Calendar spam invitations

Since updating to iOS 16.7 I have begun receiving spam invitations in my calendar inbox. I did find an unfamiliar calendar and deleted it, but the spam persists. Is there a way to clear the inbox without accepting or declining an invitation? Suggestions offered 3-6 years ago no longer seem to be valid.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Unable to delete calendar spam My 2025 iPhone calendar is suddenly full of spam which I cannot delete, unsubscribe or block. The only guidance I can find about calendar spam refers to options which aren’t on my iphone (13 pro) settings (e.g. “passwords and accounts”) or available when selecting the repeat spam calendar invitations. Any clues?

Deleting spam iPhone calendar invites (how to) I had spam calendar events, which when deleted just kept coming back. Very annoying as I had a month’s worth with alerts set which kept going off with spam promotional offers! I’ve found a way to get rid of them, if you need help getting rid of them too, please use the steps below: Open the spam event in your calendar. Select the sender’s email address and copy it. Open your mail app, paste the email address into the search bar and it will find corresponding spam emails from the sender in your emails. Tap the contact and on the next menu screen select ‘block this contact’. Then delete the email. when you switch back to the calendar app, you’ll find that the invite has gone.
