Calendar notification stuck in 'Inbox - New'

I don't know whether this works with iCloud. It never happened to me with iCloud. I use iCloud for personal use only, I get invitations very rarely. In contrast with my employer's Exchange where I receive invitations quite extensively.

By the way, the re-syncing of past events might be quite data consuming (I don't know, just guess) so it is probably better to do it on wifi.

Hey Marc

Glad to read that I am not the only one with this. Exactly the same thing with me and my wife's phone. It's so annoying.

Believe me, I tried anything I found on the internet, out of various forums, but nothing helped so far. Except to ask the person who invited me to delete the invitation and redo it - which is really not a nice thing to ask.

I will try what kalinav suggested - thank you for this, kalinav.

But still, even if it works it's not really an option. Even more so since I do not even want to get those kind of notifications - inviatations are fine, of course, but I do not need to be aware of every single change/edit that my wife is doing on the side. I just can't find an option to disable this.

Did you get any support via chat, as you mentioned before?

Thank you for your feedback, that's very appreciated.

Have a great evening, Alain

Another workaround would probably be to unsubscribe to the shared calendar - your partner can still invite you to events and vice versa but you wouldn't get any calendar notifications any more. I guess.

I'm having the exact same issue. kalinav's workaround is the only workaround that clears them.

I was hoping Apple would fix this with iOS 8. But it's still there (with 8.0.2 now)

Having the same issue (invitites between users that share each others calendar) for years now. I tried everything, from the mentioned workarounds like re-inites, turning on/off calendar synchronization, nothing helps!

It happens on my wife's iPhone 5s (iOS 8.0.2), my iPad 2 (iOS 8.0.2), my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1.2) and all earlier versions of iOS.

As soon as I receive my iPhone 6 I might consider using the family calendar in Family Sharing for events, but that doesn't bring the functionality of rejecting or accepting maybe. But is is less worse than all the hassle to get rid of stuck notifications in the inbox.

We also have a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air and on these machines I have never experienced the issue, only on the iOS devices.

You are a genius!

thank hank you for this workaround. that stuck notification bugged me to no end!😎

I Just had this happen and it is was easy to fix. Swipe down on the notification bar. Click the notification tab. Click on the event. It opens calendar and clears notification.. Hope this helped.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for as I keep getting cancelled appointments stuck in my calendar inbox (Work phone, iPhone 5C, iOS 8.4.1)

Annoying to have to keep doing this, but a solution of sorts.

Thanks again,

Bianca

It's not fixed two and one-half years later in iOS 9.3.5, either, but your suggestion helped me.

I tried this and it got rid of the 1 notification but soon after I turned the calendar back on the 1 reappeared.

Kalinav's solution is still relevant - toggline calendar off and on again in Exchange E-mail Account helped me unstick an Invitee Response with iPhone iOS 11.2
