendar app on your Samsung phone by searching for “Calendar”.
   
2. Click the hamburger icon on the top left of the screen to open the sidebar. The sidebar contains information like the connected calendars, as well as the navigation for the Settings.
   
3. Click the Gear icon on the top right of the navigation bar(Settings). This icon takes you to the Calendar Settings page, where we’ll be able to manage our calendars.
   
4. Click “Manage Calendars”.
   
5. Click “Create shared Calendar”. This enables you to create a shared Samsung calendar and share it with others.
   
6. Name the shared calendar and assign it a color. The modal that pops up after clicking “Create shared Calendar” allows you to name the shared calendar, as well as assign it a color so you can distinguish it from your other calendars.
   
7. Click “Create”. After you click “Create”, Samsung creates the shared calendar and takes you to a screen that allows you to select the people you want to share your calendar with.
8. Select people to share with. In this screen, you can select to share your new shared calendar with your contacts or Samsung accounts by Samsung ID or phone number.
   

After you create the shared calendar and select people to share the calendar with, you should be able to see your Shared Calendar under the “Manage Calendars” section (Step 4).

You can share your Shared Samsung Calendar with up to 100 people.

Downsides of using the Create Shared Calendar on Samsung Calendar

The downside of using the “Create shared Calendar” on the Samsung Calendar app is that it’s not cross-platform. You can create a shared calendar and share it with your contacts or people who are already using Samsung.

If your family members or friends are not using Samsung, this method doesn’t work.

The workaround is to use a cross-platform solution, which we’ll explain below.

How to Share Samsung Calendar by using a cross-platform solution

Another approach to sharing a Samsung calendar is to use a cross-platform calendar like Google Calendar.

You would essentially share a Google Calendar, then view it in the Samsung Calendar.

You can achieve the same results by sharing the Outlook Calendar and then viewing it in the Samsung Calendar app.

The benefits of using this approach are that recipients on iPhone, web, or Outlook can see and edit the same calendar without needing a Samsung phone.

Use OneCal to sync all your calendars

OneCal is a great calendar tool, allowing you to merge all your calendars, helping your friends know your real availability. In case you share a calendar with your friends, you can use OneCal to clone all your calendar events into that shared calendar, so everyone is on the same page.

Using OneCal, you are in control of what’s cloned between calendars. You can clone all meeting information, or just clone the time and a template meeting title like ‘Busy’, so your friends know you’re busy, but can’t see the meeting information.
