Wondering why I keep getting automatic alerts set in my calendar when the default is set to none? I’m using my email as my default calendar. Sometimes it’s only one alert for 30 mins, others it’s 1 hour and sometimes it’s both. There’s no rhyme nor reason to this. Any help is appreciated.
Pdfinest,
Do you find this issue only occurs when creating events with your Gmail account? Do you have the same issue when creating an event with any other account? Also, make sure that there is not a default reminder alarm set in your Gmail calendar. This article may help:

Hello Pdfinest,
Double check to make sure subsequent alerts (not just the default alert in Settings) are set for those specific events. As they may have been set up with alerts when created. The default options would not change the alert settings for those events.
For this, you have to tap on the event itself in the Calendar app and check what the alert preferences are: Create and edit events in Calendar on iPhone
Take care!
Nicolas, thanks for your reply. I’m a bit confused. All my defaults are set to none.
If I go to add a new schedule, it shows as having no alert, until I hit add. Once added, it automatically puts and alert for 30 min an hour or both. Each time I add something, I must manually go back in and change each entry alert to none. This happens every single time I add an item.
Hi Pdfinest,
To clarify, are you stating any time a new event is added and you manually choose "None" for the alert type, it automatically switches to on option with an alert time?
Also, when adding an event if you go back into the newly created event and choose "None" for the alert do the settings save as expected or continue to revert?
Keep us posted, and we'll continue to help.
Best.
My defaults are set to none.
of I go to add a new schedule, prior to hitting add, the alerts read none.
Once I hit add, somehow an alert is added to that schedule. Sometimes it’s more than one alert time.
Again, defaults set to none, adding set to none. Once it’s added to calendar an alert is somehow added. Please help!!
Hi Pdfinest,
We're certainly going to do our best to help out. Previously you'd mentioned that the calendar was linked to your email account. By chance, is this a work account? The reason we ask is that there may be server-side rules tied to the account, that are automatically adding these alerts. If it's not a work email account, does the same thing happen if you sign into your email account on the web, and then try to add an event?
Let us know what you find!
Have a great day.
Gmail (Google) calendar is the only one I use.
I want to thank EVERYONE for their help. Problem has been solved.
The culprit was changing the settings online on my computers gmail calendar. Apparently, it’s alert settings were over riding my iPhones alert settings.
I have since shut both off and it’s working fine. I can now manually add alerts to only those to which I need them for. You guys/gals are the best !!!
Have a blessed day !!!
This is not a work email. It’s a personal Gmail account. I’ve never added anything to my calendar from the web, I do everything from my phone. Thanks for any additional help
