The selected account in Google Calendar on iPhone or iPad matters when creating events and tasks. Several enabled accounts can contribute calendars to the same grid. Seeing them together does not mean a new entry automatically belongs to the Google Account you intended.
Inspect the profile selection
Use portrait orientation and tap the profile picture in Google’s Calendar app. Select the intended enabled account. Google’s guidance says the current account appears at the top of the Menu and other enabled accounts below it. Save unfinished edits before switching.
Review the destination while creating
Start an Event and inspect the calendar name near the top. Choose the correct editable calendar explicitly. Google distinguishes local calendars from third-party services and Google Accounts, with some common features unavailable outside the Google Account route.
The guidance says the app may automatically switch to an account that supports a feature the current account cannot use. Review the resulting account and saved destination instead of relying on the profile you remember selecting earlier.
Verify the intended record
Save and reopen a representative event, checking its calendar identity. If Google cross-device access is required, confirm that same record in the intended account’s web calendar. Keep this check separate from configuring Apple Calendar, which is another application with its own account setup. Do not remove an account merely because one event is in a different calendar. First identify where it was actually saved and whether an existing correct copy is already present. The completed review should establish both the active app context and the entry’s destination, without claiming that one profile image proves every visible event has the same owner or synchronization route.
