Announcements
Some news shouldn't scroll away. Post it once — with the photos, the date and the comments — and it stays with the people it's about, findable years later.
Frequently asked questions
How are announcements different from posting in the group chat?
Chat scrolls; announcements stay — each keeps its photos, date, people and comments, so a cousin who joins two years later can still find the day the baby arrived.
Can I attach several photos to an announcement?
Yes. Add multiple photos and they lay out as a collage, alongside the date, the people involved, comments and reactions.
Who can see our announcements?
Only your invited family. Announcements live inside the private, invite-only family space — no public feed, no ads, and private family content is not used for third-party ad targeting.
Do announcements cost anything?
No. Announcements are part of the free tier, like the tree, chat, voice and video calls and events. Everyone in the family joins free.
The moments families post
Private posts that keep the whole story with the people it belongs to.
- A new babyThe first photos, the name, and every relative's blessing under one post.
- Results & achievementsGraduations and firsts, with the date attached.
- A reunion in the worksPost the key details, then move the planning into Events & Tasks.
Important news shouldn't vanish in a thread
Keep the family group — it's where everyone reacts. But a chat is not an archive: milestones get buried, photos scatter, and relatives who join later can't find the original.
Kunbaa keeps each announcement with its date, people and place.
- Keep the original post with full context — no screenshots.
- Everyone invited sees it, whoever was online that day.
- Private announcements stay inside the family space.
Part of the family archive from day one
Each announcement joins your family's story — with the relatives it mentions and the day it landed, beside the family wall and the family archive.
About Announcements
Family news that shouldn't scroll away
A group chat is where the family reacts to news, and a terrible place to keep it: within a day the baby announcement is buried under forwards and good-morning messages, and within a year nobody can find it.
Announcements are for news that deserves a permanent spot: posted once, kept with its photos, date, the people it's about, and every comment and blessing, beside your family tree and archive.
What families announce
- New arrivals: the birth post, the first photos and everyone's wishes in one place.
- Results and milestones: graduations, first jobs, engagements — with the date attached, not guessed at later.
- Family changes: a move, a retirement, a homecoming — so relatives who join later can catch up.
Announcements and the rest of Kunbaa
Announcements sit beside the family wall for everyday updates, events for the plans that follow, and the family archive for the long view.
Announcements are free for every member of the family. See pricing for what the paid plan adds.
