Can I record my own voice?

Yes – record This is me and say hello in your own voice, so your great-great-grandchildren can hear you one day. It's a lovely thing to leave on your card: a story, a favourite saying, or just "Hello, it's Nan!". Each person can have one This is me on a free tree and up to five on a paid tree, up to a minute each. Want to change it on a free tree? Press Record mine again and the new one replaces the old. For example, say Grandad George isn't happy with his first go – he records again and the new one takes its place. Voice messages to each other, and voice notes on the Wall, come with paid trees.

Where to find it

  • Press your name in "Signed in as" (top row) → your card opens → Personal settings on the card's button row → My Voice / Voice Messages → This is me

    Only on your own card.

On a phone: if the card's buttons are tucked away, press ☰ Menu first.
