While it might appear that you can only select the today, month, or year view, you can actually see the overall daily events for any day within a selected month. We’ll show you how to find the hidden list view with just two taps. To view your daily events in calendar month view:

1. Open the Calendar app on your iPhone.
2. If you see all the months of the year, tap on the month you want to view to open the month view.
   
   
    
3. At the top of the screen, find the icon that looks like a rectangle with two lines below it.
4. Tap that icon; it will reveal the events scheduled for the first day of that month.
5. Tap any day in the month to see the scheduled events for that day.
   
   
    

Now you can use the list view in the Calendar app for a quick rundown of your month's events!
