How can I stop spam calendar notifications on my mom's Apple Watch?
Asked by

My mom has been receiving annoying notifications from a spam calendar that keeps appearing on her Apple Watch, but it's not showing up in her email. I checked her email and the sender is already blocked, but since it only affects her watch, it seems tied to her calendar. I'm looking for tips on how to specifically block or remove these spam notifications that keep showing up in her calendar. It's a pretty wild situation, and I'm really hoping someone has a good solution!

Just deleting the spam appointment from her calendar can work too! That might clear up the notifications.

This wasn't a virus, it's probably just a calendar subscription that some spammer added. It's annoying but not a big deal! There's no need to panic.

Honestly, the simplest way to avoid future spam is to create a new email address. It might be a hassle, but it could save a lot of aggravation in the long run.

It sounds like your mom is dealing with calendar spam, which is a common issue. To fix this, go into her Apple Watch settings and then navigate to the Calendar settings. From there, check under Accounts and look for any that she hasn't added herself. You can also delete any suspicious calendars directly from the Calendar app: open it, tap on Calendars at the bottom, find any weirdly named calendars (they're usually in gray), tap the 'i' next to them, and choose Delete Calendar. That should do the trick!
