We warmly welcome you to the Friendly King Community's Candy Crush Saga forum.🤗
Lives from friends are stored in your device memory. If you play games offline, they will not decrease or increase. On the other hand, if you play the game online(connected with facebook), the live will continue to sync. That is why lives can increase or decrease. Don't forget that you can always request plenty more lives at any time from your friends!
I hope I was able to provide some clarity for you, and if there is any other question or concern that I could assist you with, please do not hesitate to reach back out to me!
Have a good day.🙏
