What to know

  • Google Calendar on Android now shows a carousel of your connected calendars when adding events.
  • This update makes it faster to choose sub-calendars without extra menu steps.
  • The new layout is available in app version 2025.16.0 and newer.
  • The app remembers your last used sub-calendar for even quicker scheduling.

Google Calendar has introduced a new feature on Android devices that makes adding events simpler and faster. When you create a new event, you now see a carousel at the top of the screen showing all the calendars linked to your Google account. This means you can pick the right calendar for your event without opening extra menus or navigating away from the main screen.

Previously, if you wanted to add an event to a calendar other than the default one, you had to tap through a separate menu. This extra step could slow you down, especially if you manage several calendars for work, family, or personal use. The new carousel layout removes this hassle by putting all your sub-calendars in one easy-to-access place during event creation.

Another helpful change is that Google Calendar now remembers which sub-calendar you used last. The next time you add an event, it highlights that calendar automatically. This small adjustment can save you time if you often add events to the same calendar.

The update is available in Google Calendar app version 2025.16.0 and newer. You can get the new layout by updating your app through the Play Store. The change is not controlled by a server-side switch, so users with older versions will still see the previous interface.

The process for switching between different Google accounts in the app remains the same. You still need to tap your email or the arrow next to it to change accounts.

This update aims to make event scheduling more efficient for users who juggle multiple calendars. By reducing the number of taps needed to select a calendar, Google Calendar helps you organize your schedule with less effort on Android devices.
