Importing .ics calendar events from emails

I have recently upgraded my iPhone 5C to IOS 10 and I am unable to import all events within an .ics calendar file into the standard calendar app from an email.

Previously under older IOS's the method was the following:

1. Open email message containing .ics file.

2. Tap the .ics file to view a list of events.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the events and tap 'add all' then select the calendar to which the events are to be added.

There is no longer an 'add all' button. I have tried to add the events one at a time but this doesn't seem to work half the time.

iPhone 5c, iOS 10

Thanks for the hint. I know ... but this is an unnecessary workaround. They should leve it to the user if she/he wants to take the risk for dupe entries in her/his calendar (see possts above).

@geohai

he "Add all" button does not show up.

The WeekCal app uses the regular iOS calendar. For me it is just to have another look and feel and easier access to options.

Apple has clearly missed the logic boat on this one and it drives me nuts when Apple removes features we depend upon. I need this feature.
