What it is

MyHeritage Mobile App helps people build family trees, investigate family history and share family photos and discoveries with relatives. Users can add people to a tree and edit family members’ details from the app. It also provides mobile access to MyHeritage’s search engine and billions of records, including family trees, vital records, immigration and military records, censuses and newspapers. Some records are free to view; others require a MyHeritage data subscription. Users can upload photos from their devices to a family site, review Smart Matches and Record Matches, and add finds from Instant Discoveries. Basic family sites are free, with a limit of 250 people across the site’s trees and 500 MB of storage. Guests are automatically prevented from seeing sensitive details about living family members, though owners can adjust privacy settings. The app is available on Android, iOS and web. The newest version requires Android 4.1 or later or iOS 9.0 or later, plus a touch screen and high-definition display.
