Apple might be starting the year off with a new app in the works – Invites. While details are scarce, it could potentially shake things up for event planning apps like Evite or Partiful.
Code discovered in the iOS 18.3 beta suggests Apple is developing a new way to manage invites for both in-person and virtual gatherings. The app is rumored to integrate seamlessly with iCloud and potentially offer a web version accessible on iCloud.com.
While Apple’s Calendar app already allows sending invites for meetings, Invites might offer a different approach. Imagine a visually appealing webpage showcasing event details and a guest list – perfect for birthdays, weddings, reunions, company gatherings, and more.
Reports also hint at Apple utilizing GroupKit, a recently introduced internal framework, to manage invitee groups. Additionally, there might be a mini app for iMessage allowing quick access to the Invites app.
There’s no official confirmation from Apple yet, and users might have to wait a while before getting their hands on this new app. However, the rumors suggest a potential shift towards a more streamlined and visually engaging event management experience on iPhones.
