Remove Facebook calendar in iOS 11

Did you figure this out yet? Oddly, my iPhone on iOS 11 does not show the birthdays from facebook but my two iPads show the birthdays. I don't want to see the facebook birthdays, I just want to see my regular birthdays! Unchecking all birthdays is not my ideal solution. I want to rid the facebook connection.

Hi,

I wasn't able to remove Facebook event nor its birthday calendar. But I managed to add a working Facebook subscription webcal.

I like the calendars but the built-in integration wasn't working since no newly added events showed up. Also I wasn't able to add a new Facebook subscription webcal (that´s the solution if you like to have the Facebook calendar, you get the link from Facebooks web-version of the Event site) since IOS noted it was a duplicate. This is how I did it.

1. end all Facebook sessions (Facebook -> settings -> Security and login -> show more -> End all sessions)

2. change your Facebook password

3. get a new webcal subscripsion link to Facebook event calendar (Facebook web-version -> Events -> (to the right) Upcoming events)

4. add the link to a new calendar on your phone (Settings -> Accounts and passwords -> Add new -> Other -> Add subscription cal)

4. un-check (ie don't show) the default Facebook calendar in the calendar app

5. check (ie show) the newly added Facebook calendar in the calendar app

In my case : All the Facebook events are showing in my MacBook Pro iCal right now. It’s in the Iphone IOS 11 that they don’t show in iCal witch is really annoying. Am i the only one like this ?

What I don’t understand is that my calendar is synced with iCloud; why the facebook events are not showing up in my iPhone 7 ??

There are many ways to sync Facebook Events to your calendar.

On your MacBook (MacOS), this is setup automatically for you as there is support for Facebook accounts built into the operating system. This is not part of iCloud.

On iOS before 11, this support is also built in. The support for Facebook (as well as many other social media like Twitter and LinkedIn) was removed in iOS11 so the Facebook calendar is not automatically setup on your iOS 11 devices.

You can add it back by subscribing it manually in your iCloud, and this will get synced to your MacOS as well as other iOS devices (see How To Automatically Sync Your Facebook Events With iCal on Your Mac, iCloud for Your iPhone, and Google Calendar | Turb…) . (After you have done this, you might want to remove the first calendar Facebook setup for you on MacOS as iCloud should have pull in another Facebook event calendar for you from your new setup.)

This issue seems to affect the Facebook Birthday calendar (on my iPad iOS11.1) which I can't seem to unlink/remove/delete either.

I already filed this as a bug during the iOS11 beta stage (bug ID 34033594).

We just have to wait for apple's engineers to get to it.

yeah is driving me crazy too! it seems they just forgot about it! if someone knows better please let us know how to remove that!

I havent but considering the fact that may be macOS fault, where the connection is still on, but is it syncing to iPhone the Facebook calendar? That i dont know...

The facebook birthdays do not appear on MacOS, only iOS 11, specifically the iPad and not the iPhone, which is odd.

I think Apple engineers are working on the removal of old orphaned Facebook calendars in the upcoming iOS11.2 release.

And update as to when this is being fixed?

11.2 i think

Let’s hope so! Lol I’m glad they fixed the text replacement issue in 11.1 finally

I am glad they didn’t tell us to do a full reset on our data to remove these 😝
