Apple is boosting its subscription services with a new event invitation app and changes to its AppleCare+ for iPhones. The new "Apple Invites" app helps users organize events like birthday parties. It leverages Apple Intelligence to personalize invitations, create music playlists, and generate shared photo albums. While the app is free to download, it requires an iCloud+ subscription (starting at Rs 75/month).
“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,” said Brent Chiu-Watson, Apple’s senior director of Worldwide Product Marketing for Apps and iCloud. “Apple Invites brings together capabilities our users already know and love across iPhone, iCloud, and Apple Music, making it easy to plan special events.”
Apple Invites app availability
Starting today (February 4), users can download Apple Invites from the App Store, or access it on the web through icloud.com/invites. iCloud+ subscribers can create invitations, and anyone can RSVP, regardless of whether they have an Apple Account or Apple device.
How to use Apple Invites app
To get started with Apple Invites, users can choose an image from their photo library or from the app’s gallery of backgrounds — a curated collection of images representing different occasions and event themes. Integrations with Maps and Weather give guests directions to the event and the forecast for that day.
