Apple’s invitation app with the first feature update

With Apple’s market on the market this year, also called invitation in English, iCloud+users can plan and manage events such as parties, family reunions or sporting events. The manufacturer had updated the app regularly, but even with the first point release 1.1 there were no new functions, Apple always only kept mistakes and delivered “improvements in performance”. With Invitations 1.2which has been ready since this week, the iPhone producer is now missing for the first time.

Link tile as “Major Update”

The “Major Update” (o-sound Apple): The program can now also transmit links into invitations for the first time. There is also a new link tile “with which your guests can be referred to gifts or feeders for souvenirs and much more- directly in the event,” said Apple. The function is implemented in such a way that links do not disappear, they always remain assigned to an event. The link tile (link tile) consists of the link, a link title and a link description. Only Apple itself knows why the function was not part of invitations.

What invitations are still missing is a form of liberation from the Apple ecosystem: The group still demands that they have an Apple account (formerly Apple ID) to accept invitations. These appear either via the app (on the iPhone when there are invitations) or on the web (via iCloud.com). It remains unclear whether Apple is concerned with Apple account obligation. The access is free and so the group can generate new “members”.

99 cents a month for inviting

As mentioned, the invitation app is only intended for iCloud+users: only these can create invitations, but they can also be accepted by free users. The iCloud+subscription costs at least 99 cents a month. The app finally allows you to manage who comes and who does not come. You can also share playlists later and spread photo series from the event via the app.

Due to the Apple account obligation, the application is particularly recommended in the Apple-affined Freundeskreis-unless you want to hear that Android friends are bothered by being forced from Apple to create an account.
