How to disable Siri suggested calendar events on iOS and Mac

Learn how to turn off Siri-suggested events in Apple Mail and Calendar apps on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to remove unwanted entries from your schedule.

When you receive an email with a date and time in the message body, Apple Mail displays a “Siri Found an Event” banner. Tapping it lets you add an event, such as a dinner reservation or flight details, to the Calendar app.

These events also appear in the Calendar app’s Siri Suggestions list (more on it below). Event suggestions are turned on by default in all versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS, but you can toggle them off if you don’t find them helpful.
