He also mentions that “Confetti” is linked to iOS 18.3, which started rolling out to iPhone and iPad users late last month. This means Apple could activate the service at any time. However, there aren’t many details available just yet. Last month, 9to5Mac first reported on this feature after discovering it in the iOS 18.3 beta code.

Apple’s New iCloud Service “Confetti” to allow organising meetings and in-person events. (Image credit - 9to5Mac) Based on the code analysis, this new app seems to be designed for organising meetings and in-person events. While Apple’s Calendar app already serves this purpose, the Invites app could bring some new and improved features. 9to5Mac, in its previous report, described the new app saying, “Code suggests that the Invites app will integrate with iCloud and will even have a web version on iCloud.com. The new app also integrates with a new iOS 18 daemon called GroupKit, which manages database models for groups of people. This daemon has been present since the first release of iOS 18.0 and hasn’t been used by any Apple apps so far.” The report further added, “Essentially, the app will show you a list of the people invited to that event and who has already confirmed their attendance. It’s unclear whether Invites will actually be a stand-alone app or whether Apple has plans to integrate it with other parts of the system (such as a mini iMessage app). Presumably, the app will have a more fun interface than what the Calendar app currently provides for inviting someone to an event.” FAQs Q1. What is the new iCloud service "Confetti" designed to do?
