Hi there @Joefilmmaker, welcome to Community :smiley:

You might want to consider updating to the latest Brave version.

Best,

@Joefilmmaker,
Are you still encountering this issue after updating to the latest build?

I’m not the OP, but I can confirm this is still broken for me on Brave for iOS, v1.35.1

The behavior is as described - the .ics is downloaded instead of opened, and when you go to downloaded files and directly open it, it shows the meeting details but there is no way to import it to your calendar.

This issue still exists. Running Brave on iOS v1.39. iOS version is 15.5.

It should prompt to open it in the calendar app. Downloading the file seems like the wrong behavior as the only purpose of the file is to load it into your calendar. I cannot think of a reason a user would want to download calendar invites instead of immediately importing them.
