Apple’s Invites app just got its first new feature since launch

1 month ago 1

Apple Invites launched earlier this year as a way to coordinate social events. Today, via a new App Store update, the app has received its first new feature since launch.

Link tiles let you embed external links in your Apple Invites event

Apple Invites version 1.2 is now available on the App Store.

Previous releases have only introduced bug fixes and performance improvements—no new features whatsoever.

But today’s update brings the first proper upgrade. Here are Apple’s release notes:

Add a Link tile to link your guests to a gift registry, potluck list, trip planner, and more – right within the event.

When creating an event in the updated Apple Invites app, you’ll see the Link tile option near the bottom.

Invites provides three fields to complete for your Link tile:

Link to: this is where you add the URL
Title: the title you want to appear for the link
Description: and a lengthier description of the link, with a 250 character max

While Apple Invites previously offered native support for linking shared Apple Music playlists of Apple Photos albums, now you can add any type of link you’d like to an event.
