How to Add an Attachment to a Calendar Event
System Requirements
This tip was performed on an iPhone 12 running iOS 17.5 or later. Learn how to update to the latest iOS.
In order to attach a file to a Calendar event on your iPhone, you'll need to make sure that you've added the file to your iCloud Drive (anything you've downloaded on your phone and saved in the Files app will be in your iCloud Drive unless you specifically save it to your phone only). You can add documents to your iCloud Drive via your computer or iCloud.com. However, you can attach files to events directly from your iPhone, as long as they are in the Files app. Once you've created the event and invited contacts, the invitees will be able to see the attachments in their own Calendar app.
- To create a new event, open your Calendar app, then tap the Plus button in the top-right corner.

Pro Tip
To add an attachment to an existing event, simply tap the event and then tap "edit." From there, you will be able to add attachments or send invites to friends.
Now that you've added the attachment, you just have to wait for your friends to accept the invitation to see it. They can accept your invitation by going to their own Calendar app on their iPhone. Do be aware, though, that this feature is only available to other iPhone users. And that's how you add attachments to a Calendar event on iPhone!
