Since the last iOS update - my calendar refuses to show information. Each time I try to open it - it says No Invitations and will not let me see anything else.

My iPhone 11 Max Pro running iOS 14.5.1 daily (and unpredictably) won't open Calendar ... all it states is "No Invitations" ... there is no "DONE" button to push. The screen is simply frozen in white and the only way to open is to reboot the iPhone ... not something that one wants to do when you need to review your Calendar in a hurry. I have gone into Settings and changed the "Sync" function from "All Events" to about every permutation. It then works for a period of time (a minute to an hour?) and then reverts to the dreaded "No Invitations" screen (still without a "DONE" button) and I'm back to turning off / on the iPhone in order to open Calendar ... yet again for an indeterminant period of time before it defaults to "No Invitations." Can anyone please help .... Where's Apple on all this? Thanks.

HomerTheKing,

When my white screen displays "No Invitations", I can't close the screen and there is no button with which to "close the app completely." All that's left for me to do is to power the iPhone OFF ... wait a minute and then re-power (boot) the iPhone ... and when the Apple logo appears and disappears, Outlook works ... including Calendar. That is, until it mysteriously goes frozen again when I open Calendar ... Any suggestions?

The only thing that has consistently worked for me, is what someone else recommended which is to turn your phone to landscape when you have calendar open and then the details all seem to appear! When you turn your phone back to portrait whilst with the calendar open, you can then still see it. It only works whilst you have it open, so you have todo it again when you open calendar again, but at least you can see what’s in there!

Come on Apple - time for a fix!!!!!

I read this from another user and it works great because I to use my calendar for everything. Turn your phone to landscape while in your calendar and it will reappear. Don’t ha e to shut down or delete and reinstall the app.

I have had this problem for months. Another user posted to turn your phone to landscape while on the calendar when it says ‘no invitations’. It works!!!!!

Apple will not help at all despite their update creating the problem. Good luck.

SierraHar- Thank you. This worked for me. I completely deleted my calendar App, and then went to the App Store and downloaded the calendar App that had productivity under the name and voila…my calendar appointments all reappeared. Thank you!

When I go into my calendar - on the top left hand - it states back not the month I'm in. When I scroll thru my calendar only certain months show up but mostly its says back. Very frustrating bc I have to go back and check on my clients schedules.

The master copy of the calendar data is on the mail server associated with the online calendar. Each time you open the calendar it reads the server checking for updates. So the speed of your internet connection and the speed of the server contribute to the time needed to refresh the calendar.

I tend to disagree as there is a local cache of all calendar entries and even if you are in airplane mode the app is not responding the same as it did prior to 15.1 upgrade. All the same calendars and same volume of entries existed over time. This is a new issue vs. always existing. There is definately an issue, I am seeing a large number of people posting the same thing.

Hopefully a patch will be released soon.

Disagree all you want, but every time you open the calendar it checks for updates. And if you are in airplane mode there’s a good chance that slows it down even more, as the phone attempts and fails to connect to the server. And I doubt there is a patch for this very rare issue; it doesn’t happen with any of the 4 iOS devices in my household, with any of the 12 calendars the apps display. It’s an issue with your phone; it would probably be worthwhile contacting Apple for help with it using the Get Support link at the top of this page.

What is the source of the calendar data on your phone; go to Settings/Calendar/Accounts to see which calendars your phone syncs to.

Hi Lawrence. I would suggest reading through the previous comments. Just because it is not happening on your devices does not mean that this isn't a wider issue. Several people have reached out to Apple and the fixes they have provided were only temporary solutions.

Thanks.

sorry :)

reinstalling the app solves nothing :(

OK, I get that. But you haven’t explained what the problem you have is. Believe it or not, there is more than one kind of problem that you can have with an app. Without know what your specific symptoms are there is no way to help you resolve the problem. And I never suggested reinstalling the app as a solution (and I wouldn’t), so I don’t know why you said that to me.

It worked! Wish Apple support was responsive to this posting so we could get the solution faster instead of having to hear more people moan about the same problem. Thanks to the person who called support and put the solution in readable form here.

I have a problem too. Mine might be a little bit different. I will invite someone to accept my invitation and I look back at it it’s not been accepted. I contact them and they said they accepted it. This has been going on since the 16.2 update and I really need this fixed because I don’t want to seem like a nag when I’m bugging people.

tried the fixes in this forum and some work briefly, but the issue comes back. however, i did find something that works, if a bit janky. when you get the "no invitations" screen, turn the phone on its side, into landscape view, and the calendar appears. Now when you turn it back into its normal orientation, the calendar is still there. hopefully, a real fix will come soon, but at least this only takes a second to see your calendar.
