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 in which you are currently included.

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.”

Under the “People” tab, several new functions are available. During your first visit to the “People” tab, FamilyApp will ask your permission to access your phone contacts.

Granting us permission to access your contacts will immediately sync them to our app. This creates a quick and easy way to invite your friends and family to join FamilyApp!

If you’d rather not sync your phone contacts to FamilyApp, don’t worry; you can still customize an invitation by clicking the “Invite More Friends” function.

Just type in a phone number and hit send!
