Apple updated its Invites app to add a co-hosting feature that lets two or more people plan and manage a party or event.

There are also new event background options available, and hosts have the option to make invited guests visible to all attendees. Apple's notes for the update are below:
  • Cohosting is now available, letting you easily plan and manage your party with others.
  • New event backgrounds help set the mood for your next coffee catch-up, boba run, ice cream social, and more.
  • Hosts can now choose to make invited guests visible to all attendees.
  • This update contains bug fixes and performance improvements.

Apple introduced the Invites app in early 2024, and has continued to introduce updates since then. Invites is available on the iPhone and via iCloud, so invitations can be sent to anyone. Guests are able to RSVP from the iPhone app or from the web.

I tried this app 3 times so far, it's not a bad app.

The lack of co-hosting was a real let-down, and the "news" feed was way too easy to miss.
Other than that, it does make beautiful invites.

I'm surprised at how many updates this app gets. Seems like lots of other apps, that seem to be way more useful, wither on the vine & are eventually removed. But somehow, this one keeps getting upgrades.

Good to know about the changes. However I have yet to use the app. Apple should allow everyone to create invites and not just iCloud+ subscribers.
 
Cool. Meanwhile, in the real world every invite I’ve gotten in the past year has been through Partiful (younger people / fun stuff) or maybe Paperless Post or Evite (parents, kids birthday parties, etc).

This is definitely one of those “network effect” things where you end up using what other people use. See also: Venmo or Zelle vs. Apple Cash.

If this could add meal planning, then I would use it for lots of things. Hate having to send out random surveys to figure out what people want to eat or what they can bring.
 
I have questions.

How many people can simultaneously co-host a single event?

Can the original host kick out a co-host for inappropriate behavior — or any other reason, for that matter?

Can a host on iOS appoint a co-host who uses Android?
