How to get more hearts in Candy Crush Saga

Candy Crush Saga is one of mobile platforms' most popular match-3 puzzle games. It boasts stunning and colorful graphics and several levels that provide players with fun and challenging gameplay styles. As players progress through levels, the gameplay gets tougher, thus leading to higher usage of moves and even depletion of lives in the process.

Managing the number of hearts is an essential aspect of Candy Crush Saga. Players will have to keep a close eye on the number of lives and moves remaining to develop better strategies that will help in successfully completing each level.

Players are given five lives by default, and the heart symbol denotes them. Once all moves are used up, players will lose a life, and so on, as long as they can't complete a level using the given number of moves. Once all five lives are used up, players will have to wait.

Hearts will replenish every thirty minutes. This is a long waiting time for players to have to endure so that they can attempt certain levels again.

You will have to spend 69 gold for unlimited lives lasting six hours. If you don't have enough gold, you can purchase them with real money.

This option will only work if you link your Candy Crush Saga account to your Facebook account. Following this method, you can ask your Facebook friends to send you hearts. The process can be initiated by clicking the "Ask friends" button.

Note that you cannot have more than five hearts, so it is advisable to ask only from a few friends to avoid spamming the inboxes of others.

3) Time Hack for Unlimited Lives

This is one of the best hacks you can implement to get unlimited lives, and the process is very simple. Once all your hearts are depleted, you must exit Candy Crush Saga and remove it from running in the background. Go to your settings and set the time forward to a few hours.

After that, log into the game again, and you'll see that your lives are back. You can continue from thereon. This short method will allow you to play with unlimited lives. Once you're done playing, don't forget to set the time back to the present on your mobile device.
