Calendar syncing emails

Question

Calendar syncing emails

Suddenly I have all kinds of emails syncing to my calendar as “events” such as coupons, last-minute deals, even newsletters. This is happening on both my phone (which is not Apple) and my iPad which is obviously an Apple product. I don’t know what weird setting I’ve turned on in my email, but I don’t want to toggle off all even syncing and lose the ability to automatically have my emails for appointments sync into my calendar. How do I choose certain emails to be synced instead of all of them so I can stop these notifications? I use gmail if that is helpful. Thank you!

iPad, iPadOS 15

it is highly likely that you have been manipulated (via a simple click on a website link) into “subscribing” an additional (unwanted) Calendar to your device - and this unexpected Calendar is exposing unwanted calendar events and sending you unexpected “adverts” or other warnings.

If you see this issue, you’ll need to check for what’s out of place...

iOS/iPadOS13 and earlier: Settings > Passwords and Accounts

iOS/iPadOS14 and later: 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/if you find the suspect account, tap - then select Delete Account. This should resolve this specific problem in its entirety.

Hi Bellashmobella,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to stop certain emails from creating automatic events in Calendar. Depending on your iOS version, you can turn off the entire feature by going to Settings > Calendar and turning off "Events Found in Mail". There isn't an option to choose specific mail, but you can leave feedback for Apple here: Product Feedback - Apple

Take care.
