Baby Connect's interface hasn't changed much in years and every entry is a multi-step tap. New Baby compresses the same entry into one spoken sentence.
Baby Connect feels like the early-2010s app it is. New Baby is built for modern iOS — calm pastels, Live Activities, Lock Screen widgets that work in the dark.
