A big number of the reported issues mentioned the iOS Calendar app.

Method 2: Removing Microsoft Exchange Accounts and Turning on iCloud Account

Many iPhone users sync their Microsoft Exchange accounts with their iPhone calendar, which might cause all types of issues if there’s an issue with Microsoft’s server.

Try turning off and removing your Microsoft account, and instead switch it with your iCloud account, since iCloud is Apple’s native cloud.

To remove Microsoft Exchange from your calendar, follow these steps:

  1. Launch the ‘Settings’ app on your phone, and scroll down until you see the ‘Calendar’ app.
  2. Next, go to ‘Accounts’, click on ‘Microsoft Exchange’, and on the following screen, click on ‘Delete’.
  3. Open ‘Settings’, and click on your name or profile.
  4. Next, tap on iCloud, and toggle the button next to ‘Calendar’.

Method 3: Updating or reinstalling the Calendar app

In case the Calendar issues don’t seem to be resolved with the methods above, you should try updating or reinstalling the Calendar app altogether.

According to users that have issues on iOS 15.1 after updating, they reported the Calendar app being back to normal and working properly after uninstalling and reinstalling, or updating, so the app is working normally again.

To check for updates, open the App Store, and search for ‘Calendar’.

To uninstall the app, press and hold on any empty space on your home screen, wait until the apps start jiggling, and click on the ‘-’ icon in the upper-right corner of the ‘Calendar’ app.

Method 4: Restarting your iPhone

Since there are so many possible causes to why you’re having issues with apps on iOS 15.1, especially with the slow Calendar app, you should try to restart your iPhone, and relaunch the Calendar app to see if the issue is resolved.

Restarting any device helps to boost all apps again, and it helps get rid of any temporary bugs and glitches.
