Why do I not get the extra lives my friends send?

My extra lives show 2 from friends, but when I try to collect them I only get one of the lives. Is anyone else having this issue?

✅ 1. Daily/Maximum Life Limit

Most games cap the number of lives you can collect per day or at once. For example:

• You might only be able to receive 1 life at a time, even if more are visible.
• Some games only allow you to store a max of 5 lives—anything beyond that is wasted or delayed.

✅ 2. Server Delay or Sync Issues

Sometimes the game doesn’t sync properly with the server:

• You see “2 lives from friends,” but only 1 is actually ready to collect.
• The second life might show up later, after a refresh or restart.

✅ 3. Expired or Overwritten Lives

In some games:

• If multiple people send you lives and you don’t collect them quickly, only the latest one is saved.
• Some lives may expire after a certain time (e.g., 24 hours).

✅ 4. Display Bug

It’s also possible that:

• The game shows 2 lives, but that’s a visual bug—you were only ever sent one.

✅ 5. App Needs Update

Outdated versions of the app can lead to bugs with social features.

• Make sure your game is fully updated via the App Store or Google Play.
