How to Bypass Countdown and Get New Lives & Levels on Candy Crush Saga (iOS Hack)

Candy Crush Saga offers gamers five lives per session, after which they’d have to wait for some time before getting another set of lifelines.

However, the wait often looks endless and annoying. Hence, to get you back on the spot, this tutorial will show you how to bypass the time countdown/waiting period to get new lives, as well as how to bypass the one-day waiting period to access Mystery Quest levels on iOS smartphones/tablets.

How to Bypass the Waiting Period to Get New Lives

Follow the steps below to get new lives immediately and start playing your game, after exhausting the 5-set lifelines on Candy Crush Saga:

  • Exhaust all five lives and close Candy Crush.
  • Navigate to Settings on your device.
  • Locate and click on General > Date & Time.
  • Locate Set Automatically and disable the option.
  • Click on the date (current).
  • Reset date/time; preferably one day ahead (4 hours should be enough).
  • Apply changes and exit Settings.
  • Launch Candy Crush Saga
  • Check for new lives: you should have 5 new lives.
  • Hold on; don’t rush to play.
  • Navigate back to Settings > Date & Time.
  • Reset the time back to automatic: enable Set Automatically.
  • Exit Settings and relaunch Candy Crush Saga.
  • Enjoy your new lives.

To play continuously, simply repeat this procedure after exhausting each set of five lives.

Also, to bypass the one-day waiting period and gain immediate access to the Mystery Quest levels, simply follow the above outlined steps, and you are all good!

So, what would happen if I start playing right away?

As pointed out earlier, erring gamers/players (with itchy fingers), who start playing the game immediately (without setting the time back to automatic), would be faced with a longer waiting period, after exhausting the new set of lifelines.

To resolve this, once you see the pop up message with the waiting time (in minutes), simply navigate to your device’s “Settings” and set the time forward (hours or days beyond the stipulated waiting period).

For instance, if the stipulated waiting period reads “5760” (4 days), you can reset your phone’s date & time to 5 days ahead. Subsequently, confirm new lives/levels and reset time to automatic. You can then enjoy your game unhindered.

Fix: Can’t Update or Play Clash Royale

Can’t update or play Clash Royale on your Android or iOS smartphone/tablet? We’ll show you a workaround in this tutorial.

As gathered from gamers’ reviews on notable gaming sites and forums, Clash Royale no longer updates on some phones, and at times, when it does, it won’t load.

To resolve this issue, follow through this tutorial.

Fix: Can’t Update or Play Clash Royale

Clash Royale’s franchise, Supercell, released the latest update of the game in June last year (2018). Since then, there have been complaints from several quarters regarding the new update. In some cases, gamers reported that they are unable to update or install the latest version of the game on their phones. And in other cases, the game simply fails to load after an update.

This issue, unfortunately, has no known fix, as it is not an error, but a compatibility issue between the hosting smartphone and the new update. And according to Supercell (Clash Royale developer), support is being withdrawn for old Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.

Therefore, the new update of the game is best deployed on Android Marshmallow (Android 6.0) and above (for Android users). This means that, Android 4.0 (KitKat) and older are no longer supported by the game. Hence, users on such versions are restricted from enjoying the new update.

In the same vein, for iOS users, the game is best suited for newer versions, from iOS 10 upwards. Hence, iPhones and iPads running on iOS 8 and older are no longer compatible with Clash Royale (the new update).

However, while you are barred from updating or playing the new updated Clash Royale, you can still access the previous update for the time being.

So, what is the ultimate solution?

Update Android or iOS Smartphone

As pointed out earlier, this is not a bug or error of any sort, but rather a compatibility issue. Typically, your smartphone’s software engine is deemed too old to provide the requisite support for the updated version of the game.

Ultimately, however, you would have to upgrade your smartphone’s OS to a newer version or if you have the resources, simply acquire a new – improved – smartphone (preferably with a minimum OS of Android 7.0 or iOS 10). This way, you are guaranteed unrestrained access to enjoy your favorite game.
