Video calls as the standard
Video calls remain the direct way to see each other. The app shows the Memory Lane status, and call volume and quality can be adjusted during the conversation.
Communication
Stay connected across generations
Memory Lane brings video calls, postcards, WhatsApp, photos and trusted family contacts together on a calm screen. Everyone can stay involved in their own way, from grandchildren to caregivers.
Ways to connect
Not everyone keeps in touch the same way
The manuals describe several social functions: inviting family through relationship management, sharing photos, practical video calling, sending postcards and using WhatsApp. Together they make Memory Lane familiar for older adults and accessible for younger generations.
Postcards from holidays
A postcard is ideal during a holiday, a weekend away or a special moment. Choose a photo, write a short message and let your parent respond with simple reaction options.
WhatsApp for younger generations
WhatsApp fits how children and grandchildren already communicate. A Memory Lane WhatsApp group can share photos and short videos that appear on the photo frame.
All generations
A closed circle where everyone can contribute
Memory Lane is not an open social network. Family and friends are invited into a trusted circle with fitting roles. This keeps contact personal, safe and clear.
Grandchildren
Share photos and short videos quickly through WhatsApp, without learning a new routine.
Children and caregivers
Video calls, photo uploads, postcards and invitations from the app.
Parents
See familiar faces, photos, cards and calls on a calm screen that feels like a photo frame.
Trusted circle
Invite family and friends without making it busy
Family and friends can be added through relationship management. Depending on their role, they can share photos, video call, send cards or help with settings. Memory Lane grows with the family without the user needing to manage apps or contacts.
Communication that fits your family
Video calls for direct contact, postcards for beautiful moments and WhatsApp for younger generations: Memory Lane makes family contact easier without making the screen complicated.
