iPhone Calendar invites not showing in iCal Inbox

When someone sends me a calendar invite (iCal to iCal) it doesn’t show in my app inbox, instead it is emailed to my iCloud mailbox where I have to open an attachment in order to add it to my calendar (I can accept in the email message but it doesn’t add it to my calendar).

There was a setting three or more years ago where you could stop getting invites in the app and I changed it. This was due to my exchange (work) email sending all invites to iCal and not via email. Very backwards right? Now that I have removed all exchange emails, I cannot change the way invites are handled for iCal.

TLDR: I need my iCal invites to come to my iCal inbox and not my iCloud mailbox.

Hello ValariaMc04,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with accepting iCal invites to your inbox. This article goes over how to accept invitations: Reply to invitations in Calendar on iPhone - Apple Support

"Reply to an event invitation

To respond to an event notification, tap it.
Or, in Calendar, tap Inbox, then tap an invitation.
Tap your response—Accept, Maybe, or Decline.

To respond to an invitation you receive by email, tap the underlined text in the email, then tap Show in Calendar.

If you add comments to your response, your comments can be seen by the organizer but not by other attendees (comments may not be available for all calendars). To see events you declined, tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen, then turn on Show Declined Events."

We hope this helps.

Cheers!
