For grandparents and relatives
Someone sent you a link. Here’s what happens next.
You don’t need an account or an app to see what a parent shared with you.
Open the link
It opens in your phone’s browser. The preview in Messages never shows the child’s photo or name.
Enter the code we email you
If the parent added your email, we send a one-time code the first time you open it. If they didn’t, the link works on up to 2 devices.
Come back for 30 days
That phone or computer stays signed in for 30 days. After that, you’ll get a new code.
What you can see
- The photos, videos, milestones and art a parent shares with you
- Comments from others who can see the same post
- A weekly email with new posts, if the parent turns it on
What you can’t see
- The family inbox, calendar details and expenses
- Logs, unless a parent gives you that access
- Anything a parent hasn’t shared with you
Questions from grandparents and relatives
Do I need to download an app?
No. A shared link opens in your phone's or computer's browser. You don't need an account either.
Why did I get a code by email?
If the parent added your email, we send a one-time code the first time you open the link, so only you can open it. That phone or computer then stays signed in for 30 days.
What if the parent didn't add my email?
Then the link works on up to 2 devices without a code.
Can I see more?
Tap “Ask to be added” on any shared page. The parent gets your request and chooses what you can see.
Do I have to pay?
No. Only parents can subscribe to Family Circle. Relatives never need to pay.
Are you a parent?
