Q: Calendar not automatically creating event from information found an email

Hello, I have upgraded to iOS 10 on an iPhone 6s. I believe that one of the new 'tools' is that the Calendar App automatically creates an event from information scanned from emails, but this does not appear to happen for me.

 

I have settings>calendar>events found in apps switched on, but no events appear in the calender from emails that contain a date and/or a location, I am using icloud email and have also tried gmail.

Would any one give me some advice?

 

**edit** it's this: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/your-iphone-will-automatically-add-events-your -calendar-ios-10-0172176/ that doesn't work, I am certainly not seeing the 'note' at the top of an email containing the information..

Thank you.

    Hi millada0,

    I understand that despite having the "Events Found in Apps" feature enabled in Settings > Calendar, you've noticed that this feature isn't working correctly. I'd be more than happy to help!

    If you haven't already, I'd recommend restarting your iPhone as a first step before testing again to see if the problem persists. Take a look at this website for instructions on that process:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


    If you're still not able to use this feature after restarting, I'd recommend that you reset all settings as a next step. Before you do this, it may be a good idea to create a backup of your data. Take a look at this resource for more information on how to back up:

    How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


    Once you're done, navigate to Settings > General > Reset and tap on "Reset All Settings" to begin the process. This will not delete your content, but will reset your device's settings like Wallpaper, Display & Brightness, Sounds, Date & Time, Background App Refresh, and more. Once the process is complete, make sure you still have the "Events Found in Apps" enabled in Settings > Calendar and check to see if this feature is now working as expected.


    Cheers!
