Lynette, that was a good thought but for info, it doesn’t work that way. You would have to start all over after you delete the app. I’m not interested in stating all over again. The same happens if you change your iPhone for a Samsung brand you will loose all your game progress. Beware!!
@Tely61, there is no need to Beware!! That is not how it works. King games are made so that if you have played via Facebook or King (ie signed into the game) your progress and any gold bars you have is saved by them. Only your boosters and the number of lives you have are device specific.
This way we can play on any device. People get new phones all the time, reload the game, reconnect with Facebook or King and continue from where they left off. Many of us play on computer and on phone, or tablet or all three!
I have one facebook friend who frequently gets so frustrated he completely deletes the app from all his devices...then after a break, decides to play again, reinstalls and is back where he was
And, if you've reinstalled, but for some reason your progress is lost (may be you forgot to sign in) the support staff at the link below are always very helpful with fixing players games by restoring them to the Level they were previously at!
I just lately reinstalled Candy crush on an android phone when I last used it on an iphone probably 4 iphones ago and because i logged in through Facebook, all progress is still there. Its a shame to lose something without knowing the facts just because you think you know the answer
