BillionGraves
BillionGraves is a genealogy app that helps people photograph, map, and search grave records with GPS-linked cemetery data.
What is BillionGraves?
BillionGraves is a genealogy and cemetery-records app for documenting gravestones and finding burial information. It helps volunteers photograph headstones with location data and upload those records so families, researchers, and local history users can search them later. The app is commonly used to capture gravestone photos in cemeteries, search for a person’s grave, browse cemetery listings, and contribute missing records to the larger BillionGraves database. It also supports account-based workflows such as tracking uploads and working with records connected to the BillionGraves website. BillionGraves is designed around smartphone use for field collection, especially where GPS and camera access are needed, and its record-search features connect closely with the service’s web platform.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
BillionGraves is a legitimate genealogy app. Camera and location access are normal for its purpose because it records gravestone photos and GPS positions in cemeteries. The main privacy consideration is that anything you upload becomes part of a shared records service, so review photos before submitting and avoid including unrelated people or private details in images.
Recommendation: Keep BillionGraves if you use it for family history research, cemetery documentation, or grave searches. If you no longer use the service, you can remove the app without affecting macOS, though you may want to keep it if you still rely on your account history or plan to contribute more records later.
