How to turn off notifications for shared calendars iOS

Feb 26, 2020

I don't know if it's a sign my wife and I are growing older and busier, but last week we finally decided to share some iOS calendars to be able to plan the future months even while being distant for some more weeks.
Setting them up was easy and straightforward, but what we couldn't figure out how to, was muting notifications of events coming up on specific shared calendars say, for example, my work meetings on my wife's phone.
I looked carefully under the Notification panel in Settings, but I couldn't find what we needed. After a not-so-immediate web search, I found this on Pocket-lint:

How to turn off notifications for the shared calendar Open the Calendar app > Tap on Calendars at the bottom of the screen > Scroll down to the 'Family' calendar under the iCloud section or whatever you've renamed it > Tap on the 'I' > Toggle off 'Event Alerts' in the Notifications section if you don't want to be alerted when an event is coming up.

I'm posting it here for future reference in case someone else needs it.
