Before we jump into the how, let’s quickly cover the why. There are several reasons why you might want to change your Google Play account in MLBB:

  • Sharing Issues: Perhaps you're sharing your device with someone else, and you need to switch accounts to keep your game progress separate.
  • Region Issues: Some games may have region-specific content or benefits tied to your Google Play account, prompting a change.

Understanding why you need to make this change helps ensure you’re taking the right steps and avoiding potential issues. Alright, now that we’ve covered the reasons, let’s get to the good stuff: how to actually do it!

Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your Google Play Account in MLBB

Okay, here's the detailed, step-by-step guide you've been waiting for. Follow these instructions carefully, and you'll have your Google Play account switched in no time!

Step 1: Unlink Your Current Google Play Account

First things first, you need to unlink your current Google Play account from MLBB. This might sound scary, but trust me, it’s necessary and pretty straightforward.

  1. Open Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: Launch the MLBB app on your device.
  2. Go to Settings: Look for the settings menu. It’s usually represented by a gear icon. Tap on it to open the settings panel.
  3. Account Tab: In the settings menu, find the “Account” tab or section. This is where you’ll manage your linked accounts.
  4. Unlink Google Play: Look for an option that says something like “Unlink Google Play Account” or just the Google Play logo with an “Unlink” button. Tap on it.
  5. Confirmation: The game will likely ask you to confirm your decision. Make sure you understand the implications (like possibly needing to re-download some data) and then confirm that you want to unlink the account.

Important Note: Before you unlink, make sure your MLBB account is linked to another platform like Moonton account, Facebook, or VK. This ensures you won't lose your game progress. If you haven't linked to any other platform, do that before unlinking the Google Play account. You can usually find options to link to these other accounts in the same “Account” settings area.

Step 2: Clear Cache and Data for Google Play Services and Google Play Store

Sometimes, the old account information can linger in your device's cache, causing issues when you try to link a new account. Clearing the cache and data for Google Play Services and Google Play Store can help.

  1. Open Device Settings: Go to your device's main settings menu. This is usually found by tapping the gear icon on your home screen or in the app drawer.
  2. Apps or Application Manager: Look for a section called “Apps” or “Application Manager.” The exact name may vary depending on your device.
  3. Find Google Play Services: Scroll through the list of apps until you find “Google Play Services.” Tap on it.
  4. Storage: Tap on “Storage.”
  5. Clear Cache: Tap the “Clear Cache” button. This will remove any cached data.
  6. Clear Data: Tap the “Clear Data” button. This will remove all data, including account information. Note that this won't delete your Google account, just the data stored on your device for Google Play Services.
  7. Repeat for Google Play Store: Go back to the list of apps and find “Google Play Store.” Repeat steps 4-6 to clear the cache and data for the Google Play Store as well.

Clearing the cache and data can help ensure that the Google Play Store and Services are starting fresh, without any lingering information from your old account. This can prevent conflicts when you try to link your new account.

Step 3: Switch Google Accounts on Your Device

Now that you’ve cleared the necessary data, it’s time to switch to the Google account you want to use with MLBB on your device.

  1. Open Device Settings: Again, go to your device's main settings menu.
  2. Accounts: Look for a section called “Accounts.” It might also be labeled as “Users & Accounts” or something similar.
  3. Google: Find your Google account in the list. If you already have multiple accounts, you’ll see them listed here. If you don’t see the account you want to use, you’ll need to add it.
  4. Add Account: If your desired account isn’t listed, tap on “Add Account” and choose “Google.” Follow the prompts to sign in with the Google account you want to use.
  5. Select the Correct Account: Once the account is added, make sure it’s the active account. You might need to remove the old account if you don’t want it on your device anymore, but be careful when removing accounts to ensure you don’t lose any important data.

Make sure the Google account you want to use with MLBB is the primary account on your device. This will help ensure that the game recognizes the correct account when you try to link it.

Step 4: Link Your New Google Play Account in MLBB

With the correct Google account active on your device and the old account unlinked, you’re ready to link your new Google Play account to MLBB.

  1. Open Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: Launch the MLBB app on your device.
  2. Go to Settings: Navigate to the settings menu (the gear icon).
  3. Account Tab: Go to the “Account” tab.
  4. Link Google Play: Look for the option to link your Google Play account. It should now prompt you to choose an account.
  5. Select Your New Account: Choose the Google account you want to link from the list of accounts on your device.
  6. Confirmation: The game will likely ask you to confirm that you want to link this account. Confirm your choice.

After confirming, your MLBB account should now be linked to your new Google Play account. You might need to restart the game for the changes to take full effect.

Step 5: Verify the Account Change

To make sure everything went smoothly, it’s a good idea to verify that the account change was successful.

  1. Check Account Details: In the MLBB settings, go to the “Account” tab and check which Google Play account is currently linked. It should display the new account you just linked.
  2. Make a Small Purchase (Optional): If you want to be absolutely sure, you can make a small in-game purchase. Check that the purchase is being charged to the correct Google Play account.

By verifying the account change, you can rest assured that your MLBB account is now properly linked to your new Google Play account.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, things don’t go exactly as planned. Here are some common issues you might encounter and how to troubleshoot them:

  • Issue: Unable to Unlink Account
    • Solution: Make sure your MLBB account is linked to another platform (Moonton, Facebook, VK) before unlinking. If you’re still having trouble, try clearing the game's cache and data as well.
  • Issue: Wrong Google Account Still Showing
    • Solution: Double-check that you’ve cleared the cache and data for both Google Play Services and Google Play Store. Also, ensure that the correct Google account is selected as the primary account on your device.
  • Issue: Game Data Lost After Switching Accounts
    • Solution: This is why it’s super important to link your account to multiple platforms. If you’ve lost data, contact MLBB customer support immediately. They might be able to help you recover your account.
  • Issue: Linking Fails Repeatedly
    • Solution: Restart your device and try again. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. If that doesn’t work, check your internet connection and make sure it’s stable.

Tips for a Smooth Transition

To make the process as smooth as possible, here are a few extra tips:

  • Backup Your Account: Always, always, always link your MLBB account to multiple platforms. This is your safety net in case something goes wrong.
  • Double-Check Everything: Before you make any changes, double-check that you’re logged into the correct Google account and that you understand the implications of unlinking and relinking accounts.
  • Stable Internet Connection: Make sure you have a stable internet connection throughout the entire process. A dropped connection can cause errors.
  • Be Patient: Sometimes, it takes a few tries to get everything right. Don’t get discouraged if you encounter issues. Just follow the steps carefully and troubleshoot as needed.
