iOS 18.0 Adds Calendar Icon Next to ALL All-Day Events!
Somebody at Apple decided that it would be a good idea to add a bright colorful calendar icon next to each and every all-day calendar event, as part of the update to the Calendar app in iOS 18.0.
It looks equally ridiculous and distracting on both my iPhone and iPad. And there is no way to turn it off or remove it. I would have to update each and every birthday, holiday, all day event, etc. with a specific time frame in order to remove that icon. I have hundreds of all-day calendar entries, that would be a monumental and time consuming task.
I rely upon those all-day events to show me the important stuff for the day, whether they are actual all-day events or not. They are presented to me right on top, in List view on all of my devices, which is the only view that I really use. Those all-day events are up there for a reason, but they are not always the only or most important event of any given day, and now they are going to be a big distraction.
I left feedback for Apple on the Support site. I would suspect that more people are going to complain about this as iOS 18.0 continues to get rolled out and installed.
