How do I disable or delete invite links for family groups?

The invite links for family groups do not expire. Group administrators can delete them when they should no longer be used.

This may be helpful, in the following circumstances:

• Everyone who should be in the group has joined.
• An invite link was sent to a bigger group of people than you intended. You can then create a new invite link and send it to any remaining people who should be in the group.

Having an invite link be widely distributed is not necessarily a problem, because each person who uses it must also be approved as the final step. But if denying requests is becoming a hassle, you can delete the link.

Steps (website)

1. On FamilySearch.org, click your name.
2. Select Family Groups.
3. Click View Group.
4. Click Group Members.
5. Find the link to be deleted, and click the button shaped like a garbage can.
6. Click Delete Invitation.

Steps (mobile app)

1. In the Family Tree mobile app, tap the 3 lines icon to open the Family Groups feature:
   
   • Apple iOS—lower right
   • Android—upper left
2. Tap Family Groups.
3. Find a group for which you are administrator and tap View Group.
4. Under Invites, find the link to be deleted, and tap the button shaped like a garbage can.
5. Tap OK.
