How can I connect myself with my extended family?
Me and my siblings have started using the family tree app, but we can't get the app to connect us as siblings. There is info about our grandparents but not our parents, I have created them in the family tree but my siblings are not able to find them and thus connect between ourselves. Same thing happening with my cousins.

Profiles you enter for living people are only visible to you. You and your siblings will each need to enter your own versions of the living people between yourselves and your deceased ancestors. You'll all connect to the collaborative tree when you get to those deceased ancestors.
There is also the new Family Group Trees feature, but I don't know anything about it beyond its existence.

@LT9L-TTC, none of the layouts have changed on FS in years.
I'm wondering if perhaps you unintentionally collapsed a Vitals section in Family Tree, so now it's not showing them to you. Luckily, undoing that is simple: go to any profile's Details page — such as this one — and click the little "v" at the right-hand end of the strip that's labeled Vitals at the left. Now the Vitals box will be open on every profile you look at. (If it's not a "v" but a "^", then Vitals is already open, and you can move on to my next suggestion.)
The other possibility is that you're accustomed to the Detail View but have unintentionally turned it off. This is likewise easy to fix: again, start on any profile's Details page (see link above), make sure the Vitals box is open, and set the slider at the top left (labeled "Detail View") to "on" (teal, filled, with the circle on the right [text side]). This will show the "last changed" date and contributor for each conclusion.
