How to remove Calendar spam?

That is a Rogue Calendar account. Your iPhone is not hacked.

If you are using iOS 13 then 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.

If you are using iOS 14 the Go to Settings ➔ Calendar ➔ 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.

I don’t know to remove calendar spam

Then I’ll tell you how:

You got tricked into installing a rogue calendar; your phone does not have a virus.

If your phone has iOS 13 or earlier: Go to Settings/Passwords & Accounts, look under Subscribed Calendars, tap on the offending calendar and delete it.

If your phone has iOS 14: Go to Settings/Calendar/Accounts, Tap Subscribed Calendars, tap on the offending calendar and delete it.

And in the future beware of "free" offers

Hi Steph,

I will post the instructions again to remain relevant since my response was first posted in January of 2020. Below is the updated response:

So I have this same problem but idk how it started it just started popping up and I have no clue where accounts and password is I have a iPhone 6 and idk what to do it is getting annoying when they pop up

• Tap the Settings icon
• Scroll down until you see Passwords & Accounts and tap on it
• Scroll down until you see Subscribed Calendars
• Tap on the rogue calendar and tap Delete

It started because you tapped on a “free” offer on a website or in an app, and it asked you to tap “Allow” in the next dialog that appeared. That gave permission for the site to install the spam calendar.

If you are using iOS 13 then 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.

If you are using iOS 14 the Go to Settings ➔ Calendar ➔ Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.

Thank you for responding. The only subscription I have is Apple fitness + in my iCloud account. I don’t know where else to look?

It has nothing to do with purchased subscriptions. It is a calendar subscription. Go to Settings-->>Passwords & Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.
