Community Q&A
- QuestionIf I do this and reinstall a game, will I keep all my points and the level I'm on, or do I have to start all over
AdriofTeamMysticCommunity AnswerIt depends on the game, but if you have an account on the game, it will usually save your progress. However, many apps don't use accounts and you may have to start over if you delete it and reinstall. - QuestionI downloaded an app, but it won't delete from settings. How do I get rid of it?
Community AnswerIf the app is grey or has a grey box-like figure, try reinstalling then deleting. If that doesn't work, try hard-resetting your phone (Power + Home).
