Your smartphone is probably the main way you play most games, even if you have a console at home. It’s all too easy to load up a quick run while on the bus or headed home on a road trip, or even just while lounging around the house. While there’s plenty of deep RPGs and action games that can provide tons of experience when playing, most people focus their mobile energies on games that require a little less attention.

Wildly popular, Candy Crush is one of the most famous mobile games ever launched. The game is immensely successful and profitable, supplying gamers with a great time waster wherever they are. There are thousands of levels for you to crush and countless rewards and gold bars to collect. But what to do when you buy a new phone?

Luckily, saving your progress and continuing on the new phone is very simple. Let’s take a look at how to transfer your save data to your new device.

Via Facebook and Kingdom

This is the official method for moving your progress from one phone to another. In order for it to work, you will have to have a registered account on King.com or have an active Candy Crush account on Facebook.

This method works for both iOS and Android devices and doesn’t involve installing third-party apps or using your PC or Mac, so anyone should be able to load up their

1. Launch Candy Crush on your old phone.
2. Back up your game progress and connect to either Kingdom or Facebook. This way, you’ll synchronize your progress with the game servers.
3. Install Candy Crush on the new phone. iPhone and iPad users download from the App Store. Android users, install from Google Play.
4. Launch the game on the new device.
5. Connect to your king.com or Facebook account.

Along with your level progress, all your gold bars should be transferred to your new phone. They are regularly synched with the game servers and are available across your devices. If you don’t see your gold bars on the new phone, be sure to contact the developer here.

This method does not allow you to transfer your extra moves, extra lives, and boosters to your new devices because they are not synced with the game servers. Instead, they are stored locally on your phone. If you still have access to the old phone, you can play Candy Crush on it and use up all the saved boosters and extra moves.

What Happens When You Get a New Facebook Account?

The more common way of saving mobile game progress is using your Facebook account. It’s the most simple way to save progress because all you need to do is sign in to your existing Facebook account and allow Candy Crush access. If you’ve changed your Facebook account, or you no longer have it, all hope isn’t lost.

Fortunately, the Candy Crush support team can add your progress back manually according to king.com. All you need to do is fill out the help form to begin the process. For those who are thinking about deleting your account, it’s probably a good idea to take some screenshots of your game progress to use as proof just in case there’s a dispute.

1. Open Candy Crush and login with your new Facebook account or King account.
2. Tap the settings cog in the lower left-hand corner.
3. Tap the ‘?’ located in the lower portion of the pop-up menu.
4. Choose a topic or type one in the search bar.
5. Proceed to send an email to Candy Crush Support.

Assuming you still have some information about your old account it shouldn’t be an issue to get your progress back but it may take some time.
