Ok, got it! My game did sync. I just can't totally eliminate or delete my Facebook account. Only log off or deactivate to keep my game progress on my app.
@Werner_Cichy and @MountainMom, I have two separate accounts. 1-my Facebook account. 2-my King account. I eventually want to detach myself from Facebook but don't want to lose my progress in Candy Crush. I don't even want to have the same email used when logging into Facebook.
