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.I suggest we first check whether the reminder information exists in the folder.ġ.Download MFCMAPI using the following link: Your calendar will no longer sync with iCloud and you will no longer receive event invitations. 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. To do this, open the Settings app on your iPhone and go to iCloud. 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. 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. 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. 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. Move the invite over to the calendar you just created. Tap on a spam invite to open it and tap Calendar to switch the calendar. 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. Name the calendar, choose a color if you like, and tap Done. Tap Edit in the upper-left corner of the screen and then tap Add Calendar. Open the Calendar app on your iPhone and tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen to see a list of your iCloud calendars.
There is a way to delete the invitations without notifying the spammer, but it's a hassle. 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. (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 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. Open the Settings app and go to Notifications > Calendar. If you use this method, you will not receive invites in your inbox, either. You can also turn off push notifications for the calendar app on your iPhone. You will no longer receive push notifications about new iCloud calendar invitations, but you will receive invitations in your inbox.
Next to Invitations, click the radio button next to Email to. In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab. 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. 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. 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. There are a couple of workarounds, but they're not perfect. 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. 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.Īt 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 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."
