Hi there


Please try this


  • Check the Full Details View: Tap deeper into the event creation screen or look for hidden/collapsed sections (such as notes, alerts, or URL fields) that may have been relocated under sub-menus in the updated design.
  • Verify Default Calendar Settings:
    1. Go to Settings > Apps > Calendar (or Settings > Calendar).
    2. Tap Default Calendar and ensure you have selected an active, syncing calendar (like your primary iCloud or personal account) rather than a read-only or local-only calendar. 
  • Check Content & Privacy Restrictions:
    1. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
    2. Tap Calendars and make sure it is set to Allow Changes. 
  • Restart Your iPhone: Perform a standard power-cycle of your iPhone 16 Pro Max to clear out background UI glitches or stuck sync processes. 


Thank you for your very clear step by step solution. Now i have an option that says “Tap to Edit description.” And IT WORKS! Thank you!
