How to remove Calendar spam?

Go to the Calendar app -> click the middle bottom word Calendars -> It should show all the calendars that are showing in your device and under OTHER, there should be a calendar that says “Click to subscribe”. If that is turned on, turn it off or delete the calendar. Hope I helped a bit!

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.

Hi. My mum has had a similar issue with an account called EVENTS being added to her phone. How does this happen as it’s been adding some rude calendar entries in and has really upset her. The event urls were from load03.biz.

thanks in advance.

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.

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.

That’s because you didn’t read enough of the year-old thread you posted to, so you didn’t see this:

Hello Roberto-

I just wanted you to know 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.

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.

The right solution is on THIS VERY PAGE, 3 posts above yours!

Axel this didn’t help, my IPhone 12 has:

”Your phone data might leak! Secure it by clicking now

You are probably running iOS version 14.x. If you are then  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.

Did you follow the instructions below?

If you are using iOS 14 then 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.

Yes because the Calendar app itself will still exist on your iPhone. You shouldn't delete your Calendars because you don't have to. The spam calendar does not get attached to your Calendar app automatically. The user (owner of the iPhone) has to actually accept the addition request. The usual generally gets tricked into clicking the accept or OK button. The one surefire way to prevent spam calendars is to be careful while going through web pages on the internet and be aware of what you are clicking upon. If a spam calendar still manages to get on your iPhone then now you know how to remove it.

The same thing happened to me but I opened it is there any other way I can prevent my phone from getting hacked besides getting it wiped out?

Your phone wasn't hacked. You were tricked into subscribing to a calendar. Once you remove it according to the directions given repeatedly in this thread, everything will be back to normal. Nothing on your phone was compromised.
