Done means done Once your library has been checked, the app says so and leaves it alone until new photos arrive. No more "getting ready" on a finished library, and nothing about photo checking on the lock screen. The app learns from you right away. Confirm your child in a photo and the nearby months fill in on the spot; mark a face as not your child and it leaves every album and suggestion, with a line telling you what changed. Your family's details are kept on your phone and checked quietly in the background, so a brief connection hiccup never shows a card or pauses your photos. Tonight has its full shape again: today, this week, this month, a year ago, your Firsts, and from the beginning, starting with the newborn weeks. Nights you missed are kept. Firsts found from photos are more careful about what they show, and a First smile is no longer held back by photos the app couldn't read. Trips are places you actually went: the next town over stays home, and each place keeps its own album. Faster and quieter throughout: your partner's photos are laid out only when something new arrives, and coming back to the app no longer reloads what hasn't changed.

Straight to your photos Our Little World now opens straight to your family's world, like Photos does, with or without a signal. The account check happens quietly in the background. Photo checking has left the home. It lives in Settings › Photos, where you can see exactly which photos couldn't be read, why, and try them again. Albums are real albums. Trips get their own album, named for the city. Albums with Mama, Dada and family come first. The months of the year no longer fill the list. Growing up keeps a spot for this month. If there's no photo at your child's current age yet, an "Add a photo" circle is waiting for one. Firsts found from photos are more careful. A First swim now needs your child in the water, not just a pool in the background, and each suggestion says what to check before you keep it. Your partner's photos show right away on a weak connection, and sharpen when you're back online. On iPhone Duo, the Journal opens like a book: a photo on one page and your entries on the other, and the photo you pick opens with all of your words. Growing up and Firsts are there the moment the app opens, and stay put. Marking a face "Not Reuben" now teaches the app: look-alike faces leave your child's world and are not suggested again. Trip albums are real trips, 40 km or more from home, with nearby stops in one album. Also on iPhone Duo: open Then and now like a book, one age on each page, and read a letter with its photo on one page and your words on the other.

Refined for iPhone Duo Open a photo and choose Story to keep its words and voice on the facing page. Compare two months in Growing up, browse Journal entries beside the list, and set Tonight on the table with moments above the fold and controls below. Photos now size to the space they're shown in, with improved continuity as you open, close or resize the app. We've also improved family sign-in recovery, resumable photo organization, and Growing up coverage so it's clearer what is ready and what needs attention.

Setup now ends by creating your account or signing in, so your child's world is kept with your account and you can invite the other parent from Settings. Settings shows which account you're signed in with, and Sign out sits near the top. Clearer numbers while the app first looks through your photos, including when photos are still coming from iCloud. Pinching a photo grid changes the number of columns in clear steps. Drawings and screenshots of your child can stay in their space without changing how the app recognizes them. Telling the app a photo isn't your child now also undoes what it learned from that photo. Fixes for a few places in sign-up where you could get stuck.

Made for iPhone Duo. Open it and a photo fills the display, with its words and voice notes a tap away. The Journal shows your entries beside the one you opened, Growing up shows two months at once, and Tonight stands on the table with the controls in front of you. Both parents in one world. When the other parent joins, they step straight into your child's world with your Growing up months and photos, and their own photos join as they are sorted. Each phone learns faces from the other's answers, and a month's photo you change shows on both phones. Grandparents and family members you invite now see your children's photos as you do. Growing up fills every month it can, with smiling photos first. When the app isn't sure a photo is your child, it asks with one tap, and Check months answers them all on one screen. Find more of your child as a newborn helps the app learn their first weeks. Firsts wait until your child's early months have been checked, so a first smile is the real first one. Settings shows how far your photos have been checked. Also smoother scrolling, a scrubber to jump through All photos, pinch to zoom the grid, better space covers you can move and scale, new widgets, and many fixes.
