stories don't get lost anymore. if you lock the screen while the story is being written, you'll find it waiting when you pick your phone back up — even if your phone closed the app in the meantime. and the illustration now appears on its own at the end of the story, without closing and reopening it. new: school stories the first day, nursery, saying goodbye at the gate, new friends in class. nine themes for going back to school, inside "what should they learn tonight". sleep tight.

Tonight steps outside the app. • New "Tonight" Home Screen widget: the sky turns from day to night as story time gets closer. One tap takes you where you need to be — to create tonight's story, or to the lullaby if you've already read it. • Just ask Siri: "create tonight's story," "play the lullaby." • Find your stories in Spotlight: type "dragon" and go straight back to their favorite. • Pause the lullaby right from the Lock Screen, without unlocking your phone. Good night

This one is all about family. • Saved stories now belong to everyone. With Family, the stories you save show up for whoever reads with you — and the other way round. • Nights count together too: the streak is shared, even when someone else reads the story. • Share a story. At the end of the reading there's a button to send it to whoever you like, illustration included. • Got an invite code? You can now use it right from the sign-in screen. • We ask about reminders after the first story, not before. It felt more respectful. • Small touches: the reader's X takes you where you'd expect, and a few screens finally speak your language. Goodnight

Now you can share Kiddo Stories with the people you love. With the Family plan — free — you can invite up to 4 people and share the same child profiles: anyone can create tonight's story.
