Stay Little for iPhone
Write to hridyaagrawal4@gmail.com. Include your iPhone model, your iOS version and what you saw. We answer within two working days.
Starting
Which iPhone does Stay Little need?
Stay Little needs an iPhone with iOS 26 or later.
Why does Stay Little ask for my photos?
Stay Little reads your photo library to find the best photos of your family. The analysis runs on your iPhone. Choose "Allow Full Access" for the best result. If you choose "Limit Access", Stay Little sees only the photos that you select.
I refused photo access. How do I change it?
Open the Settings app on your iPhone, then Apps, then Stay Little, then Photos. Choose "Full Access". Then open Stay Little again.
How long does the first scan take?
The first photos appear in about a minute. A large library can take an hour or more. Stay Little continues when you leave the app, and it finishes overnight while your iPhone charges.
People
Stay Little does not find my child.
Face recognition must be on. Open Stay Little, then Settings, then Faces. Then open the Family tab and answer the "Who's this?" questions. Each answer makes the next match better.
Stay Little shows the wrong person in a photo.
Open the Family tab and open that person's page. Touch and hold the wrong photo, then choose "Not" with the person's name. Stay Little learns from each correction.
How do I turn off face recognition?
Open Settings in Stay Little, then Faces, and turn off "Face recognition". Stay Little then deletes all face data and the people it built from that data.
Stories and search
When do I get a story?
Stay Little makes one story of the week and shows it on Sunday morning. A week needs enough good photos to make a story.
Search finds nothing.
Search needs a model that Stay Little downloads once, over Wi-Fi. The download is about 350 MB. Connect to Wi-Fi, keep Stay Little open for a few minutes, then try again.
Sharing
How do I share with my partner?
Open Settings in Stay Little and tap "Invite partner via iCloud". Send the invitation. Your partner needs Stay Little and an iCloud account. After your partner accepts, each of you receives the other's best family photos.
How do grandparents see the photos?
Open Settings in Stay Little and tap "Invite grandparents and family". Each person you invite needs Stay Little and an iCloud account. They see the best photos of each week and cannot change anything.
How do I stop sharing?
Open Settings in Stay Little and tap "Stop sharing with partner" or "Stop sharing with family". Family members then lose access to the shared photos.
Sharing shows an iCloud error.
Sign in to iCloud in the Settings app on your iPhone, and turn on iCloud Drive. Then try again.
Your data
Does Stay Little upload my photos?
No. Stay Little reads your photos on your iPhone. Photos leave your iPhone only when you share them with family through your own iCloud. See the privacy policy.
How do I delete everything?
Open Settings in Stay Little and tap "Erase all Stay Little data". This does not delete any photo from your library.
Does Stay Little change my photo library?
No. Stay Little does not edit or delete your photos. It adds a photo only when you save one, or when your partner shares one with you.
Growth chart
Where do the growth curves come from?
The curves are the World Health Organization Child Growth Standards for birth to 24 months. Stay Little is not a medical device. Ask your pediatrician about your child's growth.
