Apple Invites app now lets hosts poll guests, plus new emoji effect added

Apple Invites, an iCloud+ feature, just added two new features in this month’s update. Invites is Apple’s digital event planning app for iCloud+ subscribers. It’s available on iPhone and iPad. The app doesn’t require an iPhone or a paid iCloud account to respond to digital events created with Apple Invites. November’s update adds these two new features: Hosts can now add a poll to an invitation and let guests vote on details such as the theme, menu, or anything you’re deciding. Add an emoji effect to match the vibe of your event and watch it float across your invitation. Additionally, Apple says the new version, 1.13, includes the usual bug fixes and performance improvements. Apple regularly updates the Invites app for iPhone. While there’s no iPad version yet, Apple Invites gained its first iMessage app this year, putting Invites where people are already chatting. Apple Invites for iPhone is available on the App Store. Creating a digital invitation requires iCloud+, and anyone can respond. FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. More.
