Apple’s Apple Invites iPhone app has been updated with two new features. Hosts can now include polls in invitations so guests can vote on event details such as activities, themes, or food options. The update also adds an “emoji effect” that makes invitation icons float across the invite to match an event theme.
The changes are available in the App Store as part of the latest Apple Invites update reported by multiple outlets. MacRumors adds additional context that the Apple Invites app was released in February 2025 and that creating an event requires an iCloud+ subscription with at least 50GB storage (priced at $0.99 per month), while recipients can RSVP for free on any device.
Across coverage, the core emphasis is the same: polls for collecting guest preferences and emoji effects for visual customization, with outlets differing mainly in the amount of background provided about Apple Invites and iCloud+ requirements.
