Using Social Media for sharing pictures and videos of your grandchildren can be difficult to use with smaller groups like your family unit. This may be due to privacy concerns and app curation algorithms that tend to push posts with higher interest to the top of feeds. Family members don't see all the content intended for them.

One solution is to use the basic texting app in your phone, but group text threads get buried amidst other texts, and editing the group can require you to start over. Texting apps like What'sApp and GroupMe are the perfect solution for families to share and see all the latest posts including pictures and videos.

This episode - the last in our series on Connecting with your Grandchildren illustrates the use of Group text and other Texting apps such as What'sApp and GroupMe to keep up with your extended family.
