- Drag three fingers down from the top of the screen to refresh your Calendars; you'll see a buffering symbol at the top while your events refresh. I did this while my iPhone was connected to my home Wi-Fi, and my events refreshed in just a few seconds. If your connection is slower, it may take longer.
