Apple has launched a new app called Apple Invites, designed to simplify event planning and invitation management. The app lets users create digital invitations, share event details, and track responses. Even Android users can access invitations through the web version of iCloud, allowing the app to extend beyond the Apple ecosystem.
The main features of Apple's invitation:
1) Custom Definition:
Add a photo background from your library, use Apple templates, or generate custom photos using an Apple photo playground AI feature available on supported devices.
2) Flexible Sharing:
Invitations can be shared outside the application by selecting, manually entering a phone number or e email or copying a link.
3) Widgets and media:
Events can be equipped with weather forecast widgets, Apple Maps integration for orientation, shared albums and Apple Music's Music Playlists.
Seamless (mostly) user experience
iPhone users can enjoy a seamless experience, while Android users will need to enter their email and verification code to access their invitation. Albums require an Apple account, playlists require an Apple Music subscription, and non-subscribers can only hear previews.
Errors and limitations
Some users report occasional issues such as failed loading for invitations and trouble filling albums. However, the core functionality of the application is still strong for most users. For those looking for a simple and elegant organizational activity, Apple's embedies are a promising tool, especially if they are already part of the Apple ecosystem.
