Apple Invites App Updated With Two New Features

The free Apple Invites app for the iPhone was updated today with two new features: hosts can now add polls to invitations so guests can vote on details such as a party's theme and food, and hosts can now add an "emoji effect" that floats across invitations. Released in February 2025, the Apple Invites app makes it easy to invite people to events, such as birthday parties and baby showers. The ability to create an event in the app requires subscribing to an iCloud+ plan with at least 50GB of storage for $0.99 per month, but anyone who receives an event link can RSVP for free on any device.

Google Says Gemini App Rolling Out on Apple CarPlay Starting Today

Google has announced that a dedicated Gemini app on Apple CarPlay is rolling out around the world in several languages starting today, allowing you to have conversations with the AI assistant right from your vehicle's dashboard. Gemini conversations on your iPhone automatically sync to CarPlay, so you can continue a previous conversation or start a new one. For example, you can ask Gemini to "Give me my daily brief for today" and it can give you a personalized answer based on your information in apps such as Gmail and Google Calendar. Or if you are driving around and looking for a restaurant, you could ask "What's a quick lunch spot in downtown Austin that's easy to get in and out of?" To get started, make sure you have the latest version of the Gemini app on your iPhone. Then, tap on the Gemini icon on CarPlay to start a conversation. CarPlay gained support for voice-based conversational AI apps starting with iOS 26.4. AI apps that have already rolled out CarPlay support include OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, X's Grok, Microsoft's Copilot, Perplexity, and others. iOS 27 also added Siri AI support to CarPlay, complete with a Siri app. Gemini was already available within the Google Maps app on CarPlay.
