What's the difference between the views?

To check

Each view is a different window onto the same family – nothing changes on the tree when you switch. Press the View button on the top bar (it shows the view you're in, such as View: Family view ▾) and pick one. Family view shows you, your partners, parents and children. Family view+ adds brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. Grand family view shows three generations, and Grand family view+ adds the wider family. Pedigree goes straight up through your ancestors. Classic shows both sides of the family together, with ancestors above. Household view shows who lives together. Try them all – you can't break anything!

Where to find it

  • View, second button on the top row

On a phone: if the menu is tucked away, press ☰ Menu (top left) first.
