Numerous events on Facebook cater to people of all interests. Whether it’s a festival or a group get-together, you’ll find something for everyone in any location on your Android phone. While Facebook has a built-in calendar, it isn’t something people use to plan their lives like Google Calendar. You can streamline your schedule and make it to every event by syncing your Facebook calendar with Google Calendar.

Align your calendars for a more productive day
Facebook has a lot of great events for people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests. However, keeping track of these events is difficult if you have to go into the Facebook app to keep track of them. Instead, add and modify your Facebook events to your Google Calendar. If you want to share an event with others at a certain time, schedule a Facebook post to let your friends know about it.
