If you love FamilySearch Memories, keep loving it. UNA’s first release does not connect to FamilySearch, import from it, or upload to it. This page simply explains the boundary while future family features remain previews.
What FamilySearch Memories is for
FamilySearch Memories holds family photos, stories, documents, and audio. Its current upload guide says new memories are private by default. You can choose public visibility or share private memories with selected family groups. Review each item’s setting before sharing, especially when living people are involved.
For the steps, read how to check who can see a FamilySearch memory, or use FamilySearch’s official visibility guide. Public family history and a private personal record serve different purposes, even when a tool offers more than one visibility setting.
What UNA is for
In the first release, UNA is for:
- Your daily record — what’s on your heart on an ordinary Tuesday
- The Sacred Vault — never sent to UNA’s servers, with an optional sealed backup in your own iCloud Drive
- Personal reflections — formed from Today entries when you choose and are eligible
Together interviews, family spaces, Mission records, and direct FamilySearch work remain future ideas. UNA will not describe them as available until they ship.
They meet in the middle
Today entries can be downloaded from UNA when you need a portable copy. Sacred content remains under your control and is never uploaded to FamilySearch by UNA.
