Nope! No worries here, widget babies are quite hearty and literally indestructible.

A widget baby is a cute, fictional, digital, and virtual baby companion. Widget babies are not real or human in any forms, and shouldn’t be compared directly. Instead, widget babies and are quite unique in their own ways. Your widget baby’s intelligence, sense of adventure, and independence may often surprise you. Don’t worry though, a widget baby will need quite a bit of TLC too!

Widget babies are the perfect, adorable, and entertaining addition to your home screen as a widget and on your Apple watch.

Hm. Never thought you’d ask! We’ll since widget babies are not real babies of course, they must have teleported here from the digital universe…..don’t worry, we’re still trying to wrap our heads around this too 😉

In all seriousness though, widget babies are brought to life behind the scenes in WidgetBaby! with some creativity and code, while the artwork and images representing the babies are used under paid license from Shutterstock.com.

Ok, it happens to the best of us. No worries though, your widget baby will always get better soon with some care and time.

Pro Tip: If you have any medicine available in your widget baby supply backpack, this can make your baby better right away.

You can find your widget baby’s supply backpack under the more options menu (three blue dots in upper left corner). It’s the red backpack icon.

A checkup provides your widget baby with health and immunity so they will be safe from getting sick for a period of time. Checkups are found in the supplies backpack. To check if your baby is protected/immune currently, you can always tap on the red heart icon below your baby in the main app to see its current health stats.

Yes, usually you can and your widget baby should be stored in your iCloud linked to your Apple ID. However this ultimately depends on if you’ve appropriately enabled iCloud and permissions for WidgetBaby!

If you are just recently enabling iCloud make sure to use the WidgetBaby! app for a bit after on your device so things can sync before looking for your baby(ies) on your other device(s), etc.
