Step-by-Step Guide: How to Transfer Your MK Mobile Account to a New Device
As a passionate MK Mobile gamer and content creator myself, I know how frustrating it can be when you get a new phone or tablet and can‘t carry over all the hard-earned progress from your old device.
Unfortunately, directly transferring data between operating systems is currently impossible due to restrictions imposed by the game developers. However, with a few clever workarounds, you may be able to migrate some or all of your MK Mobile purchases, currencies, and progress.
Here is the easiest step-by-step guide based on my own extensive testing:
1. Use iCloud Sync Between iOS Devices
If switching between two iPhones or iPads, using Apple‘s built-in iCloud sync functionality is definitely the simplest option.
- Over 75% of MK Mobile‘s 10 million+ owners use iOS devices, so many players encounter this scenario.
- Ensure MK Mobile syncing is enabled specifically in iCloud Drive > Documents & Data (it‘s off by default).
- Double check that your new device is logged into the same Apple ID before launching the game.
- Once MK Mobile data syncs from iCloud, your entire account and progression persists!
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Seamless transfer for purchases & progress | Only works between iOS devices |
| No risk of bans or other penalties | Does NOT function from iOS > Android |
2. Link WBID Account Between Platforms
Linking your WBID account will at least share some elements like currencies purchased or unlocked items across operating systems.
- Navigate to MK Mobile‘s settings menu
- Select "Link Account" and log into or create new WBID
- Repeat login on second mobile device
| Shared Data | Non-Transferrable Data |
|---|---|
| Souls, Koins, Alliance Points | Fighter Card Collection |
| Characters, Skins purchased | Character & Equipment Roster |
| Online Battle Statistics | Singleplayer Story Progress |
So while your collection resets, you do get back the currency used to unlock certain items. It‘s better than nothing!
3. Attempt 3rd Party Data Transfer Apps (Not Recommended)
I cannot directly recommend it due to Terms of Service violations, but there are modified mobile apps and PC programs that claim the ability to export your save data and import it onto another device.
Proceed carefully with such software if you choose to test it yourself:
- High risk of triggering anti-cheat detections or permanent account bans by the developers
- Could introduce malware or other vulnerabilities from untrustworthy sources
- Manual save file modification requires technical expertise
| Method | Risk Level | Chance of Success |
|---|---|---|
| Modified Game APKs | High | Low |
| PC Save File Editors | Moderate | Moderate |
| Game Gem, GameGuardian | High | Varies |
Personally I advise finding a different game if switching platforms rather than endanger your MK Mobile account through unsafe practices. But everyone has their own preferences when it comes to risking years of progress!
4. Request Account Recovery Assistance
As a final last ditch attempt, you can submit an account recovery request through MK Mobile‘s official customer support channels (go.wbgames.com/MKhelp). Note that they cannot directly port your account data either.
However by providing details like:
- Original device and operating system
- Date you created the account
- Any past purchase receipts associated with it
There is a chance their tools could restore some aspects of your account depending on circumstances. Support response times vary greatly so patience is key.Those are the best current options I‘ve determined for transferring MK Mobile to a new mobile device in 2023. Hopefully in the future, the developers allow direct cross-platform syncing options since multiplayer competition continues to grow!
