Why Can't I Watch Ads on Subway Surfers?

It's super frustrating when you're trying to get some extra goodies in Subway Surfers by watching an ad, and it just won't work. You're not alone in this; it's a pretty common issue. The main reasons why you can't watch ads are usually due to connection problems, a bug in the game, or you've simply run out of ads to watch for a while.
One time, I was so close to beating my high score, but I tripped. I was counting on watching an ad to save myself, but the option was grayed out. It turned out my Wi-Fi was acting up. I quickly switched to my mobile data, and thankfully, I was able to watch an ad and continue my run. It’s a good idea to check your internet connection first.
Why Can’t I Watch Ads on Subway Surfers?
There are a few reasons why you might not be able to watch ads in Subway Surfers. Here's a list of the most common ones:
- Internet Connection: A weak or unstable internet connection is often the culprit. Make sure you're connected to a strong Wi-Fi signal or have a stable mobile data connection.
- Game Glitch: Sometimes, the game itself might have a temporary bug that prevents ads from loading. I remember a time when none of my friends could watch ads for a whole day. The next day, there was an update, and the problem was fixed.
- Ad Limit Reached: You can only watch a certain number of ads in a day. If you've already watched a lot of ads to get rewards, you might have to wait a while before you can watch more.
- Low Storage: If your phone is low on storage space, it can affect how apps run, including the ability to load ads. Try freeing up some space to see if that helps.
- In-App Purchases: If you've made any in-app purchases, like the permanent double coins, you might not see as many ads. The game rewards you for spending real money by removing some of the ads.
If you've tried all of the above and you're still having trouble, it might be a good idea to contact the Subway Surfers support team. They might be able to help you figure out what's wrong.
