any ideas?

How to resolve calendar invite issues and email loading delays after iOS 18.3 upgrade? After upgrading my iPhone13 to 18.3 I have had many problems getting email calendar invites to get added to the calendar. I have upgraded to the latest IOS 18.3.1 and the issues persist. My husband and daughter, both on newer iPhones, send me invites and when I try to add them to the calendar they either go through the motions when I click on the iCal.ics file and does not actually add it or it adds it on the calendar with a from email address of big-long-string@imip.me.com. Neither my husband or daughter have this issue on their phones the "invitation from" on their calendar invite shows the normal @comcast.net address. My husband also commented that his invites just show in calendar to be accepted or denied. Mine never have even before the upgrade. 2nd weirdness is with invites from google.. Example, the date for the invite is for Feb 28th, but when I click the invite.ics to add, it comes up with a different date/invite subject and the ONLY option I have is to delete the event, not add it. Lastly since the upgrade it seems to me that I get a very long lag when opening certain emails and get the little spinning wheel while it tries to load the message content. Thanks in advance for any assistance. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Cannot accept calendar invitations on iPhone Following the last iOS update I can no longer accept calendar invitations on my iPhone. I get an invitation by email which is correctly entered into my diary but there are no “accept, reject, maybe” options available (as there previously had been). When I view calendar on my Mac these options are available for the same calendar event. This is an issue others have had but as far as I can find there has been no solution offered other than a description of how it should (and previously did) work. Anybody know how to fix this iPhone specific issue?
