Google Calendar may soon let you set default event length per calendar
Code in Google Calendar for Android version 2026.38.0-989268529-release hints at per-calendar default event lengths, replacing the current global setting.
Google Calendar may be preparing to let users set a different default event length for each calendar, according to code found in the Android app. The change would replace the current single global default that applies to every calendar under an account.
The code appears in Google Calendar for Android version 2026.38.0-989268529-release. If the feature goes live, the existing global default event length setting may be removed.
Currently, Google Calendar lets users change the default length for new events, but that setting applies across all calendars. A per-calendar option would allow, for example, a 30-minute default for a work calendar and a 60-minute default for a personal one.
The finding was reported by Android Authority. Google has not announced the change, and it is not yet clear when or if it will reach users.
