Features
Apple Invites allows users to design personalised invitations by selecting images from their photo library or choosing from a curated collection of backgrounds tailored to different occasions. The app includes built-in integrations with Apple Maps and Weather, ensuring guests have access to directions and weather forecasts for the event day.
A notable feature is its connection to Shared Albums, allowing attendees to contribute photos and videos to a central album linked to the invitation. Additionally, Apple Music subscribers can create collaborative playlists, which guests can access via the app.
AI-powered customisation
The app leverages Apple Intelligence to enhance the invitation experience. Users can utilise Image Playground to generate unique images based on concepts, descriptions, or even people from their photo library. Writing Tools are also included to assist in composing invitations with tailored wording.
User control and accessibility
Hosts using Apple Invites can manage their events efficiently by reviewing RSVPs, customising event details, and sharing invitations via a link. Guests do not require an Apple Account or an iCloud+ subscription to RSVP, making the service accessible beyond the Apple ecosystem. Additionally, attendees have the option to manage their privacy settings, leave events, or report invitations if necessary.
Premium features for iCloud+ subscribers
While the core functionality of Apple Invites is free, Apple has linked several premium features to its iCloud+ subscription service. iCloud+ subscribers can create event invitations, while also benefitting from expanded cloud storage, Private Relay for secure browsing, Hide My Email for added privacy, and HomeKit Secure Video for encrypted home security footage. Additional features include custom email domains and the ability to share iCloud+ with family members.
Availability
Apple Invites is now available as a free download on iPhone models running iOS 18 or later and can be accessed online. However, certain features may not be available in all regions or languages. Apple has directed users to its official website for further details on regional availability and iCloud+ subscription plans.
