Apple Invites App Updated With Two New Features

The free Apple Invites app for the iPhone was updated today with two new features: hosts can now more easily manually add guests to an event and mark their RSVP status, and the app's Home Screen widget now supports the extra large size option.

General Invites App Feature
Released in February 2025, the Apple Invites app makes it easy to invite people to events, such as 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 an event link can RSVP for free on any device.

Apple's full release notes for version 1.12.1 of the app:

• Hosts can now more easily manually add guests to the event and mark their RSVP status, so your guest list stays accurate even when someone confirms outside the app.

• Invites widget now supports the extra large size to give you more options to countdown on your Home Screen.

• This update contains bug fixes and performance improvements.

The update is available now in the App Store.

Maybe the emphasis in on the second syllable in "Invites"?
What was the official name of the Pentagon pre-current era? The Department of _____?

If a football player isn’t playing offense, he’s likely playing _____?

Same word. Both nouns. Annoying switching of emphasis in the second example. Oh wait, you prefer I actually focus on football players who play offense? I hope you don’t take offense….

This dumb app is such a weird distraction for a 5 trillion dollar company. There's nothing wrong with the concept itself, if people find something like this useful great, but why would Apple waste even the slightest resource, even if it's just one junior developer spending a ton of Claude tokens, creating and maintaining a first-party version? There must be some grand plan to tie the concept into yet more services revenue somehow.

There's a fair share of software decisions like this that suggest Apple lacks people willing to stand up and say "No, that's incredibly stupid, let's not."

Don't feel bad - I haven't heard of it until today.

Maybe I don't have friends either?

Damn.
