It is possible that you have separated your work and personal tasks from many different Google accounts and therefore the calendars are also different. You can add as many Google calendars as you want to your iPhone. Go through the above steps for each Google account you want to use.

Having multiple calendars is a better option, instead of putting all your events and appointments in one place. And why don't you use this option, while they are easy to set up?

You can set one of your calendars as the default calendar. Any event you add to the calendar using Siri or other applications will appear in your default calendar. To change the default calendar, do the following:

There are 3 ways to manage multiple Google calendars with the iOS Calendar app.
