Apple Rumored to Debut Confetti, a New iCloud Feature

Apple might just be changing the way we send invites and organize events. Rumours are swirling that the company is working on a new iCloud-based service called Confetti, and if the reports are accurate, this could disrupt event planning.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Confetti is Apple’s attempt at reimagining how users send invitations and manage events, providing a more engaging experience than the existing Calendar app. While Apple’s Calendar allows for basic event scheduling and invites, Confetti is expected to bring features like RSVP tracking, guest list management, and potentially even animated or interactive invitations.

If you’re wondering why Apple would create a separate event-planning service when it already has Calendar, the answer seems to lie in Confetti’s focus on social engagement rather than just scheduling. While Calendar is great for setting reminders, it lacks the more personal, visually appealing aspects of event-planning apps.

It’s expected to roll out as part of iOS 18.3, which has already started reaching iPhones and iPads. Apple hasn’t officially announced it yet, but references to Confetti have been spotted in iOS beta versions, indicating the feature is already in development.

How Apple intends to integrate Confetti into its ecosystem is unknown. Some reports suggest it will likely be built into iCloud, making it available across all Apple devices. While some other sources speculate that Apple could embed Confetti within iMessage, making it as easy as sending a text.

Since Confetti is rumoured to be tied to iOS 18.3, its launch could happen very soon. However, Apple hasn’t officially confirmed a release date.

While competitors like Google already offer cool event-planning features, Apple’s approach might focus on making event invites more personal, visually engaging, and tightly integrated into its ecosystem.
