How to block Google Calendar spam with a new feature that stops it

Google introduced a new feature on Wednesday that will help people continue to keep their Google Calendars cost-free from spam.

Calendar spam happens when random invites and appointments seem on Google Calendar, even if the receiver by no means opened or recognized them. The difficulty has prompted problems from customers who have been flooded with spam.

The new Google Calendar attribute, rolling out now, will only show occasions on your calendar if the invite comes from a sender you know, like men and women in your call checklist, men and women you have interacted with ahead of or colleagues. You can also opt for to have all invitations surface on your alendar or just the invitations you’ve got accepted. The default choice is to demonstrate invites from absolutely everyone.

The new function is rolling out to all end users with personal Google accounts, Google Workspace clients and legacy G Suite Primary and Small business consumers above the subsequent 15 days, so you could not see it just yet.

This is how to empower the new possibility once it seems:

• Open Google Calendar in your world wide web browser.
• Faucet the configurations icon on the top-correct of your site.
• Choose ‘Event Settings’ on the remaining aspect menu bar.
• In the drop-down menu for ‘Add invitations to my calendar’ opt for “Only if the sender is acknowledged.”

You may however get e-mail invitations from not known senders, but the activities will only appear on their calendars if they are approved.
