iPhone calendar spam

I have successfully removed a similar spam calendar invite. Search you emails for ‘Melissa you have won a ….,’ When you find this email , block sender, and move message to junk and then delete message completely. Hopefully this will remove the spam invite.

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

Gordon hit it on the head. Works perfect. Press lightly on event in the day or week format and hold it till a message shows up. Release and an instruction bar comes up with “cut” as an option. Press and the bar changes its shade of grade. Press gently and hold again. A another bar comes up. Click on “more” and red delete comes up. Click and it is gone. Do not click on any “accept, maybe or decline” links which lets the sender know he or she has a live one. Good luck.

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.

This is how I was able to delete mine. I’m not sure if you need to do it in this order but this worked for me. I opened the calendar app on the iPhone and went to the first day the spam event popped up. I long pressed the even on the day (don’t click the link) and it gave me the option to “cut.” Once I did that, it greyed the events out but they were still on my calendar. I then long pressed again (on a different day, if that matters) but this time it gave me the option to delete. I hit delete and now they’re gone and haven’t come back so far. I kept declining before trying this and it wasn’t doing anything so happy this work but still annoyed that this can happen

I found how to delete completely!! Go to your Microsoft Outlook account through the web browser. Then from there click on your outlook calendar. Find the event the first day it was added click the event then click delete event. It will remove it 100%. This took me hours to figure out, but after reading a ton of things and getting nowhere I brainstormed with my husband and this is all we could think was left to do and it worked!!

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.

Thank you, Thank you!! I was trying everything else and nothing worked. This worked *and I bow*. And by the way, in case anyone is wondering, I was able to "cut" and then "delete" from the same first date listed. Changing to a different date was not necessary in my case.

Thank you so much for this! It was doing my head in, but now that seems to have sorted it. The same user had invited me to something every day forever and so a few of these actions and I'm sorted. Thanks again!
