I installed MCAFEE and Norton 360 premium and they didn’t find any issues but I’m still have event in my calendar that is saying “virus detected” and “your phone locked in 18 hours” and also it showing me a link that I opened with vpn and it was directing me to a an security app on App Store. Should be it’s just advertising?
That’s good that the calendar spam is gone. For future reference, be careful of accepting offers from websites to “Send Notifications”.
For your other issue, try turning off “Screen Time” at Settings - Screen Time = Off.
Assuming it was a calendar subscription that you don’t recall adding, that should get rid of the calendar spam.
Mcafee and Norton are pointless. All you need do is follow the instructions above specific to your version of iOS.
I just remove an account under of Settings - Calendar - Accounts
i don’t see any alert from calendar now but I’m still see that massage under of my Apple ID
Get rid of those useless apps. They are not needed.
Thanks, it worked
You are welcome, and thanks for the feedback.
