Calendar does not alert

When I set a date and time in the calendar on my iPhone I have a strike through the line Alert 15 minutes before> . The warning reads: "Alerts" for this calendar are disabled. To allow this alert to fire, enable "Event Alerts" in the calendar settings for "Calendar". I have turned on alerts in the calendar setting and still get nothing.

Even if Event Alerts is enabled, there may still be some settings on your phone that prevent Calendar from reminding you of your schedule. I recommend checking the following items.

1.Go to Settings -> Calendar -> Default Alert Times. Ensure that the alert times for Birthdays, Events and All-Day Events are set to your preferences.

2.Go to Settings -> Notifications-> Calendar. Check if Allow Notifications is toggled on.

3.Go to Settings -> Focus -> Do Not Disturb. Ensure that Do Not Disturb or any other Focus mode that might silence notifications is turned off, or configure exceptions to allow Calendar alerts.

Finally, to ensure nothing is missed, you can open the Calendar and then tap on "Calendar" at the bottom of the screen. All events will be displayed. Then tap the "i" icon and ensure that Event Alerts are enabled for each event.
