iPhone Calendar Virus

I had the same problem recently and came across this discussion during my search for a solution. I have deleted the spam account simply. Go to “Settings”, then click “Calendar” then click “Accounts”. You will find the strange account that does not belong to you, simply delete it.

Wait I found a way to fix it never mind!

And for those that might find just this and wonder, select Subscribed Calendars, find the rogue calendar, and delete it. It can be easier to go after this subscribed calendar spam from the Calendars app list of subscribed calendars (on iOS 13 and later), but whatever works, works.

That’s a different calendar spam mess than the rest of this thread. Seems those ever-clever spammers have found a different calendar vehicle for their spam. Yes, visit the Google website, log in, and sort it out there.

Thanks Alex!

This helped fix the problem. Method Settings>> Calendar>> Accounts>> Select account to be removed>> Remove account worked for me!

With kind regards,

I am assuming you all tried the original suggestion of goings to settings and accounts to check that a rogue calendar hasn’t been installed. That worked perfectly for me, I just deleted the rogue calendar.

You may have accepted a new calendar that fills your calendar up with cascading events that ask you to click on a link. Obviously, do not click on that link. (You may also find that trying to delete individual events only causes many more events to appear on your calendar.) In the Ical app, click on "Calendars" at the bottom of the screen. Scroll until you find the Trojan horse calendar -- It may be in the "subscribed" section and it might have the same name as the button you clicked on by accident. Delete that calendar and the offending messages should go away.

I deleted it on my phone several times and it repopulated itself immediately. It was under the Google calendar section, so I went to my google calendar on my desktop and removed the calendar subscription there, which then removed it from my phone and it has not repopulated.

Hi There I had this annoying thing too, wasn’t in any of the calendar apps - i followed instructions from here, turns out it was in Reminders (i have iPhone 7 so old instructions sorry) but basically Settings - reminders - accounts - the hideous thing was lurking there - managed to delete it. Good luck. I got mine when typing in an IP address, and yes did I was doing it in hurry and boom suddenly its on my calendar, more care next time!!

I’ve got a similar thing - lucky I didn’t click into any links.

in new IPhone IOS, go to settings-calendar and view the calendar accounts.

i found I’ve got an extra account “subscribed calendar” with an unknown account name linked. Deleted it, spams all gone. :) thanks to this thread 😁

“Whatever it is” is a subscribed calendar that was offered by some website or mail, and was accepted.

Deleting the subscribed calendar from within the Calendar app is easiest, with iOS 14 and later.

The Path to unsubscribe the subscribed calendar through Settings is more involved, but necessary on older iOS versions.

Whether there was another issue due to (for instance) low available storage that might have caused responsiveness problems is unclear.

If anyone is getting these in 2021, you have to go to SETTINGS >> CALENDAR >> ACCOUNTS >> iCloud. Then check all devices that are connected to your Apple ID. I have an Apple Watch that is named as mine, so I know which devices are mine. But somehow another Apple Watch was added to my iCloud account!! So the moment I deleted that other Apple Watch, all those calendar “events” and notifications that were added to my calendar disappeared!

Users of older iOS versions:

• 1. Go to "Settings"
• 2. Select "Passwords & Accounts"
• 3. Select "Subscribed Calendars" in the "Accounts" section
• 4. Search for any dubious Calendars, tap them and select "Delete Account"
