I figured it out, Go to Settings > Accounts and passwords>(here is the trick ) One of your Email Addresses that you responded to an invitation for is rejecting you response 5, 10, 15, second, minutes, hours, days, or years ago until now. Think back to what email invite that was when this start happening then turn that email (calendar) Off. You will get the warning message pop up {Delete from my Iphone} DO IT! Hold The Restart Button wait for it to turn on and go back into Settings> Accounts and Password and find the email address that had the (bug) turn > Calendar back on Problem Solved its been an hour and I haven't had any pop ups (OH YEAH BABY). It took me two weeks to figure it out.

AWESOME!!! This absolutely fixed the annoying pop up on my Iphone 7 Plus. I use exchange/outlook calendar at work and gmail calendar for personal items. I followed the steps and although I was concerned about the 'delete' part, did it anyway, and yes the calendar items do disappear for just a few moments, but they re-populate. Mine only took 2 minutes. Thanks BBOYOILY 🙂

My iPhone 7 on IOS 10.3.1 does the same. I communicate with an Exchange Server and my private e-mail server. This message started appearing on Tuesday after I worked on a site, reading my exchange e-mail calendar invites. Can it be switched off or fixed? It is very frustrating t continiuously have this message flash and then you cannot use the phone till you respond to the message.

Hello Howard,

did you find a solution to this problem? I have the same pop up on my iphone. I have no idea how to turn it off/interupt this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Deanna
