If you are in more than one family, for example your own and a grandparent's, each has its own log, people and handoff. The app shows one at a time, and you switch from Family.

  1. Tap the family's name

    In More, tap Family & caregivers. Your family's name is at the top under a small Family, with a down arrow beside it. Tap it.
