FAQs & Answers

  1. Can I import multiple iCal (.ics) files into Google Calendar at once? Google Calendar currently supports importing one .ics file at a time. To add multiple iCal files, repeat the import process for each file individually.
  2. Will imported iCal events automatically update in Google Calendar? Imported .ics files bring events into Google Calendar as a one-time import; they do not sync changes automatically. To update events, you must re-import the updated .ics file.
  3. Can I import an iCal file using the Google Calendar mobile app? Importing iCal (.ics) files is currently only supported via the Google Calendar web interface. The mobile app does not offer a direct import option.
