Shared calendars randomly show up on my iPhone.

Several of my key employees and I share calendars so we can do scheduling easier.


Almost DAILY one of my other employees that have shared calendars get randomly checked and show up on my calendar.


I READ ABOUT THIS ON THE FORUM FROM ABOUT 2-9 YEARS AGO. WHY THE HECK HAS APPLE NOT FIXED THIS?


Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make this feature work as it was intended? It is not an option for me to not have shared calendars.

Latest upgrade today - When I did the upgrade my calendar was set correctly when it came back on it had other shared calendars selected.


PLEASE HELP ME.

Lawrence, I will repeat my post for you in a way that might help you understand.


I acknowledged I have shared Calendars on my iPhone.

You Said, " you shared calendars. But now you are complaining that calendars are shared."


Actually, That is not even close to what I posted.


If you know how calendars work on iPhones, you know it is up to the user to select which calendar they want to see on the calendar view and get notifications on, no matter how many shared calendars they have shared. You do not have to view EVERY shared calendar you have access to.


I keep (2) TWO calendars selected to show up on my calendar and get notifications on.


However, without any human touch, my iPhone randomly selects other calendars, and when this happens, my calendar gets clogged showing appointments from as many as 6-7 different people and my phone sends me notifications all during the day and night of other shared calendars that I DID NOT SELECT.


I keep shared calendars on my phone so when I want to schedule an appointment with one of my key employees I can select their calendar and see when they have an opening in their schedule BUT I dont want to see their schedules mixed into mine unless I SELECT TO SEE THEM.


So that is what my issue is, exactly like I said in my original post and this has been a known issue for the past 9-Years, based on a post here, BUT Apple has not addressed it. Then helpers, users and experts in the Community like yourself reply without reading the issue and have snarky replies.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I’ve never experienced that, but I’ll see if I can replicate it. However, I don’t use the built-in calendar because I consider it hopelessly primitive and practically useless, so I use Week Calendar and color-code my calendars so I can easily see which is which, and also turn them on or off as desired.
