Sometimes, your family's devices get accidentally split up in your Bark parent app / dashboard.
Here's an example where Bark detected the device through the app and through the Bark Home but didn't merge them:
Example on New UI
Example on Classic UI
Fix that with these steps!
Merge devices on New UI
- Open up your parent app / dashboard.
- Tap the child or home profile.
- Tap Devices at the top.
- Tap the device that needs to be merged.
- Tap Merge with duplicate.
- On the next page, select the device(s) you'd like to merge.
⚠ Getting an error? It likely means the device was already merged. Verify whether that's the case by seeing if you can "split up" the device! - That's it! You should now see the devices got merged.
Merge devices on Classic UI
Devices under child profiles
These are the kids you've added to Bark. They have a Screen Time tile under their name in your parent app / dashboard.
Merge devices under a child profile
- Open up your parent app / dashboard.
- Tap your kid's avatar at the top.
- Tap Screen Time.
- Tap the Devices tab at the top.
- Tap the device that needs to be merged.
- Tap the 💬 icon on the top right and select Merge with duplicate.
- On the next page, select the device(s) you'd like to merge.
