To use Family Messages, sign in first.
This page explains how it works. The tool itself is inside your SeniorThrive account.
Your Circle has a built-in message space so the people who care about you can check in, send photos, and share small updates, without the clutter of group texts, email threads, and social media.
It is a quieter place. Just your people.
To send a message
Tap the Messages icon in the top bar. It opens the conversation for your Circle.
Type what you want to say, or tap the photo icon to add a picture.
Tap Send.
Everyone in your Circle sees it. If someone is away for a few days, they see it when they come back.
Turning a message into a task
A family member reading the chat can turn any message into a task on the shared Tasks list. Under the message they tap Turn into task, check the wording, choose who it is for and when, and tap Save to Our List. When a message already reads like a request or an errand, a small Add to Our List chip appears under it to save the step. The task carries a note saying which message it came from. See Turn a message into a task for the whole flow.
To invite someone new to your Circle
Open My Circle under Family & Friends.
Tap Invite someone to strengthen the Circle.
Enter their first name and email. They get a short invitation with a link. Once they accept, they can send and receive messages alongside you.
A few things worth knowing
Messages are private to your circle. SeniorThrive staff do not read them. Other users cannot see them. They belong to your family.
Photos stay, too. If your granddaughter sent a picture from graduation last spring, scroll up and it is still there.
You can leave anytime. If a relationship changes and you would rather not share anymore, remove the person from My Circle. Their old messages stay in the thread, but they stop receiving new ones.
