iPhone Users when upgraded to iOS 10 are facing a issue with iCal that birthday entries have duplicated multiple times, calendar app has duplicated the birthdays calendar hundreds of times - both on the Facebook calendar group and my default home calendar group. It has also duplicated my default calendar hundreds of times. it's not only the Facebook calendars. It's also duplicating the Birthday calendars under the calendar group named 'Other'. This suggests it's an Apple problem too. Some users have around 180 instances of "Birthday" calendars under a group called "Other". checked my iMac and these birthday calendar instances (duplicates) do not appear there. It is only on my iPhone.
