The free Apple Invites app for iPhone was updated today with three new features: Shared Albums now support full-resolution photo sharing, Image Playground now lets you create photorealistic backgrounds for invitations, and guests who need to verify their email can now tap a link in their inbox instead of entering a code.
Released in February 2025, the Apple Invites app makes it easy to invite people to events, like birthday parties and baby showers. The ability to create an event in the app requires subscribing to an iCloud+ plan with at least 50GB of storage for $0.99 per month, but anyone who receives a link to the event can RSVP for free on any device.
Apple’s full release notes for version 1.12.0 of the app:
• Shared albums now support full-resolution sharing, so you can relive every moment in stunning detail right in the app. Anyone, including users without an Apple device, can participate and contribute.
• Image Playground now lets you create high-quality backgrounds in virtually any style, including photorealistic, so your invitation captures exactly the vibe you have in mind.
• Guests who need to verify their email can now tap a link in their inbox instead of entering a code, making it even easier to attend an event.
• This update contains bug fixes and performance improvements.
The update is now available in the App Store.
