Spam iphone calendar invites that I cannot unsubscribe or delete

I am getting multiple spam iphone calendar invites with alarms for multiple days and have done everything apple states to do.

  1. There is no “unsubscribe” option on the spam calendar event.
  2. There is no unwanted calendar on my iphone, just mine.
  3. I cannot block the email address as there isn’t one.
  4. I can't decline the event either.


What can I do? I have a call scheduled with Apple support today at 2:45 PM but wondering why Apple's advise is so outdated.


iPhone 12, iOS 16

What helped me is to go into Settings > Calendar > Accounts; then pick the account to which the spammed calendar is linked to and switch its calendar off and on again. Note that it will ask if you want to clear its entries before continuing.

Afterwards the spam entries were removed from the calendar, but the valid calendar entries were still there.

I've spent the past 10 minutes looking for a third party calendar to add - any calendar - to see how the removal process now works.


Believe it or not, I cannot find a single calendar to subscribe to. Dozens, hundreds of sites that come up in various searches that offer alternate calendar apps, but not calendars you can subscribe to.


The only well know site I could find that offers subscription calendars is down.
