The iPhone's built-in Calendar app is experiencing an issue that stops 2022 holiday dates from being displayed in a variety of countries, including those in the United Kingdom.
The issue first became apparent around mid-2021. iPhone owners were under the impression that the holiday season would be the cause as the new year got closer.
Instead, a significant number of iPhone users are inaccessible because of the issue.
2022 holidays are missing from the iPhone
Apple graciously adds every national holiday to its built-in Calendar app so that we can effectively plan our time off from working (probably). However, you might be surprised to discover that, as per Apple, there will be no holidays in 2022.
The issue was first noticed via MacRumors, which initially believed it was only UK customers who were affected. However, many iPhone users across a variety of countries have reported the same issue.
The cause appears to be a glitch in the Apple Calendar services. Strangely, this issue is only apparent in current versions of iOS. Those who are using earlier iPhone models, according to reports, will expect 2022 holiday dates.
Users of Australia, the United Kingdom, and several European countries, which include Denmark, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden, don't have any public holidays this year (The holidays look as expected for countries like the United States).
Apple is Currently Working on an Update
The positive side is that it appears Apple is making progress in getting things in place. For example, certain users from the above countries report that public holiday dates are being added to the Calendar app. However, it's not working for everyone.
Suppose you're not patiently waiting to get a solution.
In that case, There's a chance that your government has an online list of national holidays as an ICS file, which you can download and add to the Calendar application.
It's the situation for those living in the United Kingdom.
