Help & FAQ

How do I add a new loved one?

From your home screen, tap "Add Loved One" and fill in their name and details. Your first loved one profile is included free — additional profiles can be added for $1.99 each.

How much storage do I get, and how do I get more?

Each loved one profile starts with a set amount of storage for photos, videos, and recordings. If you need more room, you can purchase a 5GB storage expansion for $3.99 from within that loved one's profile.

How do I record an answer to an interview question?

Open a loved one's profile, go to the interview questions section, and tap the record button next to any question. You can play back and re-record your answer at any time — re-recording replaces the previous answer.

How do favorites work?

Tap the heart icon on any photo, video, or recorded answer to add it to that loved one's Favorites collection, so it's easy to find later.

Is my content private?

Yes. Your loved one's photos, videos, and recordings are private to your account and are not shared with anyone else.

How do I set up an app lock or PIN?

Go to Settings > App Lock to set up a PIN, which will be required to open Beloved Presence going forward.

I made a purchase but don't see the extra storage or loved one slot — what do I do?

Try closing and reopening the app first. If it still hasn't appeared after a few minutes, contact support with your order number from your Google Play receipt email.

How do I delete a loved one's profile?

Open that loved one's profile menu and choose Delete. This permanently removes their photos, videos, and recordings, so download anything you want to keep first.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings > Account and choose Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and all associated data.

What is "Save to This Device"?

It creates your own personal, permanent copy of everything saved for one loved one — photos, videos, recordings, signature, consent, and more — saved directly to your phone, independent of the app.

How do I use "Save to This Device"?

Open a loved one's profile, go to their menu, and choose "Save to This Device." You'll be asked to pick a folder on your phone, and given the option to also allow saving to your photo gallery.

Why do some videos end up in my photo gallery instead of the chosen folder?

Very large videos can't always be safely processed the same way as smaller files on every phone, so videos are saved to your regular photo gallery, where there's no such limit. Photos and audio recordings always go into the folder you chose.

What is the "Open Me First" file?

It's a page you can open right on your phone, no app or account needed, showing everything about your loved one in one place — including working, tap-to-play audio for every interview recording. If prompted to select which app to use for opening the file, open it using your Internet Browser. You can also open it on a computer the same way.

How do I add someone's spouse to the family tree?

When adding or editing a family member, tap "Spouse" and choose from the tree. This automatically links both people together — you don't need to edit the other person separately.

What if someone has children with more than one person?

Use the "Other Parent" option when adding that child, so their actual two parents are recorded accurately — independent of anyone's current marriage.

Can I zoom in on the family tree?

Yes — pinch to zoom in or out, and drag to move around. Turn your phone sideways for a larger, full-screen view of the whole tree.
