# Edited an event but my phone's calendar has not updated

**What you are seeing**

I edited an event but my phone's calendar has not updated.

---

## Why it happens

Refresh is deliberately staged: a rebuild is scheduled 60 seconds after the edit, the edge serves a cached copy for up to 15 minutes, and the calendar app itself polls on its own schedule (the feed suggests hourly).

---

## What to do

Wait and refresh in the calendar app. If nothing at all is arriving, remove and re-add the subscription. Note that an edit to a calendar nobody has polled recently is skipped and rebuilt cold on the next poll.

## Settings involved

| **Setting**        | **Where**                             | **What it does**                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Base Timezone      | Calendar Configuration panel          | "Set the timezone by which events are co-ordinated. Note that events are shown in the timezone of the user viewing the calendar." In practice it pre-fills the event create/edit form only. The grid always draws events in |
| In-calendar Events | Calendar Configuration panel → Events | "Show in-calendar user made events". The events people create and save inside this calendar.                                                                                                                                |
| Native page dates  | Calendar Configuration panel → Events | "Show events from date macros on pages". Confluence's own date chips scraped off the calendar's source pages.                                                                                                               |

## Limits that apply here

| Saved event name        | \-        | A 3-character event title is rejected on save. The same 4-character floor is why .ics import skips very short titles. |
