Apple is reportedly developing a new app called Invites, which could offer users an innovative way to send invitations for both in-person and online events.
Based on findings from the iOS 18.3 beta 2 code, it seems that this new app may compete with existing services like Evite and Partiful.
Though details about the Invites app are still limited, the report suggests it will integrate with iCloud, enabling users to manage their invitations seamlessly. It could also feature a web version hosted on iCloud.com.
Unlike the current calendar-based invitation system, the Invites app is expected to allow users to share a link displaying event details in a visually appealing way, along with a list of attendees—ideal for events like birthday parties, weddings, reunions, and corporate gatherings.
The app is likely to utilize Apple’s newer internal framework, GroupKit, to manage groups of invitees.
Additionally, there could be a mini app for iMessage, allowing users to easily access Invites through the messaging platform.
Although Apple has not officially confirmed or announced the release of this app, the findings indicate the company is exploring new ways to enhance event management on iOS, and it may be launched soon.
