The latest update suggests Apple wants it to be useful. When I tested briefly it failed my basic requirements so I&rsquo;m leery of evaluating further.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Every time I look at this app, I can&rsquo;t believe it exists: first because it seems totally unnecessary for Apple to be involved in this space, and second because the intended workflow and prioritization of features seem completely alien. Version 1.0 let guests collaborate on an Apple Music playlist, but it took until version 1.8 to be able to edit the number of guests?<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/take.surf\/2026\/04\/23\/cooked\">Jesper<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/take.surf\/2026\/04\/23\/cooked\">\n<p>And for a company so insistent on saying &ldquo;no&rdquo; to a thousand things to gain focus, you&rsquo;d think they could at least have skipped introducing their own credit cards.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/apple-invites-app-for-iphone-updated-heres-whats-new.2481451\/?post=34557221#post-34557221\">RedWeasel<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/apple-invites-app-for-iphone-updated-heres-whats-new.2481451\/?post=34557221#post-34557221\">\n<p>And again I have to ask myself, if SwiftUI, SwiftData etc. make it so easy to create apps for all the Apple platforms, why does such a simple app only exist for iOS? Why no macOS or iPadOS version?<\/p>\n<p>This would be a great showcase app and Apple could even provide the source code as an example of &ldquo;here&rsquo;s how we do it&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2025\/02\/04\/apple-invites\/\">Apple Invites<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tim Hardwick: Following the latest update of Apple&rsquo;s Invites app, hosts can now manually edit the guest list to update guest responses and adjust the number of additional guests.
