iPhone calendar spam

This is how I deleted mine. First of all I went into the first day the appointment appeared in my calendar. I held my finger on the appointment and it came up with the option to cut. After this I tried to follow another users advice to click on the next day and repeat the same thing. It did give me the option to delete but it would have notified them, causing more spam. I therefore decided to repeat my first step of pressing on the appointment again and cutting. Thankfully this finally deleted the appointment. Very annoying but finally it’s gone!

I tried that with a little modification and it worked. I got lots of unwanted daily invites for the next 2 months!! Pretty annoying. But all were duplicates of 3 different phrases. So go into the calendar app, then on the top right on the magnifying glass (search) I typed the first 1-2 words of one of the invites and it populated all of them. I made sure that none of those were legit invites (but normally I don't have invites that start with those words like "try our..." or "save tons..." Anyway, you can customize your search words so only the unwanted invitations show up. Then long hold on one of them and it will select all of them and give you the option to "cut" like GordonLu1 said. Then I clicked on the search window and long held and clicked paste just to finish the cutting action. Then click the gray "X" on the search window to delete the garbage that I pasted. Do this with the other versions of the invites and it will clear them! The other option is to search them and long click and delete, but the only option after you click on "delete" is to "delete and notify" but I did NOT want to notify who ever invited me that I am deleting it and that I exist, so they won't send me more spam invites. I have iOS 17.5.1 and iPhone 14 pro

My exact problem! Everything solution online has unsubscribe or delete calendars but that’s not the issue. I can’t find the email invite in my email_ only in my phone calendar. Just started after I updated to iOS 17 .0.1.

I have this exact problem also. And I’ve tried all the frikkin work around. And even searched the specific emails in my inbox to block the addresses. But some of them are not coming from an email that I can specifically find. So no way to block the contact. And I don’t want the invites sitting there so I declined them. This only started after the iOS 17 update.

-then account: in my case clicked put look

-turn off calendar.

Calendar spam has been a thing for years, not just with the release of iOS 17, as some have said.

It's also not Apple's fault a person has it. The user has to agree to allow the calendar spam to install. Usually, the user is tricked into doing this. Such as a site that has a pop-up stating a simple questions like, "Do you like this site?", with Yes and No buttons. The thing is, neither of those buttons has anything to do with the question. No matter which one you pick, you're really agreeing to allow the calendar to install on your device.

Anyway, Apple has their own video on its removal.

I was able to delete the spam from my calendar by holding down the event and selecting cut. Then I repeated this and it was gone. I also tried to hold the event and select delete but that would have notified the sender

It worked for me. I have more than one email accounts and, calendars for each of those emails. The ones I don’t really use I deleted. Praying they don’t find the ones I use. I will say I started having problems when I synced “Nurse Grid”. I’ve had to contact them in the past about other issues needing tech support. Check if your calendars are synced with an app you’re using. If you can delete. Maybe reinstall. But I don’t recommend that either.

Apple support needs to fix this issue. BrovisB worked somewhat but there is no way to stop it from happening over and over again.

All this began after IOS 17, I regret updating it.. Support needs to install a feature where it lets you block calendar invites

Thanks for the tip clearing junk mail worked for me!

In calendar, select “today” at bottom left. From the today view, long press on the event and select “cut”.

I just got one and I went to my junk mail and trash folders and deleted everything. It disappeared!

I’m having the same issue. I’ve been using my Apple Calendar for years. Looking to use a different calendar entirely since this seems to be a continuing issue with no update or fix. How do we report a bug in the iOS updates? Seems to have happened with the 17 updates. Thank you.

Agreed I did one but got another it’s after I updated to there iOS 17 update , first I lost my Wi-Fi which wasn’t fixed until the new update now this , I get enough spam as it is without it hitting my calendar.
