Turn off Calendar suggestions on iPhone

Regurgitated an unanswered question from six years ago… the ‘feature’ is nothing but a nuisance to me too!

How can I turn off all the suggested past events with similar descriptions?

For example, I make/create dinner plans by making an entry "Dinner - Mike's", "Dinner - Joe's", "Diner - Eddie's". I have may be 20 different entries that all start "Dinner -XXXXXX". Every time ad create a new entry for Dinner - YYYY, I get the entire list of 20 plus suggestions. I don't want to see those suggestions, how do I turn them off?

Apple support's article:

says:

Find events in other apps:

Siri can suggest events found in Mail, Messages, and Safari—such as flight reservations and hotel bookings—so you can add them easily in Calendar.

1. Go to Settings > Calendar > Siri & Search.
2. Turn on Show in App to allow Siri to suggest events found in other apps.

To allow Siri to make suggestions in other apps based on how you use Calendar, turn on Learn from this App.

So you might want to turn that feature off in Settings.

"No, am using Calendar differently to you."

But you won't tell me how.

What are you doing here?

Does it happen on your Mac and/or iPhone?

The more people I mention it to, including last night in the pub, the more of an irritant it seems to be - nobody doesn't experience it, so I guess it's somehow baked in.

No, am using Calendar differently to you. If you want, you could send feedback to Apple. They will likely not reply, yet your feedback will reach those who could make changes. If many people are sending feedback on an issue, then we are more likely to see changes in an update.
