Calendar Spam

I have the calendar spam virus and everywhere I’ve checked says to look for a subscribed account under calendars. I’m not showing one to delete. I have IOS14.3.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

You have a spam calendar.


On an iPhone running iOS 14... Open Calendar app. At the bottom is the main calendar view, select Calendar to bring up the list of calendars. Down at the bottom, you’ll see an Other block with one or more entries, usually with Holidays, Birthdays, and Siri Suggestions. Though that can vary. Near the Other block (just above it), you should see one or more subscribed calendars. If you don’t recognize those subscribed calendars, delete them. To delete a subscribed calendar, select the ℹ️ button to the right of the rogue calendar entry, scroll down, and select Delete.


That Apple article is unfortunately incomplete. I’ve reported that, but... here we are.

It should show as subscribed then, or a calendar listed in your list of calendars that you do not recognize. When you open Calendar, go to the bottom of the page where you see the word Calendar, then look at the list of calendars there. You should see one that matches the color of the events that you are seeing, and the name will not match anything that you subscribed to. That is what you need to remove.


Lots of people have experienced spam calendars.
