Can I redeem Google Play Store points on iPhone?

I had some redeem points in my Google play store of my android phone. now in my iPhone, I wanted to redeem those same points, but in Apple Store, because like for example, I got a YouTube premium free in my play store of my android phone because of some payment that I did, but since now i havent redeemed that code yet, I wanted to redeem the code in my iPhone. Is it possible?

if you have subscribed to YouTube Premium through the Google Play Store on an Android device, your subscription is still valid on an iPhone as long as you log in to the same YouTube account. YouTube Premium is tied to your Google account, not a specific platform, so you can enjoy its benefits across Android, iOS, and even on the web.


However, the situation is different when it comes to in-app purchases, such as gaming apps with points or virtual currency:

  • If a game is available on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and it uses cloud-based account syncing (e.g., through Facebook, Google, or a game developer's account), your progress and purchases may carry over seamlessly.
  • However, if the app does not support cross-platform syncing or if it's only available on Android, then any purchases, points, or rewards you earned will not transfer to the iOS version.


In summary:

  • YouTube Premium works seamlessly across platforms as long as you're using the same account.
  • Game progress and points transfer only if the game supports cross-platform syncing and is available on both stores.
  • App-specific purchases made through the Play Store are usually not transferable to iOS due to different payment ecosystems.
