Apple Invites, the new app that debuted earlier this year for organizing events, has just been updated to add a lot more background options than before.
Backgrounds are Apple’s focus in new Invites 1.3 update
Apple’s Invites app is now up to version 1.3, with the newest addition being new background options for your events.
The latest App Store release notes say:
New event backgrounds help bring to life your next pool day, drinks with friends, watch party for the big game, and more!
Browsing the updated app, Apple has clearly expanded the built-in background library significantly.

Even though Invites supports Image Playground for creating your own custom AI backgrounds, sometimes you don’t want to go through the hassle of making something new.
Not only that, but the majority of iPhone users are still holding on to older models that don’t support Apple Intelligence. For them, the built-in background options are even more important.
You’ll find a variety of new Invites backgrounds that are generic enough to be used for different types of events, but also specific enough to fit common needs.
Invites was last updated less than a month ago, with that release offering the first new feature since the app launched: link tiles.
