Apple Music just got cheaper ahead of Spotify’s rumored price hikes
Apple Invites is like creating a poster
You can add your own image for the event or generate one with Image Playground
When you first open the Apple Invites app, you’ll be given the option to create an event. From there, you’re able to make a title for the event, select the date, time, and location, add a description, and attach an image. You can share the event via iMessage, text message, email, and with other third-party apps such as WhatsApp. The whole experience reminds me of creating a poster.
You can also add an Apple Music playlist to the event, allowing users to view the music being played right from the Apple Invites page. It’s unclear if Apple will add further support for other music streaming services, like Spotify, in the future. The Shared Album feature lets the host and attendees contribute photos and videos from the event, which are easily accessible to everyone afterward.
Apple Invites gives hosts complete control of their events, allowing them to view guest lists, manage RSVPs, and set privacy settings. Users with a device that supportsApple Intelligencecan also use Image Playground to generate an image for the event and use its AI Writing Tools to help write the event’s message.
Apple Invites is also integrated with Maps and Weather, so attendees can quickly get directions to the event and the weather forecast on the day of the event. It is now available on the App Store for devices with iOS 18 or later. Creating an event requires an iCloud+ subscription, which starts at $1 a month.
