titleDetails on how to change the update interval for an ical feed on your iPhone

If you're using Apple Calendar, the default update interval is every 1-3 hours. You have the option to adjust this setting on your iPhone or iPad. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open the Settings app on your device.

  2. Tap on "Calendar."

  3. Scroll down and tap on "Accounts."

  4. Look for your iCal feed in the list of calendars and tap on it.

  5. Set the update frequency to "Fetch."

To set your desired update frequency, go to the bottom of the page and adjust the Fetch time according to your preference: hourly, every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, or manually.

Your settings will be saved automatically, and your iCal feed will be updated based on the new frequency you've set.
