Calendar entry that I did not make

Hi I’m a little puzzled, I called my doctors surgery this afternoon to rearrange an appointment, it was agreed at a certain day and time as soon as I got off the phone I went to my calendar to create event but to my complete surprise it was already there in the time slot that was agreed, now how can this be ? I know that Siri can gather information from text messages for appointments but I hadn’t received anything even now 4 hours later I’ve not received anything from my surgery, can someone please shred some light on how this is even possible, has my phone become so clever that it can do this sort of thing without us knowing,, is my phone listening to my phone calls and taking action by itself.

Invitations don't require access to your calendar. They are emails that "invite" you to a calendar event. If you accept, they are added to your calendar. Your surgery could only make changes in the event, which would get sent to your calendar. They would be unable to do anything else, though.


If that's not the reason, I'd have to default back to human error. Perhaps you did what I do more often than I care to admit: do something and then forget I did it.

Idris I appreciate you taking the time to answer my query but I’m still non the wiser, I’ve not received any emails or texts from my doctor inviting me to anything it was literally just a telephone conversation and as soon as I hung up I opened the calendar and it was already in there, my wife was sat next to me at the time and she can’t explain it either, it’s as though my phone was listening and automatically created the calendar event and it is this that I can’t get my head around, and yes I’m of an age where I do forget I’ve done something but not on this occasion and that I can guarantee my friend.
