Calendar Invitations from iPhone Not Being Received by Google Calendar Users
Issue: Calendar Invitations from iPhone Not Being Received by Google Calendar Users
Problem:
I’m trying to send a calendar invitation from my iPhone Calendar app to someone who uses Google Calendar, but they are not receiving the invite.
Steps I Followed:
1. Opened the Calendar app on my iPhone.
2. Created a new event with all the details.
3. Added the recipient’s email address under Invitees (they use Google Calendar).
4. Saved the event, and it showed as “Pending” under Invitees.
What’s Happening:
• The invitee never receives the email invitation.
• The event does not appear in their Google Calendar.
• I tried resending the invite, but it still doesn’t work.
• I confirmed that their email address is correct.
• I also checked that I’m using my iCloud calendar (not a local calendar).
What I’ve Tried:
✅ Resent the invitation.
✅ Asked the invitee to check their spam folder.
✅ Verified that I’m using an iCloud calendar (not a local one).
✅ Made sure the recipient’s Google Calendar settings allow event invitations.
✅ Tried adding my Google account to my iPhone Calendar and sending the invite from there.
Has anyone else experienced this?
• Is there a known issue with sending invites from iPhone Calendar to Google Calendar?
• Are there any settings I might be missing?
• Any solutions that worked for you?
Thanks in advance for your help!
