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.'
