This Google Calendar bug has caused many users confusion and stress. They have had to delete the fake events that were never scheduled constantly. Some users have even reported that the counterfeit events have caused them to miss necessary appointments or meetings, as they were unaware of the actual schedule due to the overwhelming number of fake events.
What is causing this Google Calendar bug?
According to Techies, fake events are from Gmail apps granting access to users’ calendars. When these apps are used to create events, they sometimes make them themselves. It is unclear why this is happening, but it could be due to a glitch.
