About app MyHeritage
What if you could discover your family's hidden stories, connect with distant relatives, and build a lasting legacy — all from your phone?
MyHeritage transforms your Android device into a powerful genealogy research tool. Whether you are tracing your lineage back centuries or simply curious about your ethnic origins, this social utility app provides the infrastructure to build, preserve, and share your family history. It combines advanced archival technology with a global social network of over 50 million users, allowing you to uncover connections that traditional family trees cannot reveal.
Core Research and Discovery Tools
The app offers a complete suite for building and expanding your family tree. You can manually add relatives with birth, marriage, and death details, or import data from other services. The Smart Matches™ technology automatically scans millions of public family trees to find potential relatives who share your ancestors, sending you instant notifications when a match is found. Record Detective™ goes further by analyzing historical documents — census records, immigration manifests, and newspaper archives — to suggest new branches and verify existing information.
For visual storytelling, the app includes Deep Nostalgia™, an AI-driven tool that animates still photographs of your ancestors, producing lifelike motion in their faces. The Photo Enhancer restores damaged or blurry old images using neural networks, recovering faces and details that were previously unreadable. Colorize technology adds realistic color to black-and-white photos, making historical family moments feel contemporary.

Social and Sharing Features
MyHeritage functions as a private social network for your family. You can invite relatives to view and edit your tree, share photo albums, and discuss discoveries in a dedicated feed. The app supports multi-user collaboration, meaning multiple family members can contribute information simultaneously without conflicts. A built-in messaging system allows you to contact DNA matches or tree owners directly, facilitating introductions and information exchange.
The mobile interface includes offline mode, letting you browse your tree and view photos even without an internet connection. Changes sync automatically when you reconnect. The app also integrates with the MyHeritage DNA test, providing a unified dashboard where you can compare your ethnicity estimate against your tree’s geographic origins, and see which relatives share specific DNA segments.
Technical Performance and Accessibility
The app is optimized for Android 8.0 and above, with a responsive layout that works on both phones and tablets. Cloud storage ensures your data is backed up and accessible from any device. Search functionality supports 42 languages, including advanced phonetic matching for names written in different alphabets. The tree builder includes a relationship calculator, timeline view, and fan chart generator for visualizing lineage.
We suggest trying the free tier to explore basic tree building and photo tools. Consider downloading the app if you value preserving family stories, discovering genetic matches, or collaborating with relatives across generations.
