How to add an event to a shared calendar with Siri
Quick answer
Say "Hey Siri, add lunch Friday at noon to the Family calendar." Naming the shared calendar puts the event there so everyone with access sees it.
Say this
“Hey Siri, add lunch Friday at noon to the Family calendar”
How it works
- 01Set up and share the calendar in the Calendar app first.
- 02Include the calendar name in your request to Siri.
- 03Give a clear date and time so Siri places it correctly.
- 04Confirm the calendar and details before saving.

If Siri doesn't get it
If the event lands on your default calendar instead, say the shared calendar's exact name, and verify it's actually shared (not just a local calendar) in the Calendar app.
