Why can't I turn off the suggested moves in candy crush ?

I want to be able to turn off the flashing suggested moves in candy crush. What is a game if you can't work it out yourself. Its is extremely annoying and an insult to peoples intelligence.

I feel the same

@Lo_0u This is an old post you can disable hints by going to the config wheel and selecting features then you can disable hints

Hope this helps

I agree, an option to turn hints off would be amazing. I have never and have no intention on ever spending $$ purchasing items in candy crush, but the hints bother me so much I'd pay to have them removed.

Please change this! My mom and I both play and hate the suggested moves!!!!

Yes!!! The hints appearing after 2 seconds are so annoying. I love the game but with the hints so quickly the game stopped being challenging and fun!

I also think the hints are very distracting. I really wish there were an option to turn them off! They're very annoying, it feels like an endless tutorial

Going with the crowd on this one. The hints are so distracting and annoying! I’m done with it. Sorry, King, but you’re really turning off a lot of players.

I agree .... it is so distracting... now thinking of ditching the game, which is a shame because I enjoy it. The flashing hints are immediate. Didn't use to be. Drives me mad

Count me in! I would love an option to turn off flashing hints. I usually try to ignore them but not so easy.

This is so annoying! At one time I was able to disable the hint, now they come up instantly. It’s so distracting. Also, I’ve tried playing only the hints and I still lose the level, so what is the purpose of them? My daughter and I compete against each other but if this doesn’t change will have to delete.

Ageed, as Kevbob54321 says, may as well be watching someone else play the game

Add me to the list of people who hate the flashing hints. I’ve completed more than 3000 levels and think by now I can figure out in my own which moves to make. If anything, make it so the hints start after a minute of inactivity or something, not within 2 seconds of the last move 🙄

Here in the community we care a lot about the thoughts of our players, there are many changes in our games that have come directly based on feedback given here

Although we cannot always promise that these changes will happen, we always pass feedback on and listen to voice our players.

It seems you just get these agree with you, we'll pass it on, but nothing is actually going to happen, replies. Meanwhile you are so frustrated you want to scream. Give people a choice to have the suggested moves or not. It's almost like it is a dumbing down social experiment to make people complacent and just follow blindly........I want to scream !!!!!!

Thanks everyone!
I am sorry that the hints are not popular with everyone, we will be passing these comments on :-)

Have a sweet day!

I just got a 2 comments badge. Thanks so much to the people at King, I'm so pleased that I've decided to award you with a "horrible game because there's no option to disable hints" badge. You can level up this badge by disabling the players ability to choose their moves at all, and instead just make us all watch you guys play. 😉

Way to destroy an otherwise decent game with such a simply corrected issue.

I agree, was planning to play this game but cannot stand the flashing suggestion. It's like a game tutorial that never ends. Is there a game here? Or am I just being taught literally the simplest concept over and over as if my memory span is 3 seconds? I can't tell.

It seems to me that seeing a suggested movement is part of the game. Sometimes, even though I do not want to use the suggested movement, there is no other option. and personally I do not think they take it away or give you the option to block it. As I said before, it's part of the game and so effective that it makes you suffer. Greetings.

I agree with Jacque. I’m so fed up with the hints. I want to be able to play the game using my own brain! There should be an option to turn this off (I’m sure there used to be!) I think this will put people off candy crush. I used to love playing this but the hinting is so annoying I think I might delete the game... 😢
