How to add public holidays on Samsung calendar?

[TheDenny]

I used to have all British bank holidays on my Samsung Calendar app but not anymore.

Is there a quick way to add British bank holidays automatically?

@TheDenny: This can be done via the Google Calendar, either by signing in to your account using a browser app, or by downloading the Google Calendar app. Simply open Google Calendar > Tap the cog symbol > Settings > Add calendar > Browse calendars of interest > Regional holidays > Browse all > Select the relevant calendar > Click the drop down next to the holiday calendar you choose > Public holidays only.

Now, open the Samsung Calendar app > Tap the 3 lines in the top left > Tap the drop down to the right of your Google account > Make sure that Google Calendar is ticked > Sync now.

Thank you for letting me know. It works now. Shame though I now have two calendar apps on my mobile 📱 🙃

You don't need Google calendar app. Just the link as explained in previous post

Thank you. Yes it works. I deleted Google Calendar and the information is still active in Samsung Calendar 📅

Didn't even know I could do this, so thank you. 😁

Apart from the fact that my birthdays disappeared from the calendars and that Vesak suddenly became a holiday in Vietnam it seems to work. One question though, wouldn't it be better to just choose to use only the Google calendar and uninstall the Samsung calendar completely?
