About Family — stay in touch
Family is calls and messages just for your own people. No strangers, no ads: the app only shows the people you invited to your family. CALLS • Voice and video calls — sound and video go directly between devices. • Group calls: bring another family member into the conversation. • Screen sharing — an easy way to help your parents with their phone or computer. • On iPhone an incoming call rings like a regular phone call, even when the app is closed. CHAT • Private conversations with each family member and a shared family chat. • Photos, videos and files in messages, likes, "delivered" and "read" marks. • Take a photo of the other person right during a video call — it goes straight to your gallery. WHERE EVERYONE IS • If you choose to, share your location with your family: the map shows who is where. • One switch turns it on and off; only the last point is kept. EASY TO START • Sign in with a code sent to your e-mail — no password, no phone number. Or scan a QR code from a device where you are already signed in. • Invite your loved ones with a link — they join your family right away. • iPhone and Mac — one account on all your devices. Free and without ads. We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. You can delete your account right in the app: Settings → Delete account.
What’s new
Version 1.15.34 · Updated October 21, 2026
• A chat opens at the first unread message, with an «Unread» line and a button down to the newest. • Scheduled messages: long-press Send — in the morning, in an hour or at a time you pick. If it is night for your relative, we suggest sending later or silently. • Chat effects: confetti, hearts, fireworks and more. • Up to three different reactions per message and a new «OK» one. • Day and night themes, chat backgrounds with a light pattern. • Call and video icons in a personal chat. • A note when a new version is out. • Calls hold better on a poor connection.
