If you create a Google calendar from your personal Google account, chances are your calendar is automatically set to be private. If, however, you are using a shared Google calendar, any events you add are public. This How.com.vn will teach you how to edit your events from public to private using the mobile app and desktop website.
Steps
Changing an Event to Private Using the Mobile App
Open Google Calendar. This app icon looks like a flipboard displaying "31" that you can find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
Tap the event you want to edit. The event's details page will open.
Tap. You'll see this pencil icon in the top right corner of your screen.
Tap Visibility next to the icon of a padlock. You might also see Calendar default or Public.- Tapping this opens the privacy settings.
Tap Private. This will change your event so only you can see it.
Tap Save. You'll see this in the top right corner of your screen.[1]Advertisement

Unsharing a Calendar

Click ⋮ on the left side of the page next to the calendar you want to edit. You'll see a list of the calendars you have under "My calendars," and the three-dot menu icon will appear next to the calendar's name when you hover your cursor on it.
Click Settings and sharing. This is usually the second option in the menu.
Click Access Permissions. You'll see this in the menu on the left side of the page under the header "Settings for my calendars."
