You can customize the notifications that let you know about upcoming calendar events, invitations, and more. You can also make sure your events and other calendar information are kept up to date on all your devices.
You can choose whether notifications appear for specific occasions, like upcoming events, and turn on customized notifications for specific calendars. iCloud keeps your calendar current on all your devices. If you don’t want to use iCloud for your calendar, you’ll sync your calendar information between your iPad and your computer instead.
