Hi,


So, I downloaded a game (FM23) on apple arcade using my apple ID. But the device I was using is my partner's laptop with her apple ID. So, I played the game on her laptop and cloud save my game.


I tried to load the game on my phone with my apple ID etc, but it is not showing any saved game. The apple arcade shows my achievements on both devices but does not sync any of the saved game.


What can I do? Do I need to turn on my Icloud backup on my iphone? Or do I need to sign into Icloud account on the laptop?


Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4

Hello afifyusof,


It sounds like that app data is saved to the device Apple ID, as opposed to the Apple Arcade Apple ID , but it might be both. Only the developer can say for sure how they set up the data syncing and backups. Since the game was downloaded and played don your girlfriend's Apple ID account, you may need to download it and start over using your account and device to make sure that the content is able to be saved properly.


If you want to find out if you can recover that data from the game, reaching out to the developer might help. This article might help you get started with that: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue so we can look into this further with you. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
