> A step-by-step guide to syncing your Davnode Calendar and Contacts on iPhone and iPad.

# Syncing with iOS

This guide will help you configure your iPhone or iPad to sync calendars and contacts using Davnode.

## Server Settings

Before starting, ensure you have your Davnode email address and password ready. Use the following server settings during configuration:

| Service                | Server             | Port  | Encryption |
| :--------------------- | :----------------- | :---- | :--------- |
| **CalDAV** (Calendar)  | `mail.davnode.com` | `443` | SSL/HTTPS  |
| **CardDAV** (Contacts) | `mail.davnode.com` | `443` | SSL/HTTPS  |

***

<Note>
  We recommend to always use an **app password** for connecting calendars and
  contacts.
</Note>

## 1. Add Calendar (CalDAV)

To sync your Davnode calendars with the native iOS Calendar app:

1. Open **Settings** on your iOS device.
2. Tap **Mail** > **Accounts** > **Add Account**.
   > *Note: On older iOS versions, this may be under **Passwords & Accounts**.*
3. Select **Other** at the bottom of the list.
4. Under the *Calendars* section, tap **Add CalDAV Account**.
5. Enter the following information:
   * **Server:** `mail.davnode.com`
   * **User Name:** Your full Davnode email address (e.g., `user@davnode.com`).
   * **Password:** Your Davnode password.
   * **Description:** Davnode Calendar (or a name of your choice).
6. Tap **Next** in the top right corner.
7. iOS will verify the account. Ensure **Calendars** is toggled **ON**.
   > *Optional:* You can also toggle **Reminders** ON if you wish to sync tasks.
8. Tap **Save**.

## 2. Add Contacts (CardDAV)

To sync your Davnode contacts with the native iOS Contacts app:

1. Open **Settings** on your iOS device.
2. Tap **Mail** > **Accounts** > **Add Account**.
3. Select **Other**.
4. Under the *Contacts* section, tap **Add CardDAV Account**.

## Troubleshooting

### Connection Verification Failed

If iOS fails to verify the account, it may ask for "Advanced Settings." Ensure the following are correct:

* **Use SSL:** ON
* **Port:** `443`
* **Account URL:** Generally auto-detected, but ensure the base domain is `mail.davnode.com`.

### Calendars Not Showing

If you have successfully added the account but events are not appearing:

1. Open the **Calendar** app.
2. Tap **Calendars** at the bottom of the screen.
3. Ensure the checkbox next to your **Davnode Calendar** is ticked.
