How to remove Calendar spam?

Go to Settings/Calendar/Accounts and tap on Subscribed Calendars.

After going to Settings/Calendar/Accounts did you then tap on Subscribed Calendars? It’s just above Add Account and below the other accounts.

Although you can’t currently report and remove calendar spam on iPhone, iPad, and Mac except to just delete, Apple does have a process for handling this spam via iCloud.com, which may reduce it across all your Apple devices. Here’s how to address calendar invite spam from iCloud calendar:

1. Go to iCloud on the web and log in from your desktop or laptop computer.
2. Open the Calendar app once you are in your iCloud account.
3. Open the spam event and then select “Report Junk.”
4. Click “OK.”

When you report calendar spam through iCloud, it will also be removed from all Apple devices that are synced with your iCloud account.

Read the post marked “Solved” by Axel F. near the top of this page.

If you have iOS 14 the location is Settings/Calendars/Accounts instead of Settings/Passwords & Accounts, but the instructions are the same.

That’s what the official Apple support article suggests. It hides the calendar, but doesn’t delete it so it still updates in background. The better solution is to actually delete it:

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, look under Subscribed Calendars, tap on the offending calendar and delete it.

I was having problems with that, got help for it too, what is happening is a new account has been created on your calendar.

So, you need to go to settings, scroll down to Accounts click on the arrow, that take you where your accounts are, apple, maybe a gmail or Microsoft calendar, check if there is any other you don’t recognize. I found one I knew I didn’t accepted. I deleted that account, close everything back again.

That was it, open my calendar and there was no more scam messages and all went to normal.

Hope work for you.

I had this problem just today, but sorted it out in the Settings>Calendar>Accounts as above.

So this is a good solution as of 13 December 2020. 👍🏻

You were trying to follow year-old instructions.

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

If your using a newer version of IOS it’s under “Mail than accounts” you should see one called calendar something click on it and delete it

That is a Rogue Calendar account. 

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.

 If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account. 

If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account. 

Remove spam from Calendar on your iPhone

Going to Settings-->>Passwords & Accounts isn't helpful for my IPhone which is an IPhone 8. The Passwords tab exists by itself and has no sub tab called "accounts".

But when I searched "accounts" under Settings I saw the suspicious Calendar and deleted it.

Hi I have the same problem to have spam calendar in my iphone. But I can't find Password and Account screen. Can you help me to remove the spam calendar. It looks so scary.

With iOS 14 it moved to Settings/Calendars/Accounts/Subscribed Accounts.

On the new update just go to settings->calendar and delete any unwonted accounts
