Heads-Up. Exciting. Its here. We CAN now, be members, of MULTIPLE, "Family Groups" (maybe, x10)

All

FYI

"Heads-Up" ...

EXCITING stuff ...

It is here ...

And, available ...

[ No less, in the "Production" (ie. "Live") Environment ... ]

It appears NOW, that we CAN be members, of MORE than just ONE, "Family Group".

ie. We CAN now, be members, of MULTIPLE, "Family Groups".

[ Well, I would suggest, up to a MAXIMUM of, maybe, at least, Ten (x10) ... ]

[ If, the "Beta" (ie. "Test") Environment, is any example ... ]

I just had a 'look', there is NO LONGER, a bar from "Creating" a SECOND or More "Family Groups".

And, I was "Sent", an "Invite", to a "Family Group"; and, able to "Join" a SECOND "Family Group", despite ALREADY being the member, of ANOTHER, "Family Group".

Then, I initiated, the process, to "Create" ANOTHER, "Family Group".

Hooray ...

Whoopee ...

Enjoy ...

Can a group be set up for a Ward Group. It would be administered by one person in the Ward. Or maybe the HP group RS group, YA group etc.?

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

Just in passing ...

Short Answer: 'Yes'.

The "Family Groups", are NOT limited, to one's 'literal' "Family".

[ We have NOT been advised, of ANY "Restriction", to 'Groups' ONLY being of one's 'literal' "Family" ... ]

There are Many DIFFERENT forms of ("Family") "Groups", there are:

[ BUT, certainly NOT "Limited" to ... ]

(1) 'Literal' ("Family") "Groups"; and/or,

(2) 'Ward'/'Branch' ("Family") "Groups"; and/or,

(3) 'Stake/District/Mission' ("Family") "Groups"; and/or,

(4) 'Helping' ("Family") "Groups" [ ie. those that a User/Patron is "Helping" ]; and/or, 

(5) ('Consultant) 'Planner' ("Family") "Groups"; and/or,

(6) 'Young Mens' ("Family") "Groups"; and/or,

(7) 'Young Womens' ("Family") "Groups"; and/or, 

(8) 'Elders Quorum' ("Family") "Groups"; and/or,

(9) 'Relief Society' ("Family") "Groups"; and/or,

(10) the list of ("Family") "Groups" just goes on ...

Currently ...

ALL, of the aforementioned ("Family") "Groups", are PRIMARILY, for the "Sharing", of "Temple" Work; but, also for a SECONDARY form of a "Group" 'Messaging' Tool.

Whereas ...

There may be OTHER "Uses" of the "Family Groups", in the future ...

There has been 'Talk', in this Forum, that has suggested, that "Family Groups" MAY later, include a 'component', to enable the "Sharing", of the "Living" individuals/persons, in our "Private Spaces", between members of the particular 'Group'; as, a "Family Group" is, in fact, a "Closed" PRIVATE 'Group', with somewhat of a 'Modicum', of "Privacy".

But, ONLY 'Time' will tell ...

We can but live in hope ... ​

Good Luck.

Just my thoughts.

My understanding is that shared Temple file names are now able to be accessed by stake members. So maybe there will not be a need to form a Ward Group.

If a member of the stake shares a name to the temple, then when another member of the stake uses the Ordinances Ready feature to find a name, the computer will search for shared temple names from other members in the stake as one of its sources for a name.
