How do I block spam calendar invitation emails?

It would be nice to be able to mark an invite as "Spam" and have it be removed without sending notification to these scammer garbage people "I'm a real person who monitors this!!"

I got a spam invite that filed up EVERY SINGLE DAY on my calendar.

Navy165's solution is not tenable. I don't want to have to create a spam calendar every single time some spam comes in. We need a way to permanently BLOCK spam. Or at the very least be able to delete a piece of spam WITHOUT notifying the sender.

This is very frustrating to have a calendar fill up automatically with sale adds. I let it go for a long time with one and as soon as I deleted it, it sent a declined notice and now I have had many more. Please add some spam filtering and an option to delete and remove your email from a calendar invite without declining.

When I try this, I get a message that the sender will be notified. That seems like it validates my email. I've just parked in in my new iCloud SPAM Calendar and turned off that calendar. Please advise.

To Citre:

That message does not say anything about events to which you have been invited, only event that you have previously accepted, or that you organized (and would be cancelling by deleting the calendar). I think you should be fine by deleting that calendar with all the spam invites.

Apple made the same stupid mistake Outlook made ages ago. They dont have the declined or deleted without notification function. I wonder whether Apple are still living in today's world.

They seems have no fix other than turning off iCloud calendar. They just render their iCloud calendar to be useless.

I just got one of these... There's no way to remove it from the calendar without responding to it in some way. I can't mark it as spam, I can't delete the request without notifying the user... This is complete garbage, I need a way to remove these spam requests without letting the spammer know they hit a valid email.

I've tried what MPC6 suggested, we'll see if I don't get any in the future or if they just have to hit my email beforehand, maybe that will let me mark them as spam in my email?

Regardless, this obvious lack of functionality in the Apple Calendar program is just that, a lack of NEEDED FUNCTIONALITY, and needs to be addressed.

Thanks but will this turn off any other meeting request for which I haven't confirmed ? If yes, this is not the solution. And by the way, why apple doesn't answer with a solution to this ? I guess because they don't have any. I (and all apple phone users), might not be satisfied with workarounds. We want a sustainable solution.

But thanks a lot for trying to help... We appreciate.

I just got my first spam on an alias that I've only used for e-mail with my friends. Their address book must have gotten hacked. Apple, we need a way to mark these addresses as spam and set up a safe senders list

HI I've just had the same thing happen and have a quick and simple solution. Go go calendar, add the organizer of the meeting to your contacts, it appeared in red on my iphone for some reason, back out to home, go into contacts, find said contact, scroll down to' block contact' and select, invitation will disappear and contact will be blocked for the future.

On [Events found in email]:

I have had this setting set to Off already and it did not prevent me from getting the "$19.99 Ray-Ban Oakley sale" invite. The invite is not getting in that way, it must be some other loop hole

This has been happening to me as well. I didn't want to hit "decline" or "delete" because that would engage with the SPAMMER.

- If you don't use iCloud as your primary calendar, using the "calendar delete" method described in the post above might work. I did it for good measure.

- I also changed the settings in iCloud to receive all calendar invitations as email, rather than"IN APP".

So far, so good.

I started to receive these after my last IOS update. There are lost of glitches with this last update (IOS 10.1.1)

I am having Iphone "fatigue" and said I would never buy an Android, but am seriously considering it. Apples software for the iphone and ipad is so dated and I am asking why I ever paid this kind of money for a phone and a tablet.

I have had the same issue, i simply turned off the calendar slide button on the email used by the spammer to send me the invite, which removed, without confirming my email. all the unwanted invites i had been sent, there were several.... and were accompanied by an audible alert at 4:30 in the morning..... SOAB.

when you turn it back on.... all the emails return..

would be nice to just block the spammer apple!!!!

Tried this. Doesn't work for me.

As far as I am concerned, requests are sent automatically to calendar. I tried your method but doesn't change anything. Only way was to delete my calendar with all my other stuffs in it ...

dear APPLE : is IT that difficult for you to solve this via a small iOS update ? It is unbelievable that you company with your reputation just missed this feature (or was it done on purpose ?). I have 5 iOS devices at home and have the same issue with all of them and only on iCloud calendar.

Mick Gil, thanks for trying to help us on behalf of apple :-)
