Start by comparing guesses on the couch
Before you scroll through camera rolls, compare what each of you pictures. You can use the five-question quiz on our homepage as a conversation starter: whose eyes and smile come to mind, who the baby takes after, and what personality you imagine.
Talking through your picks sets a lighthearted tone before you open the iPhone app, AI Baby Generator: Face Maker, to create a visual portrait from two parent photos.

Pick each partner's photo with mutual permission
Always choose photos together or ask your partner to pick their own favorite shot rather than uploading a picture of someone without asking. Making photo selection a shared step ensures both of you feel comfortable with the images being used.
Pick everyday photos where you can see each face clearly. Even lighting and an unobstructed face are useful visual checks when browsing your camera roll, but they do not guarantee a particular result.
Compare the portrait with your own childhood photos
Once you generate a baby portrait and try the trait adjustment options in the iPhone app, treat the result as a playful prompt for conversation rather than a test of whose genes will win:
- "Which expression or feature—like the cheeks, grin, or eyes—reminds you most of one of us?"
- "Does this portrait look anything like our own baby pictures, or did the app invent a brand-new look?"
- "When we change the trait adjustments in the app, which version matches the personality we pictured during the quiz?"
Agree before sending portraits to family group chats
After saving a portrait to Apple Photos, you can share it through Messages, Mail, or AirDrop. Before sending, use the sharing options available on your iPhone to review what information accompanies the picture.
Because relatives can easily mistake an unexpected baby picture for pregnancy news, get a thumbs-up from your partner before sharing it outside the two of you. Adding a quick caption that you were playing with an AI baby app keeps the joke clear for grandparents and friends.
