How To Delete Calendar Spam on iPad, Mac, Apple - A new spam scamge has come down on unsuspecting Apple Calendar users, and the boy is annoying. Today we will explain how to delete it safely, so hopefully you won't be disturbed again.

Not satisfied with trying to sell any product or service that you have no intention of buying via email, now spammers already know how to get into your travel plans. But spam sent because of Apple Calendar invitations cannot be detected like traditional email spam, and blocks calendar invitations from everyone but known users will overdo and damage this feature. After all, there are a number of valid calendar invitations that you can receive from unknown users.

So, it falls on you to fix the problem yourself. But wait! If you get Calendar spam, don't click "Reject", or try deleting the event. These spammers basically provoke the actual email address. By declining the invitation, you send them a notification letting them know that they have found a real and valid user.

But there is a solution: a way to delete an event without rejecting the invitation at the same time. You only need to move it to the new calendar first. Also Read : How to Restart iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

Delete Spam Calendar on your Mac

Deleting spam on your Mac Calendar is done the same way as on the iPhone.

First open your Calendar application and click File> New Calendar. (You may need to choose an account, such as iCloud.)

Next, name your new calendar something spam-centered, like "Spam". If your iCloud calendar isn't visible, check the box next to each of their names.

Now, find your spam invitation and double click on one. Click the colored box in the upper right corner of the event popup to assign it to your spam calendar. Do this for all your spam invitations.

Finally, right-click on your spam calendar and then click "Delete". If prompted, click "Delete and Don't Tell".

Hopefully, it should do the trick and your calendar will now be spam free. Unfortunately, this will not prevent new spam from appearing on your Calendar, and you will have to do this procedure again if new spam appears. But at least you can delete it without letting the spammer know that you are real.

Alternatively, you can choose to ignore it and it will disappear over time, but if it clogs up the works, then this is the only reliable way to do it now.
