Calendar events cannot be accepted or declined When I receive an event in my iPhone email from an outlook user the only option is to add to calendar. Upon doing that it appears as neither accepted or declined. I seem to be able to adjust that with my Mac, but I’m not always near it, and it is a double action for a supposedly simple action

ics calendar invites received on iPhone mail app don't get added to calendar automatically On other email / calendar apps that run on iOS, such as Outlook or Google (both web and apps), when an email that contains an ics calendar invite is received, the event is automatically and quickly added to the calendar app. It is added as a 'tentative' event until the user either confirms, rejects, or responds "maybe". This is great, because the user can see all upcoming events and plan accordingly. However the built in mail and calendar apps on the iPhone do not work like this - the calendar event is not added to the calendar app until the user opens the email that contains the invite. This behaviour is true regardless of whether the user is using a .icloud domain for their email address, or another domain, such as gmail.com. Is there any way to configure iOS to allow the native mail app to parse incoming messages and add events to the user's calendar similar to how the other apps work on iOS? I know that there is the EventKit SDK that can be used but I really want the built in apps to work like the other 3rd party mail / calendar apps.

How To Attach An Email To A Calendar Event! How to attach an email to an Apple calend… - Apple Community Above is the previous discussion, so I would like to try and make if clear what this scenario is, and a workaround in Ventura 13.2.1. (By the way linking an email by dropping it into a previously created event used to work in Calendar under Mojave 10.14.6! not sure on later OS's before Ventura) I've talked in depth with Apple and they told me they have taken out the ability to drop an email message into your previously created event within Calendar, however you can drag your email from your Apple Mail into Calendar directly and make a new Event, which will include a link to your email. Other things like dropping in a PDF file or URL, etc, still works as before. Can't imagine why they would take out the ability to drop an email from Apple Mail into a previously created event in Calendar? Hopefully this helps!
