Virus in subscribed calendar

So today I was browsing a website and accidentally clicked on an advertisement that created a pop up about creating an event on my calendar and I accidentally accepted it. Now it becomes a subscribed calendar which has links that direct to suspicious websites. I manage to delete it but I’m worried that it may have virus that will affect my phone. Can I know if such issues will install a virus on my phone. Thks

That is a Rogue Calendar account. Go to Settings-->>Passwords & Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.


Note that it is not a virus. It is something that got added to your calendar because you may have accepted an offer from a pop-up  on a website unknowingly. Please be careful out there,


Good Luck.
