My friends iPhone SE is getting messages over calendar app with some web address where he can get a antivirus program. Clearly it's something fake. He deleted an app but the messages are still coming. How to make it stop? Thanks

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

Open your friends calendar app and tap Calendar at the bottom, if there is a calendar he do NOT know, tap it and delete it. You can also go to Settings -> Calendar -> Accounts. If there is an account he do not know, delete it immediately.


On some websites there are pop ups where there are invitations to participate in a kind of "SPAM calendar" your friend have clicked add without thinking about it. I have tried it myself and he can just delete it again.
