IOS update 16.2 removed events from my calendar. I tried to restore from back up from iCloud but events still don't appear. Reminders are still popping up. My calendar no longer. All dates have dots that usually indicate there are events on that date when there actually aren't any events. The calendar on my iPad was not affected by the update. Any suggestions how I can restore my calendar to the same set up and events prior to the update installation?

Be very careful.
I'm referring to the calendar app that's preinstalled on the iPhone (which backs up to icloud). I have other calendars (outlook, yahoo, google) but those were not impacted with the install of the update.
I went to Settings/Calendars/Accounts and see all of my "accounts". I have calendars in MSN/Outlook, Google and Yahoo but those don't sync with the calendar app. When I create an event in the app, it doesn't sync with Outlook, Google or Yahoo. When I create an event in Outlook, it does not sync with the app.
If they appear in “accounts” and Calendar is turned on then they will appear in the Calendar app.
Then in Settings/Calendar check the setting for Default Calendar. This is the calendar that new entries will be added to.
Next, open the Calendar app, tap on Calendars, and make sure they are all checked.
Ok. I had the default calendar set to the calendar app. I've never linked the app to any of my other calendars. Who knew? (I certainly didn't.) I also found after the update that one of my appointments showed as an all-day event, scheduled every day. I deleted that appointment which resolved the issue of dots appearing on all days. I am not joined at the hip with my iPhone and my use is very basic for the most part, but I am slowly learning to utilize more features and educating myself with iPhone's many capabilities. Your advice was very helpful. I think I'm all set. Happy New Year!
You have asked us to guess the most important piece of information - where your calendar is housed.
Check Settings > Calendar > Accounts. Check what account(s) there reference(s) calendars.
The calendar app is just a display vehicle for calendars hosted on email servers. Go to Settings/Calendars/Accounts and verify which servers provide your calendar events.
Indeed, Happy New Year!
