If you get unwanted calendar invitations or event notifications, you might have accidentally subscribed to a spam calendar. To remove the events, delete the calendar subscription.
How to remove calendar spam on your iPhone
- Open the Calendar app.
- At the bottom of the screen, tap Calendars.
- Look for a calendar that you don’t recognize. Tap the More Info button next to that calendar, then scroll down and tap Delete Calendar.
If this doesn’t fix the issue, delete the calendar subscription in Settings:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Calendar > Accounts. Or if you use iOS 13, tap Passwords & Accounts > Accounts instead.
- Tap Subscribed Calendars.
- Look for a calendar that you don’t recognize. Tap it, then tap Delete Account.

A new spam scourge has descended upon unsuspecting Apple Calendar users, and boy is it annoying. Today we’re going to explain how to safely remove it, so hopefully you’re not bothered by it again.
Not content with trying to sell you whatever product or service you have no intention of buying through email, now spammers have figured out how to worm their way into your itinerary. But spam sent as Apple Calendar invites can’t be detected like traditional email spam, and blocking calendar invites from everyone but known users would be overkill and undermine this feature. After all, there are any number of legitimate calendar invites you can receive from unknown users.
So, it falls upon you to fix the problem yourself. But wait! If you’re getting Calendar spam, do not click “Decline”, or try to Delete the event. These spammers are basically fishing for real email addresses. By declining an invitation, you send them a notification informing them that they’ve found a real, valid user.
There is, however, a workaround: a way to delete the event without declining the invitation at the same time. You just need to move it to a new calendar first.
Deleting Calendar Spam on iPhone
To delete Calendar spam on your iPhone or iPad, first open the Calendar app and then tap Calendars at the bottom.
Next, in the top-left corner, tap “Edit”.
Scroll down to iCloud and tap “Add Calendar” and name it something appropriate, such as Spam or Annoying Crap.
Go back to the main Calendar screen and tap “Inbox” in the bottom-right corner.
Now, tap on the spam event name and then tap “Calendar”.
Choose your spam Calendar and then tap “Done”. Repeat this step for any other spam requests you’ve received.
Again, go back to the main Calendar screen, tap “Calendars” at the bottom.
Then, once again, tap “Edit”.
Select your spam Calendar, scroll down to the bottom and then tap “Delete Calendar”. If prompted, tap “Delete and Don’t Notify”.
Deleting Spam on Your Mac
Deleting spam on your Mac’s Calendar is accomplished in essentially the same way as on an iPhone.
First open your Calendar app and click File > New Calendar. (You may have to select an account, such as iCloud.)
Next, name your new calendar something spam-centric, like “Spam”. If your iCloud calendar(s) aren’t visible, check the box next to each of their names.
Now, locate your spam invites and double-click on one. Click the colored square in the top-right corner of the event popup to assign it to your spam calendar. Do this for all your spam invites.
Finally, right-click on your spam calendar and then click “Delete”. If prompted, click “Delete and Don’t Notify”.
Hopefully, that should do the trick and your calendar will now be spam free. Unfortunately, this won’t prevent new spam from appearing in your Calendar, and you will have to perform this procedure all over again if new spam shows up. But at least you can delete it without letting the spammers know you’re real.
Alternatively, you can just choose to ignore it and it will go away via the passage of time, but if it’s clogging up the works, then this the only reliable way to with it at the moment.

Tip / Trick
The latest spam to make an appearance is calendar spam in your iCal . Have you been noticing these annoying bits of spam in your calendar and what to get rid of it? Many people out there struggle to properly delete calendar spam and don’t know exactly what action needs to be taken to permanently remove this stuff from their iCal. The following steps will help you properly delete calendar spam in your iCal .
Why Not Just Delete Each Calendar Spam in Your iCal?
Spammers always seem to find new ways to send spam. Receiving spam via a calendar invite can be really frustrating as you cannot disable calendar invites. Also, you cannot block unknown users who send calendar invites as there will be a number of legitimate calendar invites from unknown users. So, the only solution is to remove the calendar spam in your iCal .
However, an important point to keep in mind is that if you decline the calendar invite or delete the invite, it will send a notification to the spammer that you have declined or deleted the invite. Thus, they will get your correct email address. So, the only option left is to delete the event, without deleting the invite or declining the invite. Here’s what to do.
Delete Calendar Spam in your iCal From Your iPhone
For deleting calendar spam in your iPhone or iPad , what you will be doing is creating a new calendar, moving the spam to it and then deleting that calendar. First, you need to open the calendar app. Next, go to Calendars that is displayed at the bottom and tap on it. Then you will see an option called “Edit.” Tap on it. From the edit screen, scroll down to the bottom and then tap on the option “Add Calendar.” Now, name the calendar “Spam” or any other annoying name you choose.
After you have created a new spam calendar on your iPhone or iPad , it is time to go back to your original calendar and then tap on the option “Inbox.” Find the spam event you want to get rid of and then tap on “Calendar.” Choose the spam calendar you have created and add the event to it. Repeat this action for all the spam events you want to remove.
After you are done with adding spam events to the spam calendar, go back to the main Calendar, tap on it, and then tap on Edit and select the spam calendar you have created and delete it. Viola!
Delete Calendar Spam in Your iCal From Your MAC System
Deleting calendar spam in your iCal from your MAC system is somewhat similar to what you did in iPhone. You need to go to the Calendar app and then select “New Calendar.” Name it something like Spam and now go to Spam invites and then double click on each invite. Now, click on the square colored icon next to Spam so that it is assigned to the spam calendar. Once you are done with assigning, go to your Spam Calendar and right click and select the option “Delete.”
Conclusion
Spam is always a headache. The new spam you get to your calendar is a serious threat that needs to be handled carefully. The above steps will help you to successfully remove calendar spam in your iCal without giving the spammers the information they are fishing for.

Một tai họa thư rác mới đã xuất hiện khi người dùng Apple Calendar không ngờ đến, và cậu bé rất khó chịu. Hôm nay, chúng tôi sẽ giải thích cách xóa nó một cách an toàn, vì vậy hy vọng bạn sẽ không bị làm phiền lần nữa.
Không phải là nội dung với việc cố gắng bán cho bạn bất kỳ sản phẩm hoặc dịch vụ nào mà bạn không có ý định mua qua email, giờ đây những kẻ gửi thư rác đã tìm ra cách để đi sâu vào hành trình của bạn. Nhưng spam được gửi dưới dạng lời mời của Lịch Apple không thể được phát hiện như spam email truyền thống và chặn lời mời tham gia lịch từ mọi người nhưng những người dùng đã biết sẽ quá mức cần thiết và làm suy yếu tính năng này. Sau khi tất cả, có bất kỳ số lượng lịch hợp lệ mời bạn có thể nhận được từ người dùng không rõ.
Vì vậy, nó rơi vào bạn để sửa chữa vấn đề chính mình. Nhưng chờ đã! Nếu bạn đang nhận được spam Lịch,đừng nhấp vào “Từ chối” hoặc thử Xóa sự kiện. Những kẻ gửi thư rác này về cơ bản là câu cá cho các địa chỉ email thực. Bằng cách từ chối lời mời, bạn gửi cho họ thông báo thông báo cho họ rằng họ đã tìm thấy người dùng thực, hợp lệ.
Tuy nhiên, có cách giải quyết: cách xóa sự kiện mà không từ chối lời mời cùng một lúc. Bạn chỉ cần chuyển nó sang lịch mới trước.
Xóa spam lịch trên iPhone
Để xóa spam Lịch trên iPhone hoặc iPad của bạn, trước tiên hãy mở ứng dụng Lịch rồi nhấn Lịch ở dưới cùng.
Tiếp theo, ở góc trên cùng bên trái, nhấn vào “Chỉnh sửa”.
Cuộn xuống iCloud và nhấn “Add Calendar” và đặt tên cho nó là một cái gì đó thích hợp, chẳng hạn như Spam hoặc Annoying Crap.
Quay lại màn hình Lịch chính và nhấn “Hộp thư đến” ở góc dưới cùng bên phải.
Bây giờ, hãy nhấn vào tên sự kiện spam và sau đó nhấn “Lịch”.
Chọn Lịch spam của bạn rồi chạm vào “Xong”. Lặp lại bước này cho bất kỳ yêu cầu spam nào khác mà bạn đã nhận được.
Một lần nữa, quay trở lại màn hình Lịch chính, chạm vào “Lịch” ở dưới cùng.
Sau đó, một lần nữa, nhấn “Chỉnh sửa”.
Chọn Lịch spam của bạn, cuộn xuống dưới cùng rồi nhấn “Xóa Lịch”. Nếu được nhắc, hãy nhấn vào “Xóa và không thông báo”.
Xóa Spam trên máy Mac của bạn
Xóa spam trên Lịch của Mac được thực hiện theo cách giống như trên iPhone.
Trước tiên, mở ứng dụng Lịch của bạn và nhấp vào Tệp> Lịch mới. (Bạn có thể phải chọn một tài khoản, chẳng hạn như iCloud.)
Tiếp theo, đặt tên cho lịch mới của bạn là spam, như “Spam”. Nếu (các) lịch iCloud của bạn không hiển thị, hãy chọn hộp bên cạnh mỗi tên của chúng.
Bây giờ, tìm lời mời spam của bạn và nhấp đúp vào một lời mời. Nhấp vào ô vuông màu ở góc trên cùng bên phải của cửa sổ bật lên sự kiện để gán nó vào lịch spam của bạn. Làm điều này cho tất cả lời mời spam của bạn.
Cuối cùng, nhấp chuột phải vào lịch spam của bạn và sau đó nhấp vào “Xóa”. Nếu được nhắc, hãy nhấp vào “Xóa và không thông báo”.
Hy vọng rằng, điều đó nên làm các thủ thuật và lịch của bạn bây giờ sẽ được thư rác miễn phí. Rất tiếc, điều này sẽ không ngăn spam mới xuất hiện trong Lịch của bạn và bạn sẽ phải thực hiện lại quy trình này nếu spam mới xuất hiện. Nhưng ít nhất bạn có thể xóa nó mà không để cho những người gửi spam biết bạn là người thực.
Ngoài ra, bạn chỉ có thể chọn bỏ qua nó và nó sẽ biến mất trong một khoảng thời gian, nhưng nếu nó làm tắc nghẽn các tác phẩm, thì đây là cách đáng tin cậy duy nhất để làm việc đó vào lúc này.
En ny spam-svøbe er faldet ned på intetanende Apple Calendar-brugere, og drengen er irriterende. I dag vil vi forklare, hvordan du sikkert fjerner det, så forhåbentlig er du ikke generet af det igen.
Ikke tilfreds med at forsøge at sælge dig uanset produkt eller tjeneste, du har ikke til hensigt at købe via e-mail, nu har spammere fundet ud af, hvordan man kan snyde sig ind i din rejseplan. Men spam sendt som Apple Calendar invitationer kan ikke registreres som traditionel e-mail-spam, og blokering af kalenderindbydelser fra alle, men kendte brugere ville blive overkillede og underminere denne funktion. Der er trods alt et antal legitime kalenderindkaldelser, du kan modtage fra ukendte brugere.
Så det falder på dig selv at løse problemet selv. Men vent! Hvis du får Kalender spam, ikke klik på “Afvis”, eller prøv at slette begivenheden. Disse spammere er dybest set ved at fiske efter rigtige emailadresser. Ved at afvise en invitation, sender du dem en meddelelse, der informerer dem om, at de har fundet en rigtig, gyldig bruger.
Der er dog en løsning: En måde at slette begivenheden uden at afbøde invitationen samtidig. Du skal bare flytte den til en ny kalender først.
Sletning af Kalender Spam på iPhone
For at slette Kalender spam på din iPhone eller iPad skal du først åbne Kalender-appen og derefter trykke på Kalendere nederst.
Næste klik på “Rediger” i øverste venstre hjørne.
Rul ned til iCloud og tryk på “Tilføj kalender” og navngiv det passende, f.eks. Spam eller irriterende crap.
Gå tilbage til hovedskærmbilledet og tryk på “Indbakke” nederst til højre.
Nu skal du trykke på spamhændelsesnavnet og derefter trykke på “Kalender”.
Vælg din spamkalender og tryk så på “Udført”. Gentag dette trin for eventuelle andre spamforespørgsler, du har modtaget.
Gå igen til hovedskærmbilledet, tryk på “Kalendere” nederst.
Tryk derefter igen på “Rediger”.
Vælg din spam kalender, rul ned til bunden og tryk derefter på “Slet kalender”. Hvis du bliver bedt om det, skal du trykke på “Slet og ikke underrette”.
Sletning af spam på din Mac
Sletning af spam på din Macs kalender udføres på stort set samme måde som på en iPhone.
Åbn først din Kalender-app og klik på Filer> Ny kalender. (Du skal muligvis vælge en konto, f.eks. ICloud.)
Dernæst navngiv din nye kalender noget spam-centreret, som “Spam”. Hvis din iCloud-kalender ikke er synlig, skal du markere afkrydsningsfeltet ud for hvert af deres navne.
Find nu dine spam-invitationer og dobbeltklik på en. Klik på det farvede firkant i øverste højre hjørne af popup-eventet for at tildele det til din spamkalender. Gør dette til alle dine spam-invitationer.
Endelig højreklik på din spamkalender og klik derefter på “Slet”. Hvis du bliver bedt om det, skal du klikke på “Slet og ikke underrette”.
Forhåbentlig skal det gøre tricket, og din kalender bliver nu spamfri. Dette forhindrer desværre ikke nye spam i din kalender, og du bliver nødt til at udføre denne procedure igen, hvis der opstår ny spam. Men i det mindste kan du slette det uden at lade spammerne vide, at du er rigtig.
Alternativt kan du bare vælge at ignorere det, og det vil gå væk i løbet af tiden, men hvis det er tilstoppet den eneste pålidelige måde at med det i øjeblikket.

First, there was email spam. Then came text spam. Now, as more people use digital calendars on their computers and calendar apps on their mobile devices, many people get digital calendar spam. That means more clutter in our in-box from people we don’t know. Calendar invite spam has to stop.
A New Frontier For Spamming
Spammers are always looking for that way in to get their messages or links in front of more people. Now, they’ve found that they can take advantage of Google’s convenient email and calendar integration feature to inundate more people with their junk. Spammers previously went after Apple to exploit a similar calendar invite feature a few years ago.
Created as a way to help Google Calendar users save time with scheduling and meeting invites, the Google Calendar invite feature lets you automatically add meeting invites to your calendar. Although the meeting invite only appears as an outline until the recipient selects “yes” or “no,” the meeting invite still appears on a user’s Google Calendar.
The Calendar Invite Spam Threat is Real
Spammers have upped their game with this ploy. When a user clicks on the event description within that meeting invite, it reveals a spam message, which can have malicious links embedded in it. Spammers want users to cllick on those links, of course, because it can lead to the potential of capturing personal information. If a user does click on the link, it tells the spammer that it’s an active email account. From there, the spammer can inundate the user with unsolicited emails.
Except for the spammers, no one, including Google, is pleased with this new scheme. Google has reiterated its privacy policy and focus on protecting its users. Plus, the company has provided guidance on how to address calendar invite spam.
How to Remove Calendar Spam from Your Google Calendar
There are some quick ways to shut down calendar spam notifications from within your Google Calendar.
- Open your Google Calendar.
- Click on the gear icon, which is located at the top of the Google Calendar page.
- Select “Settings” from this menu.
- Next, choose “Event settings” from the list located on the left side.
- Change the “Automatically add invitations” option to the other choice listed, which is “No, only show invitations to which I have responded.” This means a meeting will only be added to your Google Calendar if you accept the meeting invite.
This process should remove all calendar invite spam from your Google Calendar so you can stop wasting your time opening invites that aren’t real and minimize your risk for becoming a victim of something more malicious.
How to Remove Calendar Spam from Your Microsoft Calendar
To remoe calendar invite spam from your Microsoft Calendar (Outlook), you need to remove the automatic meeting request process. Doing so will stop the meeting from showing up on your Microsoft Calendar in the first place. From there, you can delete the spam email in your inbox or opt to mark it as spam.
Although it’s a secure method for addressing calendar invite spam, it also means that none of your meeting requests, including all the legitimate meeting requests, will be processed until you click “accept” in the initial email invitation. This could mean you miss a meeting request, but it also cuts out the spam. Here’s how to remove the spam:
- In Outlook, go to File and then “Options.”
- Then, select “Mail” from the Options menu.
- In the Mail menu, choose “Tracking.”
- Under “Tracking,” deselect the option that says, “Automatically process meeting requests and responses to meeting requests and polls.”
How to Remove Calendar Spam from Your Apple Calendar
Although you can’t currently report and remove calendar spam on iPhone, iPad, and Mac except to just delete, Apple does have a process for handling this spam via iCloud.com, which may reduce it across all your Apple devices. Here’s how to address calendar invite spam from iCloud calendar:
- Go to iCloud on the web and log in from your desktop or laptop computer.
- Open the Calendar app once you are in your iCloud account.
- Open the spam event and then select “Report Junk.”
- Click “OK.”
When you report calendar spam through iCloud, it will also be removed from all Apple devices that are synced with your iCloud account.
How to Remove Calendar Spam from Your Yahoo Calendar
You may also receive calendar spam in your Yahoo Calendar. Yahoo has a very basic process for dealing with these spam Calendar invitations. Yahoo recommends treating the calendar invite spam like normal spam email by clicking the ‘spam’ button.
From there, you have to delete the individual event from your calendar separately. Choose the option that says “Delete” when clicking on the event. Don’t respond to the invitation itself or click any of the notifications within the invitation like where it says “Decline” because this will send a response to the spammer, which is exactly what you are trying to avoid. Then, you can also report calendar invite spam to Yahoo.
Remain Vigilant
Spammers will continue to “innovate” their exploitive tactics by studying new software and app features to get what they want. To slow the pace of spammers’ efforts and perhaps even discourage them, it’s important that we all remain vigilant when it comes to understanding and blocking their schemes.
Here’s to a spam free calendar in the coming years!
Nová spamová pohroma sestoupila na nic netušícího uživatele Apple kalendáře a chlapče to je nepříjemné. Dnes budeme vysvětlovat, jak je bezpečně odstranit, takže doufejme, že se už nebudete obtěžovat.
Nejste spokojeni se snahou prodat vám jakýkoli produkt nebo službu, kterou nemáte v úmyslu kupovat prostřednictvím e-mailu, nyní mají spammeři zjistili, jak se dostanou do cesty. Spam odeslaný jako pozvánky Apple Calendar však nelze detekovat jako tradiční nevyžádanou poštu, a blokování pozvánek kalendáře od všech, kromě známých uživatelů, by bylo nadměrně ovlivněno touto funkcí. Koneckonců, existuje nějaký počet legitimních pozvánek kalendáře, které můžete obdržet od neznámých uživatelů.
Takže je na vás, abyste problém opravili sami. Ale počkej! Pokud obdržíte spam ve službě Kalendář, neukládejte klepnutím na tlačítko Odmítnout nebo zkuste akci smazat. Tito spamátoři v podstatě loví skutečné e-mailové adresy. Odmítnutím pozvánky jim zašlete oznámení, které jim oznámí, že nalezli skutečného platného uživatele.
Existuje však řešení: způsob, jak událost smazat bez odmítnutí pozvání najednou. Stačí je nejprve přesunout do nového kalendáře
Smazání spamu kalendáře na iPhone
Chcete-li smazat kalendář spam ve vašem iPhonu nebo iPadu, nejprve otevřete aplikaci Kalendář a potom klepněte na položku Kalendáře v dolní části
Další , v pravém levém rohu klikněte na “Upravit”.
Přejděte dolů na ikonu iCloud a klepněte na “Přidat kalendář” a pojmenujte jej něco vhodného, například Spam nebo Úzkost. v pravém dolním rohu klepněte na položku “Doručená pošta”.
Klepněte na název události spamu a pak klepněte na “Kalendář”.
Vyberte svůj kalendář nevyžádané pošty a pak klepněte na “Hotovo”. Opakujte tento krok pro všechny ostatní požadavky na nevyžádanou poštu, které jste obdrželi
Opět se vraťte zpět na hlavní obrazovku Kalendáře, klepněte na “Kalendáře” v dolní části stránky
Klepněte opět na tlačítko Upravit
Vyberte svůj kalendář nevyžádané pošty, přejděte dolů dolů a klepněte na tlačítko “Odstranit kalendář”. Pokud jste vyzváni klepnutím na tlačítko “Smazat a neupozornovat”.
Smazání spamu na vašem počítači Mac
Smazání spamu v kalendáři Mac se provádí v podstatě stejným způsobem jako na iPhone. a klepněte na Soubor> Nový kalendář. (Možná budete muset vybrat účet, jako je iCloud.)
Nyní pojmenujte svůj nový kalendář něco, co je zaměřeno na spam, jako například “Spam”. Pokud nejsou vaše kalendáře iCloud viditelné, zaškrtněte políčko vedle každého z jejich jmen.
Nyní vyhledejte pozvánky na spam a dvakrát klikněte na ně. Klikněte na barevný čtverec v pravém horním rohu rozbalovacího okna události a přiřaďte jej do vašeho spamového kalendáře. Proveďte to pro všechny vaše nevyžádané pošty.
Konečně klikněte pravým tlačítkem myši na váš spamový kalendář a pak klikněte na “Smazat”. Pokud se zobrazí výzva, klikněte na tlačítko “Odstranit a neupoznat”.
Doufejme, že by to mělo udělat trik a váš kalendář bude nyní bez spamu. Bohužel to nezabrání tomu, aby se ve vašem Kalendáři zobrazoval nový spam, a pokud se objeví nový spam, budete muset tento postup opakovat znovu. Ale alespoň jej můžete smazat, aniž byste nechali spamerů vědět, že jste skutečný.
Alternativně se můžete rozhodnout ignorovat a po uplynutí času zmizí, ale pokud to ucpává, pak to jediný spolehlivý způsob, jak s ním v tuto chvíli
Pokud jste dost starý, že jste hráli hry v 80. a 90. letech, budete si pamatovat, tvrdé: opravdu zatraceně těžké. Proč byli tak zuřivě obtížní? Tato odpověď představuje fascinující pohled na historii videohier. Když lidé mluví o tom, jak těžké jsou staré videohry, používají výraz “Nintendo Hard.” Nintendo nebyla jediná společnost, která vyráběla brzy konzoly pro videohry (a rozhodně není první na trhu).
HomePod není jen hezký reproduktor. Můžete také s ní provádět několik úkolů, jako jsou nastavené poplachy a časovače. SOUVISEJÍCÍ: Jak nastavit Apple HomePod Než začnete, mějte na paměti, že alarmy a časovače na HomePodu nejsou téměř tak přizpůsobitelné, jako jsou Alexa a Asistent Google . Je to docela barebones ve srovnání s jinými inteligentními reproduktory, ale bude to dobrá práce, pokud vše, co chcete, je základní funkce.
You can’t stop the spam but you can keep it out of your Calendar.

There is another way, involving creating a new calendar, moving the invitation to it, then deleting the calendar: Handling Calendar Invitation Spam .

Thank you. I look at it as the old one-two punch. Use your method if you discover spam in your calendar. Then use this method to prevent more. Since it will be in your mailbox you can report it to Apple as phishing.
At a future date can you tell me how you got your User Tip to on the new reward system to post in the Using ASC Forum ?
Spammers have infiltrated your iCloud calendar. But don’t worry. you’re not alone.
You may have noticed a handful of suspicious push notifications on your iPhone over the weekend — calendar invites for deals and sales from users with obviously real names like “kcmgweqeq” and “nfbtz.”
These invites are exactly what they look like: spam! Your iCloud calendar app is set up to automatically notify you (via in-app notification) of calendar invites, and, unfortunately, the spammers have figured this out.
At the moment, there’s no real solution — you can’t mark the invites as spam, nor can you prevent invites from people who are not in your contacts list. You can decline the invites, but any response — even a negative one — sends an email back to the spammer and lets them know that your account is active, which means you’ll probably end up on a “Definitely Do Send” list somewhere.
There are a couple of workarounds, but they’re not perfect. Here are your options.
Prevent push notifications
Your iCloud calendar’s default setting is to send event invitations — aka the spam you’re receiving — to your iPhone as an in-app notification. You can change this setting so that the invitations will be emailed to you instead — and, hopefully, your email account will be able to filter some of it out. The downside to this method is that you won’t receive push notifications for any calendar invites — even the ones from your friends and family.
To change this setting, go to icloud.com on a laptop or a desktop browser (it won’t work on a mobile browser) and log in with your iCloud credentials.
Go to Calendar, click the settings (gear) icon in the lower-left corner of the screen, and choose Preferences.
In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab. Next to Invitations, click the radio button next to Email to [your email address]. You will no longer receive push notifications about new iCloud calendar invitations, but you will receive invitations in your inbox.
You can also turn off push notifications for the calendar app on your iPhone. If you use this method, you will not receive invites in your inbox, either.
Open the Settings app and go to Notifications > Calendar. Turn off the toggle next to Allow Notifications if you want to turn off all notifications, or tap Invitations to toggle off alerts and notifications just for incoming calendar invites. (You will still be able to see any invites by opening the calendar app and tapping Inbox in the lower-left corner.)
Make a secret spam calendar and then delete it
If you decline the spam invitations, your response lets the spammer know that you’re alive and checking this account — which means you’ll almost certainly get more spam in the near future. There is a way to delete the invitations without notifying the spammer, but it’s a hassle. Here’s what you need to do:
Open the Calendar app on your iPhone and tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen to see a list of your iCloud calendars.
Tap Edit in the upper-left corner of the screen and then tap Add Calendar. Name the calendar, choose a color if you like, and tap Done.
Go back to the main screen of the calendar app and tap Inbox in the lower-right corner to see the invitations you’ve received. Tap on a spam invite to open it and tap Calendar to switch the calendar. Move the invite over to the calendar you just created. Do this with all of the other spam invites you’ve received — just remember, don’t respond to the invite (by tapping Accept, Maybe, or Decline) or you will alert the spammer to your active account.
Once all of the spam invites have been moved to the spam calendar, go back to the calendar editing menu and delete the spam calendar. If you see a pop-up, make sure you press Delete and Don’t Notify so the calendar will be deleted without notifying the spammers.
Stop syncing
If you don’t use iCloud’s calendar — maybe you use a different electronic calendar, or, like me, a high-tech paper planner — you can simply turn the calendar off.
To do this, open the Settings app on your iPhone and go to iCloud. Toggle off the button next to Calendars. The app will ask you what you want to do with the calendars that are currently synced to your phone; you can keep them on your phone or delete them.
Your calendar will no longer sync with iCloud and you will no longer receive event invitations. You’ll still be able to use the calendar app to schedule your own events (from your phone), but you won’t be able to use shared calendars.
