Apple Unveils New Invites App for Sending Event Invitations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of you have an Apple iPhone in your hand or a Mac on your desk. And chances you\u2019ve got a birthday or a special event coming. If you\u2019re thinking of sending out an event invite, you might as well try Apple\u2019s new Invites app, which launched today. The app almost replaces ad-filled third-party options like Evite and Partiful, at least for Apple users, to corral folks together in the well-coifed, walled garden way.<\/p>\n

The Rumors Were True<\/strong><\/p>\n

We knew Apple Invites was coming this week. The rumors about what\u2019s next from Apple are usually on the money if it\u2019s loud enough that it\u2019s circulating the blogs and on Bloomberg, too. Apple describes the Invites app as a tool for creating \u201cunique invitations\u201d and bringing \u201cpeople together for life\u2019s most exciting moments.\u201d Yes, that means celebrating that you finally figured out how to unclog a drain without an expensive phone call to a plumber. That\u2019s something worth celebrating! Most people would melt into a puddle and cry in front of the kitchen sink. But you? You conquered the fear of domesticity alone. You deserve to throw yourself a party.<\/p>\n

How the App Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re done setting up the invitation, you can invite people from other platforms to RSVP using a shareable link or from your contacts. I sent the link to some friends and colleagues to see how the RSVP mechanism works. The only person who had trouble with Apple Invites was on a developer account, which required them to log in to see it. Everyone else was able to pop in and leave their reply.<\/p>\n

Integration with Apple Intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The other essential part of Apple Invites is its integration with Apple Intelligence. Any RSVP updates you receive will be bundled into the periodic daily summary on the lock screen. Apple also hopes you\u2019ll use Image Playground to generate images of yourself as the header imagery for these invitations. As you can imagine, I used it to create a picture of myself with a hard hat on and confetti in the background. Because when you\u2019re celebrating the little wins in life, like unclogging a drain, being silly about it with the image generation tool is at least one way to call out the absurdity of what we call life.<\/p>\n

Getting Started with Apple Invites<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want to use the Apple Invites app, grab it from the App Store or try it on the web at iCloud. Apple notes you must have an iCloud+ subscription to host an event, though anyone can attend.<\/p>\n\n
