Why am I getting macOS calendar app inbox alerts about events on my wife’s shared calendar that I’m not an invitee on?


My wife and I each share a couple of our calendars with each other all contained in the iOS/iCloud ecosystem. Recently, I started getting calendar event change alerts in the inbox of my macOS calendar app for events she creates or edits that don’t involve me in any way, i.e. I’m not an invitee on the calendar event, e.g. she has a horseback riding lesson event that she schedules occasionally.

  1. Why am I getting inbox alerts for these events?
  2. Why is it when I click "ok", it does not show up in the replied events alongside other event alerts?
  3. How the heck do I stop these superfluous/meaningless alerts from happening in the first place?

I could switch the calendar to a subscribed calendar to stop receiving these alerts, but I do occasionally make updates to her calendar if she asks, so that’s not ideal.

What I have tried:

  • I have "Ignore alerts" checked on that calendar.
  • I have "Show shared calendar messages in notification center" unchecked.

Here’s a redacted example of one of these alerts:

This seems like a bug. Has anyone run into this before and solved it?
