Be My Eyes has reached 600,000 blind and low vision users on Valentine\u2019s Day<\/strong>, the best time to celebrate the love for our incredible community! This incredible milestone comes just 9 months from our 500,000 blind and low vision users milestone, setting a new speed record for community expansion: this is the fastest-ever addition of 100,000 blind and low vision users to our community.
<\/strong>
To celebrate, we have decided to share with you our most anticipated features and updates that we have released in the past few weeks and that you might have missed!<\/p>\n

Be My Eyes Groups for Friends and Family<\/h2>\n

At the end of last year, we released one highly requested feature: Be My Eyes Groups for Friends and Family<\/strong>! With Be My Eyes Groups, individuals who are blind or have low vision can build their own custom network of people to help with everyday tasks, like reviewing a paper mail or reading personal documents such as financial statements, bank communications or medical prescriptions.<\/p>\n

Since launch, Be My Eyes\u2019 users have already created hundreds of groups! Our community is already experimenting with this new feature and finding new ways to use Groups for Friends and Family: for example, Be My Eyes users have been using Groups For Friends and Family to create circles of people with specific specializations, that they could go to whenever they need assistance with a highly specialized task! We love new inventive uses of our app and we can\u2019t wait to discover all the new incredible ways you will engage with Be My Eyes! Keep them coming!<\/p>\n

You can learn more about Be My Eyes Groups for Friends and Family and how to create your first circle in our dedicated blog post!<\/a><\/p>\n

Chat Sharing on Be My AI<\/h2>\n

In one of Be My Eyes\u2019 most recent updates, we have integrated another highly anticipated feature: Chat Sharing for Be My AI<\/a><\/strong>! With chat sharing, Be My Eyes users will be able to share their entire chat with friends, family members and colleagues with one simple click!<\/p>\n

In the past few weeks we have seen some great examples on how you can use chat sharing in dozens of different ways, and we would like to thank all of our users who have shared their chat with us through Social Media. Keep them coming, and we\u2019ll make sure to feature them on our channels!<\/p>\n

\u200dImportant\u00a0Notice:<\/strong> Chat sharing is currently available for all Be My Eyes users on iOS and will soon be released on Android as well. Follow us on\u00a0our Social\u00a0Media Channels and sign up to our monthly newsletter to stay updated!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next<\/h2>\n

This is what our team with the support of over 600,000 blind and low vision people have been able to achieve! For us, these are not only numbers, but the demonstration of the Be My Eyes Community\u2019s dedication to our mission<\/a>: to make the world more accessible for 285 million people who are blind or have low vision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We promise that we will continue to bring even more features to all of you, as we are already aiming at our next milestone. We are already working on new ways to reach out to your favorite companies and organizations, new innovative features for Be My Eyes<\/a> and Be My AI and much, much more! We want to keep improving and deliver a better service to everyone, and we know we will be able to reach our goals with your support and trust. To all of you, thank you and don\u2019t forget to keep on spreading the word!<\/p>\n\n\n
