New "Family Groups" on Android App for Sharing Ordinance Reservations?

Jon W. Thomas

Did anybody notice today the Android FamilySearch Family Tree app now has a "Family Groups" tab under the "Temple" menu?

But I don't see any button yet to create or join a Family Group, even while sharing an ordinance. So I assume this feature is a work "in progress"? Stay tuned.

@Jon W. Thomas I'm not seeing Family Groups on the Android Family Tree app on my phone. Maybe it's a gradual roll-out. But I found this in the Help Center aobut the new Family Groups. Maybe it will help:

Turns out you use the website version to create your first "Family Group". Then the app version comes alive. Go to https://www.familysearch.org/groups/family

Sounds fun! I checked my ipod and in the iOS version of Family Tree the Family Groups selection is now under the more menu and you can create a group right there:

Will have to try this later today when I have more time and see how it works.
