iOS 15.1 Calendar app is laggy and unreliable

When swiping between days, data often shows up as stale (events on the wrong day, or events at the "right" time but with wrong title).


Keeping the same day view open for up to 10 seconds seems to correct the issue (temporarily). This appears to be some kind of caching bug.


(This was *not* an issue in 15.0, 15.0.1 or 15.0.2. I have one MS Exchange calendar and three Google calendars.)

I am having the same issue on my iPhone 12 Pro.

I have found a sort of workaround to get the display to act normally.

When you are looking at a day in your calendar and you are sure it is displaying incorrectly (or just want to be sure) switch to Dark mode and back to light mode (or whichever the inverse is).


In my case I have dark mode controls in my control centre so it is a quick couple of swipes.


The issue as I said, is knowing that your calendar is displaying incorrectly in the first place...

I have had same issue with iPhone 8 and iOS 15.1. I isntalled Finnish calendar and it works fine. After some days I uninstalled the iOS calendar app. Reinstalled iOS calendar app back after some days and now it seems to be working.

Tried and reinstall everything on the phone and restore te backup prior to this and it dint help. So reinstalling only the calendrar app was a quite simple solution.

I've been having severe lagging issues since I installed 15.1 in early October. I tried most suggestions, nothing worked. I just decided to see if deleting recurring meetings might help. I had an invitation to weekly zoom meeting on my calendar w/link to zoom log in. I delete this recurring weekly meeting and so far the lag has disappeared. Not sure why this would make a difference but I'll keep checking on post again in a few days w update on responsiveness.
