Apple has unveiled a new app called Apple Invites, designed for creating personalized event invitations on iPhones. This app, reminiscent of popular party planning apps, offers seamless integration with the iOS ecosystem, posing a potential threat to existing third-party competitors.
Reports suggest that Apple has long been developing an invite system for iOS, known internally as “Confetti.” The recent launch of Apple Invites confirms speculations about Apple’s foray into the event planning space. The app offers customizable features such as creating event backgrounds using Apple Intelligence, naming events, and setting dates, times, and locations.
What sets Apple Invites apart are its Apple-centric functionalities. Users can establish shared photo albums and playlists for events, streamlining post-event coordination. The app also allows for flexible invitation sending options, including public links or specific guest lists, with RSVP controls. However, access to these features requires a subscription to iCloud+.
Notably, RSVP responses do not necessitate an iCloud+ subscription, enabling wider guest participation. Despite some reservations about AI-generated backgrounds, the app’s overall appeal lies in its integrated shared albums and playlists, catering to party planners seeking convenience and efficiency.
Apple Invites is now available for download on the App Store or through icloud.com/invites. While its features are promising, its ability to surpass established platforms like Partiful remains to be seen, awaiting user adoption and feedback.
