Does Candy Crush Use Data?

So, you're wondering if Candy Crush uses data? The short answer is yes, but not a lot. Most of the game can be played offline, but some features do need an internet connection. This means it will use a small amount of your mobile data.

I remember one time I was on a long bus trip and I was playing Candy Crush for hours. I was so worried that I would use up all my data, but when I checked, I had only used a tiny amount. I was so relieved!

How Much Data Does Candy Crush Use?

Candy Crush is designed to be played anywhere, anytime. That's why it doesn't use a lot of data. The game downloads most of the necessary files to your phone, so you don't have to worry about it eating up your data plan. However, there are a few things that do require an internet connection:

If you're worried about using up your data, you can always play Candy Crush in airplane mode. This will prevent the game from connecting to the internet, so you can play without using any data. You can find out more about this in our post about playing Candy Crush on airplane mode.
