Google Calendar might add new sharing features to phones

Google Calendar is already a great tool for managing our busy schedules, letting us sync events across different devices and share them with others. We’ve been looking at some updates Google is planning, and it seems they’re making it simpler to handle various calendars, along with giving the app a fresh look.

We’ve explored the new 2025.03.0 build of Google Calendar. This version isn’t out yet for public use, but we’ve managed to activate some of the upcoming changes to give you a sneak peek. Here’s what we’ve noticed about the new design. In the pictures we’re showing, you’ll see the current Calendar look on the left, compared to the new changes on the right.

The new design brings more color to the screen, making things easier to see. There are thicker lines on the calendar grid with rounded corners, which helps them stand out more. Google is also thinking about using more space by showing full names of the days instead of just letters.

On the functionality side, there’s news about managing multiple calendars. Right now, on Android, you can pick which calendars you want to see, but you can’t unsubscribe from them like you can on the web. However, there’s a new “Unsubscribe” button in the works that could change this.

Sharing calendars has been a bit cumbersome since you need a computer to do it. But it looks like Google is planning to fix this by adding a “Shared with” feature on Android. This would let you invite others to view your calendar right from your phone, manage who can see it, and even remove access for certain people. The settings menu is also getting some new icons to make it easier to use.

While the visual updates are nice, they’re not a big deal. But the ability to control sharing directly from your phone is something users have been needing for a while. Hopefully, Google will roll these features out soon.
