For grandparents
The simplest way to share photos with grandparents.
Send one private link. They tap it, sign in, and every new family photo is waiting for them in one album, with nothing to scroll past and nothing to set up.
Download on the App StoreFree on iPhone and iPad. Private to your family.
Joining takes one tap
Send grandparents a private invite link by message or email. They tap it, sign in, and they’re in the album.
Rather read it out over the phone? Every family has a 4-digit code. They type it into Lumo to ask to join, and anyone in the family can let them in.
Made to be easy to use
Lumo keeps to big photos, plain words and a few clear buttons. There are no feeds, no stories and no strangers, just the family’s photos, newest first.

They can reply, too
Grandparents can heart a photo or leave a comment, and everyone sees it next to the photo. They can add their own photos as well, including old prints from the family archive.

Questions
How do grandparents join?
Send them a private invite link and they tap it, or give them your 4-digit family code. A code only asks to join; someone in the family lets them in.
Do grandparents need an iPhone?
Lumo is on iPhone and iPad today, so grandparents need one of those to open the album. Invite links open on any phone or computer.
What if they lose the invite link?
Give them your 4-digit family code instead. They type it into Lumo to ask to join, and anyone in the family can let them in.
Can grandparents add photos?
Yes. Everyone in the family album can add photos and videos, heart them and comment.
Who can see our photos?
Only the people in your family album. Nothing is public, there are no followers, and photos are never shown to anyone outside your family.
