ios 26.1 removed calendar edits/ delete option

My iphone 15 pro max updated to ios 26.1 and I suddenly have no ability to delete or edit personal events in calendar.


For example: hair appointment I added to Saturday - I click on it to delete it, and there is no longer an edit or delete option. I tried several other events and the same thing. I restarted phone twice & removed and re-added calendars in my calendar settings. Nothing is bringing back the edit or delete option in calendar.


Again - this happened right after ios 26.1 update


HELP

Try to update to iOS 26.2. I have no issue seeing the Edit button (upper right) or "Delete Event" (bottom center) in an event. Also when tapping the Edit button, there is also another "Delete Event" button if you scroll down.

I’ve had the same problem. I fixed it by going into the calender app and unchecking holiday calender. That takes them off. It’s as if they were somehow added to the Holiday Calendar. However, when I turned off my phone and then re-✅ Holiday Calendar, It added them back on. So instead of re-✅ing Holiday calendar I clicked on add calendar and added the holiday calendar that way. They did not come back on.

This if for iPad users: Switch to Day view and single pressing on the event will open up an edit window on the side where you can edit it. Does not work in the week view which I usually use on my iPad.


I am finding a lot of things about 26.2 that I really don't like and this is definitely one of them. Seems they did a good job of making iOS less useful, not more.
