Turn off Calendar App Notification for All Day Appointments
I know how to turn off an individual appointment alert notification. But what I want to do is disable ALL alert notifications for 24hour (All Day) appointments in my Calendar app. How do I do that?
Here is the usual scenario:
A new calendar item is created as an all day (24 hour 12:00am-12:00pm) appointment in a shared Google calendar or in an Exchange calendar. The calendar item in those native applications (gmail or Exchange/Outlook) has NO appointment reminder alert notification. NONE. Then when iPhone synchronizes those calendars with the iPhone Calendar app, iPhone is adding a notification 10 minutes prior to the start of the event... In other words, at 11:50pm my phone will vibrate and chime. Of course, this is not desirable since I am most likely sleeping and don't want a notification.
(The all day appointment is typically to record something like a work vacation day, holiday, personal event (like an anniversary or birthday), etc. These kinds of things should not block regular meeting times and should just float on the calendar as an all day event.)
I can manually remove the notification for an appointment (and if it is recurring, for all occurances). That works fine if I remember to do it on my iPhone after I've set the appointment in gmail or Exchange/Outlook. However, I don't always remember, and it is an extra step that should NOT be necessary, since the appointments in those other apps have NO reminders or notifications set. Certainly none with a 10 minute alert!
This is really frustrating.
