Quick Start Guide
Welcome to FamilyApp, we’re glad you’re here.
We’ve worked hard to make FamilyApp into a simple operating system that every family can enjoy. But don’t be fooled — there’s a lot packed away under the hood. Simple doesn’t mean less. As you start setting up your family on FamilyApp, follow along with our 5-step quick start guide to get going as quickly as possible
1
Create your FamilyApp profile
2
Download FamilyApp for Free
You’ll be asked to type your name and choose a profile picture (the funnier the better!). It’s as simple as that.
3
Set up your family
After selecting “New Family,” you’ll be asked for three things: your family’s name, your best family photo, and the name you want to have displayed within the family chat (i.e. dad, mom, uncle Jerry, etc.)
4
Invite your family members
FamilyApp will ask your permission to sync your phone contacts to the app. Don’t worry, no one gets spammed. This simply makes inviting friends and family a little easier. Once everyone’s downloaded the app, have them follow along with steps 1 & 2. If you’ve sent a direct invite link to a family member, they’ll automatically join your family or group.
5
Manage your family
Once everyone has joined, you’re good to go! You’re the admin, so if you want to add more family members later, you’ll have everything you need to manage who has permission to join your family under the chat settings. Make the space yours — it’s for your family only.
