With the help of “Apple invitations”, the organizers can “view and manage their events, leaf through the answers and choose the details that they want to include in the announcement” – this can be a home address or a background image. Guests using the application can post photos and videos from the event. When creating an invitation, the organizer uses photos from his gallery or chooses from the backgrounds available in the application; On supporting Apple Intelligence devices in the application, there is a Image Playground function that allows you to create images using AI. There is integration with Apple Maps and the weather application. Apple Music subscribers can add a joint playlist available to guests in Apple invitations.
Only iCloud Plus users can create invitations, subscriptions with a price of $ 0.99 per month; The application only works on the iPhone under the control of iOS 18 and above. “Apple invitations” in their capabilities resemble the Partiful service, which began work in 2020 and to date has become quite popular. Both applications offer a simple and understandable interface for a detailed viewing of information about the event and response to invitations. Partiful is free and is largely focused on the young generation.
