Deleting spam iPhone calendar invites (how to)

You may need to wait for Apple to update the calendar app in a future update to prevent these sites from doing this.

Another way to check is to see what colour the event is in your calendar app. My spam events are purple. When I select “calendars” at the bottom of the screen in my app, I can see that the purple events correspond to my outlook calendar, which points towards an email being the cause.

So far the only spam events I’ve had are outlook events that have been added without my knowledge by spam emails, and deleting the emails has worked every time.

if yours are in another calendar or coming in by another means, I don’t know how to fix it.

There will definitely be a corresponding Email. Check all folders including spam and junk. It’ll be in there! Mine are almost always in the “junk email” folder, which can be found by using the “mailboxes” option to come out of your regular inbox and see your other mail folders.

Once the email is deleted the calendar invite disappears. I like to block the sender for extra measure.

There is no way to delete the event directly from the calendar app, (not that I’ve been able to find), it just comes right back if you delete or decline the calendar event itself.

check all emails in the app/account linked to your calendar and you’ll

find it. I’ve had 100% success with this method!
