Google Calendar creates random events based on emails received

Google Calendar has been displaying events that were generated at random and were triggered by messages in the user’s Gmail inbox.

The majority of the events appear to be all-day events triggered by a glitch in the Gmail mobile app on select Android and iOS devices.

Users can avoid the bug by going to Settings > Events > Disable ‘Automatically add events from Gmail to my calendar’.

A problem in the Gmail mobile app on select Android and iOS devices has been reported to be the source of the bug. The wrongly constructed events appear to be all-day activities that do not lead to any genuine event.

Several Twitter users shared screenshots of their Google Calendar apps, which were loaded with strange activities.
