iOS 26 Bug Breaks Calendar Search for Some iPhone Users

Apple says a fix is coming in a future iOS update.

Overview

  • Users report the Calendar app returns no results for existing events, with failures varying by keyword and device.
  • Reports span models from iPhone 13 mini to iPhone 17 Pro, though some users say their devices are unaffected.
  • Search still works via Spotlight or Siri and on macOS 26 and iPadOS 26, indicating the fault is confined to iOS 26's Calendar app.
  • Apple Support has acknowledged the problem and says a software update will address it, with no confirmation yet on whether it arrives in iOS 26.0.1 or a later 26.1 build.
  • A community workaround—toggling Calendar search settings off, rebooting, then re-enabling and waiting for the index to rebuild—has helped some users temporarily, and the initial iOS 26.1 beta has not clearly resolved the bug.
