1. Find and Activate Holiday Calendar Options:

How to Show or Hide Holidays in Samsung Calendar (Step-by-Step)

As a Samsung user, I’ve learned that managing the visibility of holidays on the Samsung Calendar app is a simple process that can be customized to suit my needs. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide based on my experience:

Step 1: Open the Samsung Calendar App

I start by finding and opening the Samsung Calendar app on my device. The app icon usually looks like a white calendar grid on a colorful background.

Step 2: Access Calendar Settings

Once the app is open, I locate and tap on the three dots or a similar icon in the top right corner of the screen. This action opens a dropdown menu where I select “Settings” or “Calendar Settings.”

Step 3: Locate Holiday Calendar Options

In the Settings menu, I scroll through the options until I find a section related to “Calendars” or “Calendar Management.” Under this section, I look for options related to holidays, such as “Holiday Calendar” or “Public Holidays.”

Step 4: Enable or Disable Holiday Calendars

To show holidays on my Samsung Calendar, I locate the holiday calendar option and ensure it is enabled. This usually involves tapping a checkbox or toggling a switch to the “on” position. If I want to hide holidays, I simply uncheck the box or toggle the switch to the “off” position.

Step 5: Customize Specific Holidays (Optional)

On some Samsung devices, like my Galaxy S21, I have the option to choose which specific holidays I want to display. If this option is available, I tap on the holiday calendar option to expand it and reveal a list of holidays. From here, I can select or deselect individual holidays according to my preferences.

Step 6: Sync Calendar

After making my holiday visibility selections, I ensure that my Samsung Calendar is synced with my Samsung account or any other relevant calendar services. This step ensures that my changes are saved and reflected across all my connected devices.

Step 7: Troubleshoot if Necessary

What to Do If Holidays Are Not Showing in Samsung Calendar:

• Check Your Internet Connection: A weak WiFi or mobile data signal can prevent the calendar from syncing. Ensure you’re connected to a stable network.
• Force Sync Your Calendar: Go to Settings > Accounts & Backup > Manage Accounts > Select Google/Samsung Account > Sync Now.
• Restart Your Device: A quick restart can resolve temporary glitches that might be blocking holiday updates.

Step 8: Enjoy Your Customized Holiday Calendar

With the holidays now visible (or hidden) according to my preferences, I can enjoy a more personalized and useful calendar experience on my Samsung device.

Hiding Holidays on Samsung Calendar

To remove holidays from your Samsung Calendar:

1. Access Calendar Settings:
   • Follow the same steps as above to access calendar settings.
2. Deactivate Holiday Calendar Options:
   • Uncheck the box or toggle the switch for the holiday calendar you want to hide.
   • This will prevent the holiday events from appearing on your calendar.

Note that you usually cannot hide individual holidays; you must disable the entire holiday calendar.

Advanced Tips for Managing Holidays on Samsung Calendar

As a Samsung user, I’ve discovered that there’s more to showing or hiding holidays on the Samsung Calendar app than meets the eye. Here are some advanced tips I’ve picked up:

Sync with Multiple Calendar Services

By syncing my Samsung Calendar with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Exchange, I can populate my calendar with a comprehensive list of holidays from various sources.

Customize with Multiple Holiday Calendar Options

Samsung Calendar offers multiple holiday calendar options, allowing me to mix and match national holidays, religious holidays, and even sports events to create a personalized view.

Create Custom Holiday Calendars

If the built-in holiday calendars don’t cover everything I need, I create my own custom calendars within the Samsung Calendar app to track holidays specific to my region or culture.

Set Custom Holiday Notifications

I customize holiday notifications, setting reminders, alerts, or email notifications for specific holidays, tailored to my preferences.

Troubleshoot Sync Issues

When holidays don’t show up or sync properly, I use advanced troubleshooting steps like clearing app cache and data, removing and re-adding calendar accounts, or resetting the app to default settings.

Explore Third-Party Calendar Apps

If the Samsung Calendar app doesn’t meet my needs, I explore third-party calendar apps that offer more extensive holiday calendars, advanced customization options, or better integration with other services.

Check Regional and Language Settings

I double-check my device’s regional and language settings, as these can influence which holiday calendars are available and how they’re displayed.
