How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the Google calendar for the Villas social events
Posted on Dec 26th, 2021
As of January 31, 2022, The Villas social website will STOP using an electronic Calendar from Google Corp as the means to maintain and display the social events and activities of the Villas community.
While a link/subscription to the Google calendar could be established with a resident's mobile smartphone or tablet, it was not very popular because there was no easy way to print a copy of the monthly events. Thus, no new events will be added to the Google calendar after the end of January, 2022.
Thus, as of this posting, the built-in calendar feature of the Villas social website will replace the Google calendar. When a resident selects the menu item "Calendar" on the social website, the built-in calendar feature will now be displayed.
If you are unsure if you ever used the Google calendar for the Villas social events, merely open your calendar app on your phone or tablet. IF YOU DO NOT SEE ANY VILLAS EVENTS DISPLAYED, you did not use the Google calendar and do not have to worry about it.
To the few residents who tested and used the Google calendar on their smartphones and tablets, the directions displayed below are for an Apple IPhone and will help you disconnect from Google. (Almost all residents who tried the Google calendar used Apple devices.) By disconnecting, you are stopping the computer requests to Google and thus improving your phone's battery life.
I do not have an Android phone or tablet, so I cannot give you specific instructions for those devices. Performing an internet search, the instructions I found say that a personal computer, PC or Mac, must be used to unsubscribe to the Google calendar. Please contact me if you have an Android device and want assistance.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
