    I'm thinking the same. My hints starts after 2 seconds, I kid you not. Nobody thinks 2 seconds is a long enough time to think about a move, let alone that I would be thinking "can someone please show me a move" after 2 seconds. They do it just to stress and push us players, not to help us

    And stress and push it does, but I whole-heartedly hope they add the option to remove it considering they have other accessibility options. I would very much consider being able to turn this OFF an accessibility option, and one I'd much appreciateโ€ฆ

    I guess I'm glad to know it's not just me. The hints are instantaneous and constant. It makes me want to throw my phone against the wall. Call me hardheaded if you want to, but there have been several occasions that I've lost levels simply because I hate choosing the move that the system 'hints' for you to do haha. But 80% of the time the hints suck regardless. For a game that's been around such a long time it's ridiculous that they haven't gotten rid of these yet- or at least made them an optional feature. If I can turn off flashing game effects, I should be able to turn off the constantly flashing oh-so-unhelpful hints.

    I don't understand why they don't have the ability to add the hint toggle button. They already have it in Candy Crush, so the infrastructure is there. Also, let's set up another vote for King. the link to vote is from 2020

    This is ridiculous. Why are there options available in one version of Candy Crush, but the same option unavailable in other versions??!! This has got to be the stupidest thing. I don't want, nor do I need, friggin' hints and the ability to toggle it off should be in the game like it is in the original. And we shouldn't have to vote on it either. JUST MAKE IT OPTIONAL FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. Doesn't have to be gotten rid of entirely for those that want to use it, I mean give me a break!!

    It's been four years since this thread was active.

    I believe the studio prioritizes fulfilling players' desires and navigating the complexities of handling multiple requests, knowing it's impossible to please everyone.๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จโ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‡

    The studio's commitment to player satisfaction throughout the years is truly noteworthy.
    Because of there adaptability and dedication, you are able to use this platform to complain about the very people making all this possible.
    Just some insightful points to ponder.

    Remember to be sweet and kind, House Rules. Happy crushing wherever you decide to play. ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿ™ƒโœจ

    Thank you for the response here @Ibnana !

    This feature has now been implemented into the iOS version of Soda via the Accessibility settings that you can read more about in this thread: ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ Celebrate the Global Accessibility Awareness Day with Soda!

    The feature is also planned for other platforms and will arrive shortly, so with that I'll add the status of this thread to ones that have been implemented!

    And when are the rest of the platforms due? Respectfully, the problem is not fixed when the majority of players do not have access to the feature. Remember to be sweet and kind yourself, gaslighting the way you do it is not sweet:)

    Hi there! Originally the accessibility options were to be released on both iOS & Android, but unfortunately something went wrong and there were a few problems implementing this on Android. Rest assured though that these are still on it's way and they are slowly getting rolled out (some have them right now!).

    Once Android has stabilised then the studio will look to add them to Windows as well!

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
