Apple Launches "Invites," a New Event Planning App for iCloud Users
Apple’s new event app, Invites, lets iCloud users create and share RSVPs with AI images, Apple Music playlists, and Maps integration.
Apple has launched Apple Invites, a new event planning app exclusively for iCloud subscribers. Available on iOS 18 and the web, the app allows users to create and share invitations while integrating features like AI-generated images, Apple Music collaborative playlists, and Maps and Weather previews.
Guests don’t need an iCloud subscription or an Apple device to RSVP, making the service accessible to all. Hosts can manage RSVPs, customize event details, and even contribute to a Shared Album with attendees’ photos and videos. However, only iCloud Plus subscribers (starting at $0.99/month) can create invites, differentiating it from free competitors like Partiful.
