# Merlin Bird Onboarding

We document the step-by-step **onboarding** flow from **Merlin Bird**. The flow contains **10 steps** and was updated in **February 2026**. We show 5 of the 10 captured screens publicly; 5 additional screens are available through [free Lazyweb signup](https://www.lazyweb.com/product).

## Publicly shown screens

The screenshots show these visible onboarding states:

1. Merlin introduces location as important to bird identification, with a **Continue** action.
2. Merlin explains that notifications can alert users to birds nearby, with a **Continue** action.
3. A notification-permission prompt is shown, including **Allow** and **Don’t Allow** choices.
4. Merlin asks the user to allow location access and directs the user to settings; the screen also shows options for identifying birds by sound or photo.
5. An iOS settings screen for Merlin Bird shows permissions including Location, Apple Intelligence & Siri, Search, Notifications, Background App Refresh, and Cellular Data, plus preferred language.
