Where is the calendar in Xiaomi Mi 10: search, setup and problem solving

Xiaomi Mi 10 smartphones run on the proprietary shell of MIUI, where standard applications sometimes “hide” in unexpected places. Calendar is one such application that can disappear from the home screen after updating or resetting. Users often face the problem of whether it is not at all, or hidden in the depths of the menu. In this article, we will examine all possible ways to find and open the calendar on the Mi 10, including hidden folders, system settings and alternative methods of launching.

It's important to understand that depending on the MIUI version (12, 13 or 14) and regional firmware, the calendar layout may differ. For example, in global versions, the app is called Calendar, and in Chinese versions it is called Calendar.. Also, there may be several calendars pre-installed on the Mi 10: the standard one from Xiaomi and Google Calendar. We'll look at all the options so you can find the right tool.

1. Standard calendar location on the home screen

In most cases, the calendar icon is on one of the desktops or in the Tools folder.

• 🔍 Scroll through all desktops left-right – the icon can be on the second or third screen.
• 📁 Open the Tools folder (usually with a wrench or toolbox image).
• 🔄 If there is no calendar, try swiping down on the home screen to open the search and type in Calendar (or Calendar»).

If the icon was accidentally deleted, it can be returned via the app menu:

1. Tap the All Apps icon (a round button with dots at the bottom of the screen).
2. Find a Calendar (or Calendar) in the list.
3. Press the icon and drag it to the main screen.

2. Search through the system menu "All applications"

If the calendar isn't displayed on the home screen, it should still be in the full list of installed programs.

1. Slip on the All Apps icon (usually at the bottom of the screen).
2. Scroll down to the Tools or Utilities section.
3. Look for an icon with a calendar image and the inscription Calendar.

If the app is not listed, it may have been disabled. To check this out:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. In the upper right corner, click on three dots and select Show All Apps.
3. In the search bar, type “Calendar” and check the status of the application.

3. Hidden folders and calendar widgets

On the Xiaomi Mi 10, the calendar can be hidden in one of the system folders or only accessible through a widget.

• 📂 Google folder – if you use Google Calendar, it can be found here.
• 📅 Calendar widget – Click the empty space on the home screen, select Widgets and find Calendar or Calendar.
• 🔧 Systems folder – sometimes standard Xiaomi apps are grouped here.

To add a calendar widget:

1. Click the empty space on the main screen.
2. Pick the Widgets.
3. Find the calendar widget (there may be several options: month, week, events).
4. Drag it on the screen and adjust the size.

4. Alternative ways to start the calendar

If standard methods don’t work, try these options:

Important: If you use Chinese firmware, the standard calendar may be called "rili" in which case, try typing that word into your app search.

💡

If the calendar is still not located, check if it is hidden in Second Space mode. To do this, swipe down the lock screen and tap the profile avatar in the upper right corner.

5. Resolve problems with missing calendar

If your calendar is gone after you update or reset your settings, follow these steps:

⚠️ Note: Before resetting your calendar settings, export your data through Settings → System system → Backup, otherwise all events will be lost.

• 🔄 Restart your phone – sometimes it restores hidden apps.
• 📥 Update. MIUI through settings → The phone. → Updating the system.
• 🗑️ Clear the calendar cache in Settings → Annexes → Calendar → Warehouse → Clear the cache.
• 🔧 Reset the app settings in the same menu (below the "Clear Cache" button»).

If the calendar was removed as a system application (for example, through ADB or root access), you can restore it only by flashing the phone, in which case it is easier to install an alternative from Google Play, for example:

• Google Calendar – syncs with your Google account.
• Business Calendar 2 – Extended planning features
• DigiCal Calendar – widgets and themes for MIUI.

💡

If the calendar disappeared after the MIUI update, there is likely a data migration error, in which case only resetting the application settings or reinstalling through Recovery will help.
