Related people
Link contacts with relationship labels and sync those ties back to iCloud.
Related people on a contact page extends Apple’s related contacts. You set who someone is to another person: spouse, sibling, child, and more.
- Open a contact and find the Related people section.
- Select Add, then pick a relationship label.
- Search a name and select the contact to link. For some labels, also choose how they relate back.
- Select Add 1 person (or Add N people) to save the link.
- When you link family, review Suggested — choose the relationship, then Add, then select Add on each suggestion you want.
- Change a label on an existing row, or use the remove control to drop a link.
Saves go to Memlane first, then sync to iCloud. A name with no linked card is a placeholder from Apple Contacts. You can still set its label until you link a real contact. See also Connect iCloud and the Relationship Map.
