Map Addresses Flag Incomplete Fields for Editing Swipe rows to edit on device; amber warnings flag… map

The amber flag targets the specific field missing a value, such as a postal code or unit number, so the edit that follows a swipe fixes exactly what geocoding needs rather than requiring a full re-entry.

Double-tapping the header re-fits the map's zoom and center to include every family member's pin at once, so no one falls outside the visible bounds after the section expands.

QR Codes Enlarge for Easy Scanning Responsive sizing; grows via container-transform with… qr

A container-transform animation grows the QR code smoothly from its original position to full size rather than swapping to a new screen, and tapping anywhere dismisses it back in place.

Native Share Sheet for Addresses, URLs, and QR Codes Addresses, coordinates, URLs, and QR codes open your… sharing

Routing addresses, coordinates, URLs, and QR codes through the device's native share sheet means the same target list of email clients and messaging apps installed on the phone is available everywhere content can be sent.

The intro line varies by relationship context rather than using one fixed phrase, so the same Say Hi flow doesn't read identically for every contact.

Tapping routes to the exact contact or group referenced in that activity entry, rather than requiring a manual search to find who or what the logged event was about.
