The start of Black History Month and Pride Month will no longer be recognized by Google Calendar, and now users will have to manually add observed commemorative months and public holidays themselves, the tech company said.
Google had previously manually added both months and some other public holidays and national observances on its Calendar app, but that will change going forward.
In a statement emailed to USA TODAY, a Google spokesperson said, “For over a decade we’ve worked with timeanddate.com to show public holidays and national observances in Google Calendar. Some years ago, the Calendar team started manually adding a broader set of cultural moments in a wide number of countries around the world.”
