Junk calendar invite no unsubscribe or delete or unexpected calendar on phone

I was looking at junk mail on my iPhone 13 16.6 iOS, I wasn’t aware of opening an email but my calendar popped up with a banner. Clearly the source of the problem.


I’ve followed every guide I can find, there is no unsubscribe option on the invite, I can’t block the sender, I can decline but it just immediately reappears. I have no email account or calendar account or mail accounts that I don’t recognise. It’s connected to one of my email addresses but it’s not in the calendar of that address when I check it not on my phone. I’ve checked calendar on a Mac logged into my account and it’s not there either.


What can I do to get rid of this? I can hide that email from my calendar but that’s a lot of necessary information I’m losing.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

Ok, seemingly found a solution, at least for now. Updating to latest IOS didn’t do it, but 17.3.1 has greatly improved spell check and predictive text for anyone who cares about that.


Uninstalling the email address in iPhone settings, then re adding it cleared it right up. This was after confirming the event was not in the calendar for that email address and was localised to the iPhone only. I’ve also blocked the sending address through outlook, not that that will stop the next wave. (My email address was part of a data breech for a company)

Good luck to anyone dealing with this and thank you for your input MrHoffman!

Interesting, I solved this last week and put the solution here but that doesn’t seem to still be here.


The issue was not present in outlook, only on the affected iPhone calendar. I checked the invite was not anywhere else, removed the email from settings - mail - accounts. Then immediately re added it.


That solved the issue for me. Good luck to others affected!
