To sync a shared calendar on your iPhone, first ensure the calendar is shared with you. Open the Calendar app, go to Calendars at the bottom, tap Add Calendar, and select Add Shared Calendar. Enter the calendar's name or the email address of its owner. If it's already shared with you, it should appear under iCloud or Subscribed Calendars. Make sure it is checked or use the Add option for iCloud shared calendars. This syncs the shared calendar with your device, making it visible in your Calendar app.
