Apple Launches Apple Invites App for Seamless Event Planning

Apple has launched Apple Invites, a new app for iPhone that makes creating and sharing custom invitations easier than ever. Available now for download on the App Store or via the web at icloud.com/ae/invites, the app allows users to design invitations for any event and share them with friends and family. iCloud+ subscribers can create invitations, while anyone, regardless of their device or Apple account, can RSVP.

Brent Chiu-Watson, Apple’s senior director of Worldwide Product Marketing for Apps and iCloud, explained, “With Apple Invites, an event comes to life from the moment the invitation is created, and users can share lasting memories even after they get together.” The app integrates with iPhone, iCloud, and Apple Music, offering an easy way to plan and celebrate special events.

Apple Invites allows users to choose an image from their photo library or a curated selection of event-themed backgrounds. With built-in Maps and Weather integrations, the app provides guests with directions and event-day weather forecasts. Users can also invite participants to contribute photos and videos to a Shared Album, preserving memories, and Apple Music subscribers can create and share collaborative playlists directly through the app.

The app’s use of Apple Intelligence makes creating unique invitations simple. Users can tap into the Image Playground experience to generate creative images and use Writing Tools to find the perfect wording for their event invites. Hosts have full control of their events, with the ability to manage details, view RSVPs, and share invitations via a link. Guests can respond through the app or the web, even if they don’t have an Apple device or account. Participants can also choose how their details are shared and have the option to leave or report events at any time.

iCloud+ subscribers enjoy additional benefits, including expanded storage for photos, videos, and files, keeping them safe and accessible across all devices. Premium features like Private Relay ensure browsing privacy in Safari, while Hide My Email offers unique, random email addresses for extra security. Subscribers also get HomeKit Secure Video for encrypted home security footage, the ability to create custom email domains, and the option to share their subscription with up to five family members.
