## What is Family Beacon Mobile?

Keep your loved ones in the loop — even if they don't use iMessage.

FamilyBeacon lets your family send messages, photos, and links directly to an
iPad. Messages appear the moment they arrive, with no tapping required.
Perfect for parents or grandparents who prefer a tablet over a smartphone.

For senders (iPhone)
 - Compose messages with text, photos, and links
 - See when your message was read
 - Send photos and URLs directly from the share sheet, without opening the app

  For the receiver (iPad)
  - Messages arrive automatically — nothing to tap, no app to open
  - Works in Guided Access mode for a permanent kitchen-counter or nightstand
  display
  - Tap any link to open it in your browser

  Private by design
  FamilyBeacon uses iCloud to sync — your messages never touch a third-party
  server. Invite family members with a single link; only invited people can
  send.
