I have a virus that has an infinite pop up.

Call 1855755**** and because it's infinity pop up I can't do anything, can't turn off phone, I removed the SIM card and nothing changed. Is there anything I can do to remove please? I clicked cancel on a pop up ad, and it entered a infinity Calander event. Due to the infinite pop up I can't do anything with my iPhone. Any help please?

check here for calendar stuff


For iOS 13 and earlier: go to Settings/Passwords & Accounts; look under Subscribed Calendars, tap on the spam calendar and tap delete.


For iOS 14: go to Settings/Calendar/Accounts; look under Subscribed Calendars, tap on the spam calendar and tap delete.

try a force restart of your iPhone
