Candy Crush Facebook Friends Not Showing

[Lavonda Busing]

I am facebook frineswith Nancy Valentino and i want to add her to my candy crush saga friends list so i can send her lives. she doen't pop up in my list. how do i add her to my to my candy crush saga list?

Yes I'm connected to Facebook however I did notice that in apps and websites through Facebook my friends list permission is gone. I'm not sure how toget it back. I'm afraid of deleting candy crush saga from Facebook. I'm afraid I will loose everything.

Hello
Im planning desactuvate my facebook account. Can i still playing candy crush? Im at level 195 and i want continue play that game but im afraid about remove all my activity on candy crush. Thank you.

alternatively you can simply delete the update and then click to block and receive no more candy crush notifications and thus you do not risk offending your friends. its actually quicker and easier to do that than it is for your friends to change their candy crush settings.

I've been playing "Candy Crush" and the spinoff, "Candy Crush Soda Saga," for a few years now. I've generally been able to keep it a secret. I'm not embarrassed about it, per se, but I'm not proud of it either. I'm on level 437 on "Candy Crush" and level 297 on "Candy Crush Soda Saga." I'm great at these games and I play them often. We all have our guilty pleasures, okay? Every night, before I go to sleep, I lie in bed listening to a comedy podcast and playing "Candy Crush." Side note: Yes, I know it's bad to stare at screens before bed. Do as I say, not as I do.

At the time, I didn't realize it had happened, but before I knew it, the texts started pouring in. Not just from friends and family, but from coworkers. Here's a text I got from HuffPost Business editor Alex Kaufman last night:

It's an easy mistake to make. In "Candy Crush" you have the option to send your friends extra lives. Some of my friends and coworkers (don't worry, I won't out you as a candy crusher) send each other lives all the time. There is also an option within the game to invite all of your Facebook friends who aren't playing the game to play the game.

Below, you'll see what the page that allows you to ask-every-human-you've-ever-interacted-with-to-play-a-dumb-iPhone-game on the left and a page that lets you ask-your-friends-who-already-play-this-dumb-iPhone-game-for-extra-lives on the right. THEY LOOK THE SAME!

I've been having this problem for a few days now. I can play Candy Crush offline but cannot send/request assistance from my Facebook friends. Whenever it tries to send a request i get the error message 'candy crush cannot connect to the server. Please restart or try again later'.

I have updated my ipad air software and restarted it. I can play cc on my windows phone so I know the problem is not with either candy crush/king or with my internet connection. All other games work, including cc soda.

JosieGiggs' fix works perfectly. But if you don't use Facebook (or don't want to use it), you can get fix things by pressing pressing the power button and circular button for five seconds. This is a soft reset, and fixes the Candy Crush problem.

Based on your statement that "All other games work, including CC Soda", that implies that there is no issue with your iOS device. It must be the Application. So opening a support request with the developer would be the suggestion.

HI Josie, I have the same issue you were experiencing. It is happening quite frequently. In the past I have just uninstalled and reinsstalled the game, but I strongly suspect I have lost all my accrued boosters when doing this. Would you mind giving me a step by step guide of how you logged out and in of facebook via settings. I have gone into settings and then gone to facebook on the list on the left hand side, then disallowed candy crush to use the app. Then opened candy crush again, then changed the setting to allow candy crush. At the end of all that it still says I cant connect to the server. Is your method different? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Poikkeus1, I will try that next time it happens. I do use Facebook and I play on an ipad. I'm just not sure exactly how to do JosieGiggs's fix. Are you able to give me a step by step breakdown of how her fix can be done. I'd like to try both ways. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thanks so much JosieGiggs, Poikkeus1 and Laura Rome. I have tried both methods and they both work. That's great!!! Now if we could just get the programmers at Kings to remove this annoying bug we can all get back to crushing candies without annoyance. I really appreciate your help guys.

User click a button->a list of my facebook friends appears-> i select one or more friends-> to each of this friends the app sends an invite to download the app from store-> i count and save locally the number of friends invited.

After hours i'm very frustrating, anyway i have see the candy crush app. It can send invites in in web browser,facebook app,mobile browers and it can select multiple facebook friends. Anyone know how achive the same result? I can replicate with Graph?

The documentation for the FBSDKAppInviteDialog works fine for me ( -invites/ios). If this is not working for you, it'd be a good idea to file a bug report at so Facebook can look into it and fix any bugs that might be present

I refuse to spend money to gain more lives when my five run out (it takes 30 minutes for a new life to refresh) but the temptation is real. (King, which makes Candy Crush, its offspring, and pretty much nothing else, brought in $652 million just in the third quarter of 2021; earlier this week, Microsoft acquired King and parent company Activision Blizzard for $69 billion).

A game like Candy Crush exploits burnout. Wordle, much like a puzzle or crossword, offers a moment of restoration. The mind is active but calm; I choose to start it, and then it ends. And as a result, it feels much easier to choose the things I actually, truly, want to do, instead of ceding my time to a row of four exploding candy icons.

Do you read this newsletter every week? Do you value the labor that goes into it? Have you become a paid subscriber? Think about it! Many of the people who read this newsletter the most are people who haven\u2019t gone over to paid \u2014 and I get it, I really do, I\u2019m constantly saying I\u2019m going to pay for things and take weeks to actually do it. But maybe today is your day.

Right before Christmas, I had some extensive dental work that refused, for a lack of a better word, to settle. Earlier in the week, I\u2019d gotten the 1-2 punch of the flu shot and my Covid booster. And I found myself doing something I hadn\u2019t done in years: I downloaded Candy Crush.

Candy Crush \u2014 and its dozens of \u201Csister\u201D games, which are really just Candy Crush with different shaped items \u2014 is a slot machine dressed up as a phone game. You move candies around to match, and then they explode. You can be \u201Cgood\u201D at Candy Crush but it largely a game of chance. Its addictive properties are well-documented and, depending on whether or not you\u2019re reading a piece of gaming-press, celebrated.

There\u2019s no real end point to Candy Crush (right now, there are over 10,000 levels, with more added all the time). Each level is just different and just challenging enough to keep you trying to defeat it. I don\u2019t have proof, but I feel very strongly that if you\u2019ve been working on a level for a long time, run out of lives, and come back to the game a day later, the game eases the difficulty so that you get a win that propels you to keep playing.

Candy Crush is satisfying the way 94% Fat Free microwave popcorn is satisfying: you can\u2019t stop eating it once you start but you never feel good and satiated afterwards. At this point, I know that the game\u2019s (re)appearance in my life is usually a good sign that I\u2019m feeling burnt out. In this case, I downloaded it in a haze of physical and mental exhaustion. But it\u2019s stuck with me for a month, superseding my reading and all the other things I actually want to do. I play it every night and I hate it so much.

Since the last time I downloaded the dumb game, it\u2019s leaned into its placement in exhaustion culture: small banners on the launch page invites users to think of playing as an opportunity to \u201Cchill and unwind\u201D or \u201Cswipe the stress away.\u201D I kinda can\u2019t believe this, but the current version of the game is branded \u201CMINDFUL JOURNEY SEASON.\u201D

The idea here, I think, is that Candy Crush is meditative because it empties and focuses the mind. But that\u2019s a very bright spin on the particular numbness that Candy Crush creates. I am a very novice meditator, but I know that what my brain does during meditation is very, very different than what my brain does during Candy Crush. One makes me feel like the world has come into soft focus. The other makes me feel nothing at all.

There is no past or future in Candy Crush \u2014 just micro-wins that ultimately feel flat and meaningless. Again: it doesn\u2019t alleviate the feeling of burnout; it matches its temperature, like one of those sensory deprivation float pools. It\u2019s ostensibly soothing but, in truth, a sort of brightly colored succubus: an app you didn\u2019t know was open on you computer, running in the background, draining all the battery.

Games like Candy Crush suck our leisure time \u2014 our snatches of empty mental space, our interstitials \u2014 but unlike actual hobbies or leisure or boredom, give us nothing in return. Boredom, after all, can make the mind come alive, similar to seemingly \u201Cmindless\u201D activities (weeding, walking, knitting, woodworking, baking) that allow the mind to exhale. Candy Crush is like a sharp inhale, over and over. It\u2019s not stressful, per se, but nor is it restful.
