[Update] Removing local calendar spam events on Android

Question

Hi all,
 
We understand that there has been an increase in spam events for Calendar users on Android devices. There are 2 types of spam events you may experience and can address:
 
Local calendar spam
To remove local calendar spam events:
On the top left, tap Menu (three-line icon). 
In your list of calendars, uncheck calendars you did not create. You may need to tap &ldquo;Show more&rdquo; to view all your calendars.
Some apps may insert spam events onto your calendar. To check which apps have permission to access your calendar data:
Follow the instructions to Change app permissions on your Android phone.
On a Pixel phone:
Open Settings.
Tap Privacy > Permission Manager > Calendar.  
Please note that changing which apps have permission to access your calendar data will not delete existing spam events.

Spam event invitations
This feature is currently rolling out across Android, Web, and iPhone/iPad and will become more widely available over the next 2 weeks. To help keep your Google Calendar free from spam, you can now select an option to display events on your calendar only if they come from a sender you know. To turn this on:
Open the Google Calendar app. 
At the top left, tap Menu (three-line icon) > Settings.
Tap General > Adding invitations > Add invitations to my calendar.
Tap Only if the sender is known.
You can learn more about the &ldquo;Only if the sender is known&rdquo; feature via the Google Workspace Calendar blog post and &ldquo;Respond to event invitations&rdquo; Calendar Help Center article. ​​​​​​​
 
For any questions, please reach out to the Calendar Community.
 
Thank you!
