Open Famally at the start of the week and it's already planned. Tap once to lock in 7 dinners, an auto-built grocery list (minus what you already have), and — if you like — a night held just for family dinner. Sparky picks meals that fit each night's schedule and everyone's dietary needs, and leans on your family's favorites. Also new: • Smarter recipes with Sparky — paste a link, snap a cookbook page or a photo of your fridge, or just describe what you want. Sparky builds a recipe you can edit first. Nothing is saved until you say so. • Tweak on the fly — say "make it 20 minutes," "use thighs," or "no peanuts" and the same recipe updates in place, no starting over. • Diet-aware for the whole family — Sparky flags anything unsafe for a family member before you save, and can adapt the recipe for everyone in one tap. • One camera — snap your fridge for dinner ideas, a cookbook page to import a recipe, or a receipt and Famally sends it to the right place. • AI access for older kids — parents can give a college-age child access to Sparky and AI features, and switch it on or off anytime. Plus fixes and polish across meal planning, groceries, and family settings. Have feedback or an idea? Tell us in Settings → Help — we read everything. ### 2.2 — 2026-08-25 We've made keeping your family in sync easier than ever: • Sparky reads your notes — snap a photo of a handwritten to-do or school flyer and Sparky turns it into tasks, calendar events, and shopping-list items. You review before anything is added. • Plan meals with Sparky — ask for a day or a whole week of meals that fit your goals, then swap, add, or remove with a tap. • Kids can request meals & groceries — requests appear right where they belong (on the meal planner slot and in a "Requested" section of the list) for a parent to approve or decline. • Home & Lock Screen widgets — today's schedule and what's for dinner, at a glance. • Nutrition redesign — a cleaner daily view, faster food logging, and your own custom foods, meals, and recipes. • Import recipes from a link — paste a URL and we'll pull in the ingredients and steps. Plus performance improvements and bug fixes. Thanks for using Famally! ### 1.8 — 2026-07-30 New in this update: • Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets — keep today's family in view without opening the app. Plus a big nutrition upgrade: • Complete nutrition picture — fiber, sodium, vitamins, and other micronutrients now add up automatically for recipes and Sparky meal plans, not just single foods. Older entries count too. • Fix a weigh-in — delete any weight entry from Progress to correct a mistyped number. • Find insights faster — Nutrients, Progress, and your Weekly Report now share a new "Insights" menu. • Faster loading — the Nutrition tab opens quicker and shows your day right away. • Smoother menus and layout fixes throughout Nutrition. Thanks for using Famally! Have an idea or hit a snag? We'd love to hear from you. ### 1.6 — 2026-07-18 NEW: Hey Siri, ask Famally Ask what's for dinner, what's on today's schedule, or what you're running low on — hands-free, without opening the app. You can also add a calendar event or a grocery item just by asking. Turn it on in Settings → Siri & Shortcuts. NEW: Sparky, redesigned Your family assistant now opens as a single ask-anything bar over whatever you're doing, and expands to the full screen when you want more. Fresh look throughout, in light and dark. NEW: Drag and drop meal planning Drag any meal to another day. Need a date further out? Drop it on "another date", then browse to any week or month — next week, next month, six months out — and tap the day you want. Choose which meal it lands on, and undo if you change your mind. HEALTHIER SUGGESTIONS Nutrition now scores recipes on nutrient density instead of calories alone, and respects every dietary restriction on your family's profiles. Added Whole30 and neutropenic (cancer-care) diets. NUTRITION • Pick a meal type when you log food • Recipe photos in your log • A Today button to jump straight back to the current day • Add, scan and search now live under one + menu • Edit the name before saving a scanned meal FIXES • Removing a meal with a side no longer errors • Better grocery categories — supplements, household, and produce • Various fixes and performance improvements ### 1.4 — 2026-07-12 NEW: Meal Requests Kids and teens can now request a meal for a specific day — either one of your saved recipes or a custom dish — and the whole family can vote thumbs up or thumbs down. A parent or co-parent gives final approval, and it's added straight to the meal plan. This feature is off by default; turn it on for your family in Settings. IMPROVED: Recipe Sharing Sharing a recipe now works with a simple link that anyone can open — no Famally account required. Great for sending a favorite recipe to someone who isn't on Famally yet. Plus various bug fixes and performance improvements. ## Related topics [family meals](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/family-meals) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
