Great, can it also automatically filter out AI slop and block the sender, just like I do to regular old spam that's also impersonal, robotic and soulless? Because that would be great.

"A new eye-opening report (that we are not going to link, or even give you a title of, because trust us bro) has revealed something surprising about our social media platforms
How many military orphanages, military preschools and military press tents are they planning to strike this time? Are military supermarkets, military food banks and military temples also on the target list, or not this time?
This one is surely the last straw, right? This is when Israel starts facing consequences for their war crimes, right? Right?!
Oh, wrong? Put it on the pile of war crimes over there then, right next to the pile of money from Uncle Sam they got to perpetrate even more crimes...
Is there really no other word apart from SLAM that those "journalists" (or perhaps AI bots) are taught to use? Just one other goddamned word? I'm so tired of everyone and their mother slamming everyone else all the time...
And I bet at least one of them had a Hamas command center hidden in his back pocket too!
Thanks, here's hoping! I love it as a phone, but I suspect it might be another app showing the icon - there should be no way for a disabled app to do so...
Anyway, I'll keep casually digging, maybe start disabling apps one by one to see which one is the culprit or something :)
Factory reset is out of the question - I spent way too much time installing and setting everything up after changing phones to nuke it all (because Google sucks and doesn't allow backing all the settings and such without root, but that's a rant for another day).
I did reboot the phone, yes, multiple times - after turning calendar notifications off, disabling the app and so on. No dice, the icon keeps coming back. Oh well, guess I'll have to get used to it - it's a distracting eyesore, but the phone is working fine. Maybe it fixes itself after the update to Android 15...
Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions and willingness to help - appreciate it!
That didn't work unfortunately - my Google calendar is actually completely empty, no tasks, notifications or anything. Cleared app data, even tried force stopping and disabling the app completely (can't fully uninstall it, since it's system), but the darn icon is still there. Maybe I just need to learn to live with it, even though it annoys me...
That's a great find, thanks! The problem is, I don't actually have any tasks scheduled right now, and the icon never disappears. Disabling calendar notifications completely doesn't hide it either, I even tried disabling the calendar app completely, and still nothing...
This clickbait title will make you (or at least me) not want to click the link because it sounds like a shitty ad!💥🔥🍄
Good try, but I much prefer this Luce mascot: https://www.tenutaluce.com/en/
