My apple calendar is hacked. How can I remove the Constant Heads up displaying annoying ads ads. Thanks

I’m at a loss. All day Im getting this annoying pop up bar on my iPad. Regarding my Calendar stating that my calendar has been hacked. Every 15 minutes this annoying bar drops down from the home page or anywhere that when I’m using the iPad. Please walk me Thru on how to remove or block this invasive invite thanks

The problem that you describe is very easy to resolve.


It is highly probable that an inadvertent click on a website link has “subscribed” an additional (unwanted) Calendar to your device - and this unexpected Calendar is exposing unwanted calendar events and sending you unexpected “adverts” or other warnings. 


You need to check for what’s out of place...

iOS/iPadOS13 and earlier: Settings > Passwords and Accounts

iOS/iPadOS14: Settings > Calendar > Accounts


Look for an “account” that shouldn’t be in the list of accounts - as this will likely include the Calendar that contains all the unwanted events. When you find the suspect account, tap - then select Delete Account. This should resolve the problem in its entirety.


I hope you find this helpful in finding the source - and in resolving the issue if an unexpected Calendar is found.
