Spam in my calendar

If you go to Calendars at the bottom of the screen there, do you see a calendar listed that matches the color of these events? If you see a strange calendar there under Other or Subscribed, can you uncheck it? Then you may want to check, it seems they get will add a strange mail account. Go to Settings>Passwords & Accounts and see if you find a strange email account there. It may be where the calendar syncing is coming from. Delete the account from there. You will also want to check Settings>General>Profiles, and see if there is anything unusual listed there.

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

Good Luck.

You probably authorized installation of a profile on your phone. Go to Settings/General and scroll to the bottom. If you see an entry for Profiles just below the VPN entry tap on it, tap on the profile, and delete it.

No, it means that you gave permission for someone to install a calendar on your phone. The calendar is just annoying; it has no access to anything on your phone other than to display ads masquerading as calendar events. It has nothing to do with hacking. Your phone is safe, but in the future don’t be so fast to fall for scams like this one. No one can install anything on your phone unless you tap “Allow” when you see a dialog asking for permission to do anything. Other things to keep your phone safe:

• Get apps ONLY from the App Store, never from a website
• Don’t jailbreak your phone
• Don’t plug your phone into a public charging station
• Use only Apple or Apple-certified Made for iPhone cables and other accessories
• Don’t share your Apple ID with anyone, including friends or family
• Don’t hand your phone to anyone while it is unlocked
• Never click a link in an email or text warning that your phone has a virus or your Apple ID has been frozen, even if it appears to be from Apple (Apple will never send such messages) - See—>Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support and Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support
• If you don’t have 2 factor authentication for your Apple ID add it now—>Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

You went to a web page or app that offered you something if you clicked on a link. The site then installed the rogue calendar. But before it was installed your phone asked if you wanted to install it, and you agreed.

I tried ur answer and thanks god my problem was solved , once I deleted the rogue calendar account from my accounts ; the strange alerts I have received on my calendar app was disappeared.

but I wanted to ask why this strange alert got on my mobile

Thanks! I had removed the calendar within an hour probably of accidentally clicking, did a reset and restored with backup file hopefully from previous day. Then updated the software to iOS newest.

thanks again

And does it mean my mobile was hacked 😟

I already have deleted the rogue calendar account from ( passwords and accounts ) but I am afraid if my mobile is still under this spam

and is there anything to tell me either my mobile is safe now or not 🤔

Should I be worried that any of my other information was taken when this was added to my calendar?

Only if you accessed one of the bogus sites linked in the calendar events and provided personal or financial information.

Hey Lorenzo, just wanted to tell you.... "Complimenti per aver raggiunto il massimo traguardo qui in ASC".

Praise where praise is due, my friend.
