Wondering whether Apple Photos already finds your child for free? It does, and our how-it-works page starts there. How Our Little World works
A different approach
How Our Little World differs
Two parents, one family space
Invite the other parent, and once you each say yes, your photos of the children join theirs and theirs join yours in one family space.
Month by month
Our Little World lays out each child's life month by month. In a month where you haven't confirmed a face, it shows the app's best photo of your child, marked Picked by the app.
Words alongside photos
Add Firsts, letters for later, and voice notes in your own words.
Family sees what you share
Invited family, like grandparents, see what you share. The Family plan includes two invited family members.
To be fair
Who should stay with Kyn
Stay with Kyn if what you want is your child's photos found and played back as slideshows with little to set up, or if someone in your family uses Android, where Kyn also has an app. Our Little World fits parents who want one baby book for both of them, with Firsts, letters and family around it.
Switching
Moving your photos from Kyn
- Kyn's website and App Store listing don't describe a way to export, and Kyn's terms ask you to back up important data yourself.
- Kyn works from the photos already in your iPhone's library and says they aren't uploaded unless you choose, so the originals should still be in Apple Photos. Check that your child's photos are there before you delete Kyn.
- If you use iCloud Photos and want full-size originals on your iPhone, go to Settings, tap your name, tap iCloud, tap Photos, then iPhone Storage, and choose Download and Keep Originals instead of Optimize Storage.
- Open Our Little World. It looks through your Apple Photos library, finds your child and lays their life out month by month.
Kyn's slideshows won't come across. Our Little World places each photo by the date Apple Photos has for it, so check a few after you start. Steps from Apple's support pages, as of October 2026.
