Delete Calendar Invite w/o Response?

I think I saw a few people had a similiar issue, but there were no responses to those. I'm hoping things have changed...😉


So this is my issue: I have my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 synced to my work Exchange server. When I receive a meeting invitation, I accept it on my computer. The invitation remains on my iPhone, however, and I am unable to delete it or acknowledge it somehow unless I Accept/Decline/Maybe again. I'd rather not have to respond twice to a single meeting invitation. I have no option to delete the Calendar invitation on my iPhone.


With iOS5, the meeting invitation remained after I accepted on the computer, but it would disappear after I opened the invitation on my iPhone. Now, it doesn't disappear, so I believe I will have to eventually start scrolling through all of these old invitations.


Anyone have any experience with this and might have some input?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

I would also like to add that I belong to numerous message groups on my Exchange server. I receive invites all the time from users on these lists that I am not required to attend, however, now I am required by my iPhone to reply to every one otherwise it won't remove it from my Invitations List. This is a serious problem and I'm hoping Apple can come up with an option to delete appointments rather than require you to respond. I simply cannot decline or accept to every appointment I receive. I'm already writing tons of emails to users who sent out appointments and want to know why I declined and won't be coming to the meeting, when I am not supposed to attend. This is doubling the amount of work I have to do.


Apple - PLEASE - add a delete appointment option instead of requiring the "Accept/Maybe/Decline" response.

These are the things that keep me from using my iPad as productivity / business tool and Mac replacement. I cannot even work with calender in a reasonable way.


Currently I have several business meeting invitations hanging around in my IOS calender which I already replied to from my work Outlook. I really do not want to reply again. This is also true for work calender invitations I forwarded to my private email/calender from my work Outlook. I really do not want to reply to the invitation, creating an email from my private email address to my work collegues / customers.

My workaround is to disable network access, accept the invitation and then delete the outgoing email.


This is just required to use an IOS device in a work environment. I really cannot understand that there is no progress over all those years. The same with multiple Exchange calenders, wich appear in calender on MacOSX, but not on IOS calender. I cannot even see my Exchange travel itinary calender on my iPhone.

I would like to know the same thing. I just receive an ICLOUD calendar invite from someone I do not know. I do not want to reply. It is spam since the invite is repeating all over my year with *no end date*. What's worse it's not in my inbox so I am very curious how I even received this. Could someone have sent a malicious text message with a calendar invite and even though I didn't open it could it have linked to my ICLOUD calendar?

I only looked because it is imperative a solution is given. Yesterday I was spammed and it repeated the same message, all-day time frame again today. Responding could mean virus, so exactly how does Apple expect its user to proceed? I am not at all happy that I don't have the freedom to remove something without completely removing everything. Apple, are you ever going to respond? This is now URGENT for all of your users!

I also received a spam calendar request that I can accept or decline. In both cases e-mail will be sent to spammer. I do not want that. I was able to turn of iCloud calendar, delete sync data, and it removed the spam invite from my iPad but it's still on my iPhone with no red bubble. It would be good to be able to swipe and delete/block/report spam invitations. 😉
