Getting started with Link-ages could not be easier. Simply download the Link-ages App on your smartphone device and the app will guide you through creating an account. Once this is done, you can create a private ‘Bubble’ for your family and friends within Link-ages Lite (free) or Link-ages Plus. (find out more about Link-ages Lite and Link-ages Plus)
Once you have set up Link-ages you can invite family and friends to connect with you. They will receive an email asking them to download the app, or if they already have a Link-ages account and they are happy to share their private pin number, they will receive an in-app invitation.

Link-ages allows families and friends to stay in touch using text, voice and video messaging.
The clear, simple and ad-free interface has been designed to make it easy for everyone to stay connected and up to date.
Link-ages has been designed to keep all users, especially vulnerable individuals, safe whilst they are online.
High levels of security and privacy protection are built in. Each Hub is the centre of its own private network so that you can be confident your loved ones will be protected.
Link-ages was designed with input from the people we want to benefit from it so that we could fully understand their needs.
The result is a simple interface with no clutter or distractions, large, easy to read buttons and self-explanatory features designed to minimise learning time.
The built in messaging, photo sharing and diary functions keep your loved one up to date with the latest family news, photos and events, even when they can't be there in person.
And the photo gallery allows the creation of digital storybooks to spark conversation and stimulate happy memories of past times.
