Frequently Asked Questions about Merge Dragons! Settings
1. How do I reset my Merge Dragons game completely?
If you wish to completely restart your game, removing all your progress and data, navigate to Game Settings and scroll down. At the bottom left corner, you’ll find the “Privacy Settings” tab. Click on it, and then choose the “Delete My Data” option. Be warned, this action is irreversible.
2. How do I sync Merge Dragons on multiple devices?
To sync your game progress across multiple devices, use the Cloud Save feature. When logging in from a new device, the game will detect your old save, and it should prompt you if you want to restore your data from the cloud to overwrite any progress you made on the new device.
3. What happens if Cloud Save fails?
Unfortunately, Cloud Save in Merge Dragons! has been unreliable since October 2022. For now, it’s recommended to use the game’s Facebook or Apple ID login features as additional back up and be very mindful when you switch devices, being sure to have a stable internet connection before switching and be very careful when it offers to upload, as it may overwrite your progress if there is an issue with the cloud save.
4. Can I sync my progress using Google Drive or iCloud?
While cloud services like Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, and OneDrive can be used to synchronize various files on your device, Merge Dragons! primarily relies on its in-game Cloud Save, Facebook or Apple ID features for synchronization. The files you may see backed up in these cloud services are not useable for restoring your game, unless you use those as cloud back up for your whole device.
5. Why can’t I access my old game save after switching devices?
If you have trouble accessing your old save, ensure you have a stable internet connection, and that your Cloud Save is linked to either Facebook or Apple ID. If issues persist, it is recommended to contact the support team through the Help and Support section within the settings menu.
6. Is there a way to manually back up my game data?
Unfortunately, Merge Dragons! does not offer a manual method to back up your game data, apart from the Cloud Save function in the settings menu, and the back up on device option that your phone may already be set to.
7. How often does Merge Dragons save my data?
The game automatically saves and uploads data to the cloud each time you enter or exit a level, or when you suspend your game.
8. Where do I find the option to change the game language?

You can adjust for battery life, or for performance. These can be used to improve your gameplay experience on devices that are older or don’t run the game smoothly, or you can max the graphics on devices where the phone or tablet can handle it.

To safeguard your progress, make sure you are using a Cloud Save account and that you regularly make sure that it’s connected.
