FamilyApp Tips: Create a Group

As you're setting up FamilyApp up on your mobile device, you'll notice two separate indicators towards the bottom of the screen: "Chat" and "Contact." Tapping the "Chat" indicator will take you to a list of your active chats. Tapping the "Contact" indicator will show you any Families and Groups you are currently involved with. Under the "Contact" indicator, you can toggle between your Families and Groups through selecting either the "Families" tab or the "Groups" tab at the top of the screen. You'll notice a third tab, too: "People." Tapping this tab will take you to your contacts. Invite your friends! On this screen, selecting the plus sign icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen will give you the option to create a new Family or Group. Select "New Group." The following screen will prompt you to give your new group a picture and title. Next you'll be asked to enter a DISPLAY NAME. This display name will be your handle in the new group you are creating, and any other existing display names will remain the same in other groups, families and chats.

"Invite members from contacts" and "Share invitation link." "Invite members from contacts" will bring you to your FamilyApp contact list. Here you can select other members and add them to your group (Learn how to sync your contacts to FamilyApp here). "Share invitation link" will give you the option of sending a custom text invitation outside of the app. Once your group is created, admins will have the option to add or remove group members at any time. Once you've created a group, you're all ready to start chatting and sharing content with the people you love most!
