The latest Apple Invites update brings some long-requested features, like co-hosting an event. There are also some other great quality-of-life changes to the party planning app.
Back in February 2025, the Apple Invites app made its way to the App Store. With it, iOS users can create party or event invitations, manage RSVPs, share links, and more.
On Tuesday, Apple released version 1.9 of its event invitation app, which includes a new co-hosting capability. This lets two or more Apple Invites users plan and organize an event within the app.
Previously, with version 1.2, Apple Invites gained support for link sharing, letting event hosts send web links to all attendees. Apple is always improving the app even if it isn't its most popular.
With the new-and-improved Apple Invites, hosts can now also choose to make guest lists visible to all attendees. Bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements are also included with the 1.9 update of the Apple Invites app.
Additionally, the app has received new event backgrounds. Its release notes say these new backgrounds will "help set the mood for your next coffee catch-up, boba run, ice cream social, and more."
Even so, none of the requirements for Apple Invites have changed. Hosts will still need an iCloud+ subscription to organize events and send invitations via the application. Guests, meanwhile, don't even need an iPhone or iPad to RSVP to an event.
Apple Invites can come in handy if you already have an iCloud+ subscription and you want to put together a party. The app itself is quite easy to use once you get the hang of it.
