Now every time I go share the link or somebody asks me how to do this, I’ll be honest, I have to re-read the staff and then end up looking for answers on Google. I remember done the sharing 10 years ago the page was simple. I guess Google didn’t want to take the legal responsibility for the consequences and doesn’t offer “hide from search engines” because it may not keep the page away from search engines.Īnyhow, the sharing page is crazy complicated and it could be simplified into a one pager. However, we all know this option may not work if some non-Google search engines ignore the setting and still index the calendar. I suspect Google could put there a check box to suppress the likelihood of being discovered on Google (Hide from search engines). The only time this option makes sense if you really want anybody find your calendar and update.

This option is dangerous because it makes all details of your calendar searchable on Google (and even editable by anybody).

I personally use Google Chrome on an iPhone. This is as simple as tapping in the bottom right hand corner and opening a new incognito tab, or private on safari. But for now you should avoid this by using the incognito mode on your browser. If your phone is as clever as mine, then it probably just opens the app as soon as you type in the address bar. You need to access your calendar from within a Browser instead. In order to get the secret iCal address on a mobile device, you should not open the app. Hopefully Google will make this possible in the near future! There still is a way to do so, but it is a little annoying.
