Red number on calendar app

Yesterday & today a red circle appeared on my calendar app with the number 1 in it. What does it mean & how do I remove it?

Hi jimsculley,


We appreciate you reaching out through Apple Support Communities. We'd love to help with this red notification badge you're seeing.


Notification badges for Calendar typically indicate an invitation to add a shared event to your Calendars. You can open the Calendar app and tap on Inbox at the bottom right to see any recent invitations.


From there, you can choose to accept or decline specific invites. If you're unsure of the origin of any specific invitation, we recommend declining it.


Here's a great resource with more details:

We're here for you if you've got any questions.


Have a great day!
