Send invitations in Calendar on iPhone

In the Calendar app, you can send meeting and event invitations. iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and some CalDAV servers also let you send meeting invitations. (Not all calendar servers support every feature.)

Before you begin

Before you can invite people to events you’ve scheduled, you need to make sure your calendar accounts are turned on.

  1. Go to the Settings app  on your iPhone.

  2. Tap Apps, then tap Calendar.

  3. Tap Calendar Accounts, select an account, then check to see if Calendar is turned on.

    For more information about how to add calendars, see Set up multiple calendars.

Invite others to an event

You can invite people to an event you’ve scheduled.

  1. Go to the Calendar app on your iPhone.

  2. Tap the event, then tap Edit near the top of the screen.

  3. Tap Invitees.

  4. Do any of the following:

    • Add a name from your contacts: Enter a contact’s name, tap the name, then tap the Done button.

      You can also tap the Add button to select contacts.

      Note: The contact must have an email address or phone number (supported in China and India). See Add and use contact information.

    • Add an email address: Enter an email address, tap Return, then tap the Done button.

    • Add a phone number: Enter a phone number, tap Return, then tap the Done button.

      Note: Sending a calendar invitation to a phone number is supported only in China and India.

  5. To make an invitation optional, tap Invitees, swipe left on an invitee, then tap Make Optional.

  6. When you’re finished, tap the Done button.

If you don’t want to be notified when someone declines a meeting, go to Settings  > Apps > Calendar, then turn off Show Invitee Declines.

Note: With Microsoft Exchange and some other exchange servers, you can invite people to an event even if you’re not the one who scheduled it.

Quickly email attendees

You can email all attendees of an event—for example, to share event details.

  1. Go to the Calendar app on your iPhone.

  2. Tap an event that has attendees.

  3. Tap Invitees, then tap the Send Mail to Invitees button.
