Troubleshooting: Calendar is not visible in the Android app
It is a known behavior of the Google Calendar app on Android phones that newly added calendars (via a URL) are hidden by default to save data. Because of this, the synchronization for that specific calendar is often turned off initially.
Here is how to enable synchronization manually:
Open the Google Calendar app on your phone.
Tap the menu in the top-left corner (the three horizontal lines).
Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap Settings.
Look for the Google account you also use on your PC. If you don't see the Catermonkey calendar right away, tap Show more under that account.
Tap on the Catermonkey calendar.
Switch the toggle at the very top next to Sync to the ON position.
Go back to your main calendar view, open the side menu again, and tap Refresh.
💡Tip: Have you noticed that synchronisation is no longer working, or is it taking too long? If so, simply re-establish the link!
