Benefits of Unlinking Your Call of Duty Mobile Account
Here are some of the potential benefits of unlinking your CoD Mobile account:
- Link to another Activision account: Unlinking allows you to tie your CoD Mobile profile to a different Activision account. This can be useful if you want to consolidate accounts or switch main accounts.
- Change login details: If you’ve lost access to the Activision account your CoD Mobile profile is linked to, unlinking lets you relink to the same account with new login details later.
- Troubleshooting account issues: Sometimes unlinking and relinking your account can help resolve technical issues that may arise with your account syncing properly across platforms.
- Sell your account: Unlinking prepares your account for sale by disconnecting it from personal information. However, account selling is prohibited under Activision’s Terms of Service.
Risks and Downsides of Unlinking Your Account
While unlinking your CoD Mobile account can be useful in some cases, it also carries some significant downsides:
- Lose all progress: Unlinking results in complete loss of all progress, stats, unlocked items, and rankings tied to that Activision account.
- Lose all purchases: Any COD Points, battle passes, skins, or items purchased with real money will be lost when you unlink your account.
- Temporary account ban: Unlinking too frequently (more than once per 12 months) can get your account banned for “account hopping.”
- No guarantees: There is no guarantee you’ll be able to relink your unlinked account to the desired Activision account later.
- Technical issues: The unlinking process can sometimes fail or cause other technical issues with your account.
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlinking on Android
If you understand the risks and still want to proceed with unlinking your CoD Mobile account from your Activision account, here is a step-by-step guide for Android devices:
- Open Call of Duty Mobile on your Android device.
- Tap on your profile picture in the top left corner.
- Select the Linked Accounts option.
- Find the Activision account you want to unlink and tap Unlink.
- Tap Confirm to proceed with unlinking.
- Enter your Activision account password when prompted.
- A pop-up will appear informing you that unlinking will result in permanent loss of all data associated with that account. Tap Continue to proceed.
- Your CoD Mobile profile is now unlinked from your Activision account. The process is permanent and irreversible.
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlinking on iOS
The process for unlinking your account on iOS is very similar:
- Launch Call of Duty Mobile on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile picture in the top left corner of the screen.
- Choose the Linked Accounts option.
- Locate the Activision account you want to unlink and tap Unlink.
- Confirm you want to unlink the account when prompted.
- Enter the password for your Activision account.
- Review the warning that unlinking will permanently erase your CoD Mobile data. Tap Continue if you wish to proceed.
- Your CoD Mobile profile is now unlinked from your Activision account on iOS as well. This process is permanent.
What Happens After Unlinking Your Call of Duty Mobile Account?
Once you successfully unlink your CoD Mobile account, here is what will happen:
- All progress lost: Stats, rankings, weapon levels, battle pass tiers, and ALL other progress will be reset as if you’re starting a brand new account.
- All purchases removed: Items bought with COD Points, like skins, lucky draws, battle pass purchases, etc. will be lost.
- Account remains intact: Your actual CoD Mobile account still exists, but in a fresh state unlinked from any Activision account.
- Can relink: You can link your unlinked CoD Mobile profile to a new or different Activision account later.
- No restores: There is NO way to restore lost progress or purchases after unlinking an account. The data erasure is permanent.
So in summary, unlinking wipes the slate completely clean on your CoD Mobile profile’s progress and purchases. Think carefully before going through with it.
Alternative Options to Unlinking Your Account
Before you decide to take the nuclear option of unlinking your CoD Mobile profile and losing all your data, consider these alternative options:
Change Activision Account Login Details
If you’ve lost access to the Activision account your CoD Mobile profile is linked to, you can update the login details instead of unlinking:
- On Activision’s account login page, choose Forgot Password.
- Reset your password via the email used for that Activision account.
- Log in to the Activision account with your new password.
- Change the account’s email address to one you control.
Your CoD Mobile data stays intact since you remain linked to the same account.
Link to Different Platform Account
Rather than unlinking altogether, you can link your Activision account to a different platform account:
- Sign in to the Activision account your CoD Mobile profile is linked to.
- Under Linked Accounts, unlink your current platform (e.g. Xbox Live).
- Now link your Activision account to a different platform account (e.g PlayStation Network).
- Log in to CoD Mobile with your new linked platform account.
This lets you change the base account your Activision profile relies on while preserving your CoD Mobile data.
