If I stick with my device, I donβt have to do anything β correct?
Yes, correct.
If you continue playing on the same device and platform, no action is required.
If I switch between my iPad and iPhone as before, do I have to do anything?
No.
As long as both devices use the same Apple ID / Game Center account, your progress will continue to sync automatically.
Do I have to share my Apple account to download the game on Android?
It depends on what you want to do.
For normal play: No. Apple Game Center and Android are separate platforms. You cannot use an Apple account to play on Android.
For a one-time platform transfer (when the feature is available): Your Apple ID is used only as a secure carrier to move your progress once to Android.After the transfer, the progress will be linked to Google Play Games.
This does not enable playing on both platforms at the same time, and it does not sync progress continuously.
Short Summary
Same device β nothing to do
iPhone β iPad (same Apple ID) β nothing to do
iOS β Android β one-time transfer only (when available)
All of my progress is on my Android account and I also have an Apple account on my Phone. Would it be possible to also have my progress on my apple account and my Android account at the same time? I would like to play on both my Android tablet and my IPhone but with the same progress. Itβs probably me just being an idiot but I just donβt really understand the guide above and was just wondering if I could have the same progress on my IPhone and my Tablet.
If so, what steps do I take? , and if I do some progress on my IPhone for example, would the data transfer over to my Tablet?
Calling this βcross platform profile supportβ in the release notes (at least on iOS) seems to be high risk of confusion, as this would probably imply for a lot of people that youβve added a way to sync progress over both platforms (e.g. being able to play the same WoA profile on an iOS tablet and an Android phone). Frankly, I donβt think Iβll be alone in saying that was kind of what we were expecting/hoping for.
Instead, we appear to have got a one-time profile migration (as you call it here), with permanent consequences of locking out your original Apple/Google account from ever being able to migrate back.
This function allows you to move your progress from one platform to another in case you switch devices (for example, from Android to iOS or vice versa). Until now, players had to start from the beginning when changing platforms. In some cases, we performed manual transfers, but this required significant effort on our side.
Please note that this feature is not intended for playing on both platforms simultaneously. A profile can be actively linked to either Google Play Games or Apple Game Center at a time, not both.
