iPhone calendar crashes when adding location
Anytime I try to add a location to an event, the calendar app quits. This happens whether on creating the event or editing.

Hello noname007007,
Have you tried restarting your phone when this happens? Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
If you have does the issue come back again after restarting or are you able to add a location then?
We also recommend trying the steps in the article below for help with the app crashing.
Are you able to log into a computer, Mac or PC, and go to iCloud.com and create a calendar event without issues or do you get the same result?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
Hello noname007007,
We understand you’re willing to put up with this issue, however, you didn’t mention having completed all of the steps from the article we provided previously. If you have the time and/or inclination to do so, we have one more set of steps for you to try.
Delete built-in Apple apps from the Home Screen on your iOS 14 or later or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support -- Since the Calendar app on your iPhone is one of the Apple apps that can be deleted, try deleting the Calendar, restarting your iPhone, then redownloading the app again:
Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Redownload apps and games from Apple - Apple Support
If you’re viewing this with your iPhone, we’re providing a direct link to the Apple Calendar app: Calendar on the App Store
If you do not have the time nor the inclination, we totally understand!
All the best.
Thank you for your response.
Yes I have quit the calendar app and restarted the iPhone; still the same. I also have updated the iOS to the latest available version (16.3.1 in my case).
It's only on the phone though. I can add a location on the Mac calendar app and then synchronize via iCloud.
The problem appeared randomly, so maybe it will go away randomly too at some point
Sadly your solution does not help. Same error for me on 16.3.1 - using Microsoft Exchange Active Sync Account. Not happening with Caldav configured calendar.
Reinstalling the app / restarting iphone does not help in any way.
SnickZ, thanks for the suggestion
Indeed I did not try to reinstall the calendar app.
I am going to wait and see for now as I don't want to take a chance to mess up my data in the calendar.
Hi noname007007,
We understand. If you need additional assistance, we'd advise to contact Apple Support, so they can take a look.
Take care!
Disable Facetime worked for me - don’t ask why 🤷🏻♂️
Remove and reinstall the FaceTime app solved the problem for me
Uncheck 24h time in the settings/general/date and time
will fix this calendar crashing bug
