The transition from one mobile platform to another is often accompanied by the fear of losing achievements in your favorite games. In the case of the popular shooter Brawl Stars from the company Supercell this problem is solved quite simply, but requires care at the preparation stage. The developers have implemented a unified account system that allows you to synchronize progress between operating systems Android and iOS.

Many users make the mistake of starting to play on a new device before completing the setup on the old one. This may result in the creation of a duplicate account, which will block the ability to restore old progress. To avoid losing fighters, skins and cups, you must strictly follow the algorithm of actions described below.
In this article we will analyze in detail each stage of migrating your game profile.

Preparing an old Android device
The first and most critical step is to check the current status of your account on the device running the operating system Android. Make sure the game is updated to the latest version through the store Google Play. An outdated client may contain errors that will prevent the verification code from being sent to your email correctly. Go to the game settings by clicking on the gear in the upper right corner of the main screen.
In the settings menu you will see a button labeled Connect or Connect. Click on it. The system will offer several options for saving progress, including Google Play Games and Supercell ID. For cross-platform transfer between Android and iPhone use Google Play is not suitable, since this service does not work on devices Apple. You need to select the option Supercell ID.
If you have not previously registered this service, the system will ask you to enter a valid email address. Enter it carefully, as the access code will be sent to this mailbox. After entering the address, a message will appear on the screen indicating that the code has been sent. Do not close the game, go to your email client and copy the six-digit code from the letter from Supercell.
⚠️ Attention: Never share the code from the letter with strangers. Support staff Supercell never ask for this code. If someone asks you for it in the game chat or on social networks, these are scammers trying to steal your account.
Return to the game and enter the received code in the appropriate field. After successful verification, you will see a notification that your account is connected. Now your progress is strictly tied to the specified email address. This means that you can log into the game from any device in the world using these credentials, regardless of the operating system.

Make sure you are using the same account region Apple IDas previously, although in most cases the game is available globally. After installation, launch the application.
When you first launch the game, it will automatically create a new, empty account and offer to complete the training level. Do not rush undergo training and develop a new fighter. If you start playing on this profile, it will remove the ability to easily restore old progress. You need to immediately go to the settings menu by clicking on the gear icon.
In the settings section, find the red button Connect. Unlike Android, there will be no option with Google Play. Select option Supercell ID. The system will prompt you to enter the email address that you used on the device Android. Enter it and click the send request button.
You will again receive an email with a confirmation code. Enter this code into the game at iPhone. After this, an important warning will appear on the screen that the current progress (empty account) will be replaced with the progress associated with this ID. Confirm the action by pressing the button OK or Confirm. The game will reboot and you will see your old profile with all fighters and resources.
If the email with the code does not arrive within 5 minutes, check the Spam or Promotions folder in your mailbox. Often automatic letters from games end up there.
Features of currency and purchases
One of the most painful issues when switching between platforms concerns game currency. There are two types of premium currency: gems and gold tokens (the names may change depending on updates, but the essence remains the same). It is important to understand how the company's policy Brawl Stars There are two types of premium currency: gems and gold tokens (depending on updates, the names may change, but the essence remains the same). It is important to understand how company policies work Supercell works regarding paid content when changing the operating system.
Unfortunately, the balance of paid resources not transferred between Android and iOS. This limitation is due to the rules of app stores Google Play and App Store, which do not allow the transfer of financial assets between their ecosystems. If you have unspent gems purchased for real money on your account Android they will remain available only when logging in from your device Android.
However, all items that you have already purchased for these gems (skins, battle passes, sets) will be saved and will be available on iPhone. That is, if you bought a skin on Android, you will keep it. If you simply accumulated gems but did not spend them, you will see a zero balance on your iPhone. You can spend them only by returning to the device with Android.
| Resource type | Transferred to iOS? | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Fighters and skins | Yes | Full synchronization |
| Cups and experience | Yes | Progress is saved |
| Gems (purchased) | No | Remain on the purchase platform |
| Coins and power points | Yes | Game currency is synchronized |
It is worth noting that free gems obtained from the battle pass or events are also subject to this rule. They are tied to the platform on which they were received. This is a technical limitation that cannot be circumvented using legal methods. Plan your purchases taking into account the possible transition, trying to spend the currency before changing the device.
Solving problems with logging into Supercell ID
Despite the simplicity of the procedure, users sometimes encounter technical glitches. The most common problem is that the button Connect is inactive or gray. This often happens if you have already started training on a new device and the game considers this account active. In this case, the system blocks the ability to replace the profile to protect against accidental errors.
If you find yourself in this situation, the solution requires resetting the progress on the new device. Go to the game settings at iPhone, scroll down to the button Delete account or Delete Account. Confirm deletion. The game will restart, and you can start the connection process Supercell ID again without going through the tutorial. This will only delete the local empty profile, your main account will remain safe on the servers.
Another common problem is an error when entering the code. Make sure you're entering the code from the same device you requested it from, or that the code hasn't expired. Codes are valid for a limited time. If you have requested several codes in a row, use only the most recent one, as the previous ones are canceled by the security system.
⚠️ Attention: If you enter the wrong code more than 5 times in a row, the system may temporarily block the ability to log in for this email address. In this case, you must wait 24 hours before trying again.
It is also worth checking the date and time settings on your iPhone. If the time is incorrect or the manual mode is set with incorrect parameters, the connection to the authentication servers may not succeed. Set the value Automatic in your device's date and time settings.
Account security after transfer
After successfully transferring your profile to a new device, it is extremely important to ensure its security. Since your account is now available on iOS, make sure that the device itself is protected with a strong password or biometrics (Face ID / Touch ID). Access to the phone means access to the game, unless additional ones are configured.
It is recommended to enable two-factor authentication for yourself Supercell IDif such an option is available in the security settings on the developer's website. This will add an additional layer of security when logging in from unfamiliar devices. Also, never use the same password for game mail and other services.

To do this, go to the game settings on your old phone and click the button Log out next to your email address. This will prevent unauthorized access to your progress from your previous device.

If access to mail is lost, restoring it through support will be extremely difficult and will require many receipts for purchases.
