Tap a Date in Email to Add to iPhone Calendar
Feb 22, 2011 - 5 Comments
You can quickly add dates to your iPhone calendar by just tapping on any date in the iPhone Mail client. Tap on the date, tap on “Create Event” and you’ll be taken to Calendar app where you can set the specifics.
I’ve used this feature for a while, but one of our readers sent this tip in with a suggestion: email yourself dates for quickly adding them to your calendar. Not a bad idea at all!
duh
I email myself dates all the time to add to iCal, it’s a lot faster than manually entering the data on the dinky virtual keyboard.
When I moved from Europe to New Zealand I changed the timezone on my iPhone. But, it seems that there’s a bug with the address book, because it shifted some birthdays of my contacts 2 days ahead. Even if I edit and try to fix the birthday it won’t save the correct date.
Have you seen this bug? Do you know a fix?
Is this date detection available in SMS ?
This is obviously a clever and useful feature, but do you know how to disable it? I find it a distraction.
