Tagging People in Memories

Tagging family members in your memories is one of the most powerful things you can do in Memory Murals. It connects people to stories, builds your Life Threads graph, and makes it easy to find every memory involving a specific person.

How to Tag People

When creating or editing a memory:

1. Scroll down to the People section in the memory editor
2. You will see a list of your family members
3. Tap on anyone who was part of this memory
4. Tagged people appear as highlighted chips — tap again to remove them

That is all it takes. When you save the memory, those people are permanently linked to it.

Automatic Tagging With Voice Recording

When you voice record a memory, AI listens for names you mention. If those names match family members in your roster, they are automatically tagged.

For example, if you say "Mom and I went to the farmer's market that Saturday" and you have a family member named "Mom" in your roster, she gets tagged automatically.

Adding a New Person While Tagging

If you are recording a story about someone who is not in your roster yet, you do not need to leave the editor:

1. Tap + Add person in the People section
2. Enter their name and relationship role
3. Tap Save
4. They are instantly created in your Family roster and tagged in the current memory

This keeps you in the flow of storytelling without interruptions.

Why Tagging Matters

Tagging is what makes Memory Murals more than a journal. When you tag people:

• Their memory count grows in the Family tab, showing how many stories feature them
• Life Threads builds connections between people who share memories together
• Search improves because you can find memories by who was there, not just what happened
• Family members can find their stories when they browse your shared memories

Tips for Consistent Tagging

• Tag everyone who was part of the moment, even if the story is mainly about one person. A Christmas dinner memory should include everyone who was at the table.
• Tag people mentioned in the story, not just those physically present. If you are telling a story about advice your grandfather gave you, tag him even if the memory is about how you used that advice years later.
• Review older memories. As you add more family members to your roster, go back and tag them in earlier memories where they belong.

Every tag you add strengthens the web of connections between your people and your stories.
