Seeing Item not found? Confirm the tester group, opt-in page, and Play Store app all use the same Google account. Open the links in Chrome or Safari rather than an in-app browser. If it still fails, email [email protected] with your phone model.

The web app

Open web when you want a bigger workspace

The web app is best when the archive needs more room than your phone: batch upload, Albums and Timeline, restore progress, People, family-tree import, and Family Vaults. Start in the browser, or continue here after you scan on your phone.
