Seats & managing members

Giving Family+ seats, taking them back, and admin roles.

What is a Family+ seat?

Family+ covers five people: you, plus four seats you hand out. A seat gives that person everything Family+ includes, at no extra cost to them, for as long as your subscription is active.

Seats belong to your plan, not to a group. Give someone a seat from one group and they keep it everywhere in the app — and it still counts as one of your four.

How do I give someone a seat?

Open the group, tap Members, then Give seats on the card at the top and pick who gets one. You can also tap the … beside a member and choose Give seat. Anyone holding a seat shows a Family+ tag on their row.

Why can’t I give someone a seat?

Seats only go to people you share a group with, so invite them to a group first — they show up in the picker once they join. If all four seats are in use, take one back before giving another.

Can I take a seat back?

Any time. Tap the … beside that member and choose Take back seat. They return to the free plan straight away and the seat is yours to give to someone else. Nothing they’ve logged is deleted.

Does removing someone from a group take their seat back?

No — the two are separate. Removing someone from a group leaves their seat in place. Take the seat back from Members too if you want it returned.

What happens to seats if my subscription ends?

Every seat on your plan is returned automatically and those members go back to the free plan. Resubscribe and you can hand them out again.

How do I make someone an admin?

Admins can manage the roster. Tap the … beside a member and choose Make admin. Pick Remove as admin from the same menu to undo it. A group always needs at least one admin, so the last one can’t be demoted.

How do I remove someone from a group?

Same menu: … → Remove from group. They leave right away. If the group has a money pool, settle up with them first — see Money pools & settlements.
