TECH: Apple Invites Adds Guest Polls and Floating Emoji Effects
The latest iPhone app update lets hosts ask guests to vote on event details and add animated emoji to invitations.
Apple has updated its Invites app with guest polls and floating emoji effects, adding new ways for hosts to plan events and personalize their invitations.
Version 1.13.0 lets hosts add a poll so guests can vote on details such as the theme, menu or other choices. Hosts can also choose an emoji effect that floats across an invitation.
The new features are listed in Apple's App Store release notes. The update also includes bug fixes and performance improvements.
Apple Invites lets hosts create digital invitations, manage RSVPs and share event information. Guests can reply in the iPhone app or through a web link from any device.
Creating invitations requires an iCloud+ subscription, but guests do not need a paid subscription to respond. Apple lists support for iPhones running iOS 18 or later.
