In Candy Crush lives are at a premium and losing all your lives means, a frustrating wait for the clock to continue the game. Fortunately there is a simple hack to recover your lives so that you can continue playing unlimited hours of your favourite game.
Here is how to recover your lives in Candy Crush:
- Close the Candy Crush app
- Go to Settings on your phone/tablet
- Scroll down to Date & Time (On iPhone/iPad goto General -> Date And Time)
- Uncheck Automatic Date & Time and Automatic Time Zone (On iPhone/iPad Toggle the Set Automatic option)
- Press Set Time (in iPhone/iPad press the displayed time) and move the time forward by a few(atleast 3-4) of hours
- Now reopen Candy Crush
- You should have your lives back. If only a few of the lives were returned, repeat steps 1-7 adding a few more hours to the time. Make sure there is no countdown next to the lives or this hack will not work.
- Once the full lives have been confirmed returned. Close the app and Repeat steps 1-3
- Recheck Automatic Date & Time and Automatic TimeZone or manually update the time to the correct time (in iPhone/iPad toggle Set Automatic option or manually set the correct time by pressing on the displayed time)
- Reopen Candy Crush and you should be able to play with your new lives.
