I have a iPhone SE with the latest iOS update, 13.4 . Why is my phone automatically creating scheduled events in my calendar. I am consistently getting notifications about “having a virus”, which I don’t. While getting notifications from dating sites I’ve never used before. How can I permanently stop this?

It is not a virus. It is spam calendar subscription. See this:


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 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.
