Baby name app won't link with your partner?

Short answer: most swipe-and-match apps need both partners' accounts to sync through a server. When sign-in, versions or sync break, you see "couldn't link with partner" or no matches. Matching with a code you share yourself avoids the problem.

Common reasons linking fails

• One partner signed in with a different account or email.
• The apps are on different versions.
• The sync server is slow or down, so matches never show.
• A premium feature is required to see matches.

Quick fixes to try

• Update both apps and sign out and back in.
• Check that both of you use the same invite code or email.

Matching without an account

In Namepair, each of you swipes on your own phone, sends a short code in any messenger, and pastes the other's code. There is no account to link and nothing to sync, so matches appear right away, even offline.

Why does partner linking fail?

Linking usually depends on both accounts, the same app version and a working sync server. If any of those break, matches don't appear.

Is my list sent to a server with a code?

With Namepair, the code is text you share yourself in a messenger; picking and matching work offline.

Do we both need the app?

Yes, each of you swipes on your own phone, then you swap codes.
