Set as default calendar on mobile
Android doesn't allow me to set the default Calendar app to Proton Calendar, only the stock Calendar or Outlook
This has been introduced with the newest update on the Proton Calendar app for Android.
For those wondering about iOS: this isn't something we can support there right now. Apple doesn't allow setting a default calendar app or handling these types of links the same way (unlike email apps). We've looked into possible workarounds, but they would compromise the privacy guarantees we aim to provide, so we've chosen not to go that route. We've also asked Apple to open this up to apps like Proton Calendar and will keep pushing on it.
Thank you for understanding!

Being able to add events to the calendar from other apps (e.g. proton mail) is a critical piece of functionality.
Currently most apps allow sharing an .ics file but the Proton Calendar app doesn’t seem to allow importing/adding events from them.

@Kimaro Just so you know some device manufacturers don't respect notification settings, preferring their own apps. I can't say if this applies to your case, but I have seen it happen.
Nevertheless I support this idea! I would love to have Proton Calendar as my default mobile calendar.

This is the only reason I gave up on the calendar all together, it doesn't give the same giant notification (only a normal notification sound) that my samsung calender does/google calender.
Missed an important call I had to make because I expected it to give the normal calender notification on my phone first time I used it. After that I went back and won't go to proton calender until it's a feature.

It is really important. Adding calendar items from mail and web is really easier that way

I use a minimal launcher (Productivity launcher) where I can tap the date to open the calendar. Sadly I can not select Proton there, only Google Calendar and a different calendar app I have.
Fortunately I can open emailed invites I get in Protonmail in the Proton calendar app, though it won't send my response to the person who invited me, so they won't know if I accepted the invite. This makes a bit sense privacy-wise, but might be a feature with a warning maybe?

For iOS, this is not a limitation of Proton, but of Apple. Apple does not allow you to change the default calendar app on iOS (yet).

Integrating with the Android calendar API should not really have any security impact as it's a local access API. For example EteSync implements exactly that and doesn't even provide its own user interface for the calendar. Without system integration, the experience doesn't really match up to Google Calendar.

Just gave this 3 votes as it is critical to me. Would really benefit from having all my events and schedule on one calendar that is integrated into android.

To elaborate on this, the reason why you can't select Proton as the default calendar is that the calendar is managed through the app. In order for, at least on android I don't know about IOS, the calendar to be able to be selected as default Proton needs to open the calendar to be able to be signed in through a "less Secure" platform such as the phone instead of through the app. All that being said I 100% support this change. Proton please consider this!
