Since ios 16 the calendar app is getting invites for shared google calendars

Since upgrading to ios16, the inbox in the calendar app is showing invites for my wife's Google calendar that I only have shared access to. How can I stop these?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Found a work around explained in step 2 here: https://www.tenorshare.com/ios-file-transfer/how-to-sync-google-calendar-to-iphone-and-ipad.html


Basically uncheck the shared calendars from this location. http://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect


This is different from unchecking via the native iOS Calendar App. It’s certainly an iOS 16 issue, but it stops the invites and I can still see my work calendar via an iOS device.

Hi Turnershu,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.


Try removing the account inside Settings > Calendar > Accounts.


Then have your wife invite you to have shared access again.


If that doesn't explain the issue, reach out to Google Help.


Have a fantastic day!

Same issue here and my husband ever since we upgraded to iOS 16 and the two updates didn’t change it. Is Apple going to address this? We’re getting events for everyone in our company and it’s crazy. The only way to get it stop is to delete calendar from our phones. What happened with iOS 16?

well I just deleted my calendar from my phone and it’s still downloading everyone’s events. Guess it isn’t going to work for me. I went into settings\calendar\accounts\my email account and “turned off” calendar. Let it delete everything, rebooted and tried again and it’s downloading everyone in the company’s events that aren’t meant for me to my inbox. Anyone have any other ideas? I’m up to date on iOS…..16.1.2
