How do I backup current level of play on this phone so I can transfer it over to my new phone

Be sure you have saved your game on your old device! If you follow the steps in the link you find your progress! Follow the steps like it is described, Facebook or King account!

Hello @bluxbacher Hearty Welcome to our wonderful King Community 🤗

When changing our devices, we just have to make sure that our game is already saved on the old device either through Facebook OR Kingdom account. And once we do that, when we download the game onto a new device - we simply log-in with the same account details we have used before on the old device, and we can continue from where we left off on our old device.

Since you have logged into the game, it will be saved automatically from now on, and we do not have to worry about it.

It is the same even if you have not used a mobile device but only played on a Laptop and downloading the game on to your phone. "Saving our game" is the Key here.

But, please be aware that, only your level progress and the Gold Bars will be transferred as they both are stored to the game. But, none of your boosters will be sent over to the new device... Both Pre-game boosters, like Color Bombs, Coloring Candy, etc., OR the in-game boosters - the Lollipop Hammers and the Hand boosters, will not be transferred.

This is because, our boosters are stored on device local memory but not to the game. You will have to build up on those boosters again on your new device.

But, if you have not deleted the game from your old device, the boosters are still available there and you can still use them up by playing "hard" levels.

Thank you for posting in the Community! Have a Sodalicious day and a great rest of the weekend 🍬 🍬
