We hope this helps.

On your phone, Go to settings

Go to Calendar

Go to accounts, then choose the email that the calendar invites are coming in on. Then mark off email and Calendars. This will turn off the automatic attachment to your emails. I also deleted all the emails and blocked them. But just blocking won’t stop any future spam email attacks on calendar, therefore best to change your calendar settings.

For now, you will actually need to change the settings in outlook under options/mail/tracking to stop these from being automatically added, according to an article I read. From outlook it is easy to delete calendar invites as well.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to do this natively in the iPhone calendar.

I followed Dfsantiago’s suggestion:

Long press the event, hit cut and then there will be an option to delete the event. Block the sender.

but, I blocked the contacts from my email account first. Then I followed the long hold on one of the calendar events. Cut it and deleted it allowing the notification to the sender. I figured I don’t care as I have blocked them…..for now.

Press and hold for a few seconds and the delete option should then appear

Yep. This is what happened to me too. You can actually delete the calendar event itself in outlook without responding to the event, which is what you want to do.

This is happening to me as well, I found that if I go to settings, calendar and toggle the calendar off, delete it and toggle back on and save I only lose the unwanted invitations.

I could be wrong, but this doesn’t appear to be the right answer, unless you just want to stop getting any calendar notifications at all from the offending mail provider (outlook, etc).

What Apple needs is a way to get to the source calendar invite so you can block them as a contact all together.

I have a spam calendar event in my outlook account and the spammer set this "event" for whole month!! The email for this event was deleted days ago. And I do not have an option to be able to delete this event. My options are: Forward, Charm, Show As, Categorize, Private, and Duplicate event.

AARGHHHHHHHHH

This only helps if you're willing to sacrifice using the account altogether. I've done every other step Apple, Reddit users, and Microsoft has suggested and I still continue to get these spam invites. Its maddening. I narrowed down that they are in my junk email folder in outlook, when I delete that they're gone...until they send me a new email the very next day! I've blocked and deleted from both my iPhone & my laptop. I've looked for tracking settings in Outlook and there aren't any. I use this account for specific things so I cant just get rid of it.

Have a look at my response from Jan 21st. It outlines the step I used and it has worked for me. I have recently had another pop into my calendar weeks later. I repeated the steps and it worked once again in blocking and removing the events from my calendar.

I do not have an unsubscribe option when I follow these steps. I have tried in in the App and online.

I also do not have an unsubscribe button. They are driving me crazy
