What problem does MyHeritage Highlight Mutual Matches 50cM+ solve?
When you open the shared matches list for any of your DNA matches on MyHeritage, the strongest mutual matches blend in with the rest of the list. MyHeritage Highlight Mutual Matches 50cM+ makes the largest shared matches stand out so you can spot the most relevant mutual relatives at a glance.
How does MyHeritage Highlight Mutual Matches 50cM+ work?
On any MyHeritage shared matches list, the shared cM amount for every mutual match over your chosen threshold is shown in larger, bold red text. The default threshold is 50cM, and you can change it to any value that suits your research. Matches under the threshold are left as MyHeritage normally displays them. A small open-in-new-tab icon also appears next to each cM value, and clicking the cM value opens DNA Painter’s Shared cM Tool in a new tab with that value pre-filled.
