Photos, stories, milestones, voice
Share a picture, write a few lines, mark a milestone, or record a voice note. Grandpa telling the story beats Grandpa typing it.
Family Feed
One feed, and only your people in it.
The photos that used to scatter across five group chats land in one place, in order, with the people who love them right underneath.
Features / Family Feed
How it worksFamily Feed, step by step.
- Open the app. The Family Feed is the first tab, newest first.
- Pick a room at the top: Everyone, or one of your circles such as The whole family or Grandkids.
- Heart a post, or write under it in Say something kind.
- Tap Share in the middle of the bar to add your own: a story, a photo, a milestone or a voice note.
What you see
The details that make it work.
- Every post shows who shared it, when, and the photo, words or recording.
- Hearts and comments sit under each post, so a photo turns into a conversation.
- Posts made for one circle stay in that circle.
- No ranking, no suggestions and nothing slipped in between your family’s posts.
Why it matters
Made for a family, not a feed of strangers.
Share with the right room
Post to the whole family or just one circle, like the grandkids.
Hearts and comments
Everyone can heart a post and say something under it, so a photo becomes a little conversation instead of a read receipt.
No algorithm
Newest first, from your family only. Nothing is ranked, boosted or slipped in between your posts.
Questions
