Apple Invites App for iPhone Updated — Here's What's New

With the latest version of the Apple Invites app for the iPhone, released today, hosts can now allow guests to specify the number of adults and kids they are bringing to an event. This way, the host will not be surprised if you bring a plus-one.

The update also contains bug fixes and performance improvements.

Released earlier this year, the Apple Invites app makes it easy to invite people to events, such as birthday parties and baby showers. First, you create an event invitation, which can include a description, a custom background, and even a shared photo album. Then, you can generate a link to the event that you can share with invited guests.

The ability to create an event in the app is limited to iCloud+ subscribers, but anyone who receives an event link can RSVP for free. In the U.S., the cheapest iCloud+ plan with 50GB of storage currently costs 99 cents per month.

Apple Invites is available on the iPhone, and on the web at iCloud.com/invites. Guests can RSVP in the iPhone app, or on the web from any device.

Is anyone using this yet? I just haven't seen a reason. I'm wondering if this will fade like Ping (or whatever that was called).

Nothing more exciting than an update for a proprietary app that no one uses.

I can confirm that Apple uses this app for invites to its events as I have used it with the. Not one person in my life has though ever asked me about it.

I feel this will go the way of many of their apps like Clips. These features should like just be integrated into Calendar.

I’ve tried a few times, and while it works well to create the invitation and to send them to people with iPhone, my non-Apple family members couldn’t view the invitation even though it should work. Made it pointless lol now it’s fun to plan date nights

I tried it one time. People (I think non-apple people?) had to create an account to RSVP, so none of them did. People either didn't respond and just came (or didn't) or they just texted me if they were coming. No one wants to make an account for this.
Good lord. Invitees have to create an account to RSVP? Is this team clueless?

I am baffled by this app. I'm not saying there's no market for it (is there?) but is this really something should a technology behemoth, one of the richest and most influential companies in the world, be doing? What's next, a water drinking reminder?
