Move or duplicate events with drag & drop

Choose [Move] or [Duplicate] from the long-press menu to enter drag mode, then drag the event to a new date or time.

To shift an event to another time, you don’t need to open the edit screen.

  1. Long-press the event
    A pop-up menu appears with [Edit], [Move], [Duplicate], and [Delete].

  2. Choose [Move] or [Duplicate]
    The event switches into drag mode.

  3. Drag the event and release it where you want it
    The event moves — or a copy is placed — at the spot you dropped it.

  4. Tap [Done]
    Your change is applied. Tap [Cancel] if you want to back out.

Move vs. duplicate

  • [Move]: changes the date and time of the original event.
  • [Duplicate]: keeps the original and creates a second event with the same details.

If drag mode doesn’t start

  • Moving and duplicating by dragging is available when [Move or Duplicate via Drag & Drop] is turned on in Settings.
  • If it’s turned off, or if you’re in the list view, choosing [Duplicate] opens the duplicate sheet instead of starting drag mode.

  • To change anything other than the date and time, see Edit an event.
