Free Lives

Time Cheat

You start with five lives and it takes 30 minutes to receive a new life so if you were starting from zero it would take 2.5 hours to get a full set of lives again. Unless you want to spend real money and buy lives you can get around having to wait if you have a mobile device by manually setting ahead your time on it. Once you have finished manipulating time and have your lives remember to go back to Settings and return your device back to the correct time.

Ask Friends

Make sure you do not accept lives if you have a full set of lives because if you have 5 lives already you don’t get any more lives, they just go to waste.

If you have used up all your lives on your mobile consider playing the game on your desktop online on Facebook or the Candy Crush Saga site as doing so will give you a full set of lives and there is a good chance the level you were struggling with on your mobile will be easier to complete on the desktop version of the game.

Delete And Reinstall App

Remember also that although doing this doesn't affect your progress or gold bars it will however delete all your boosters forever so only do this when you have boosters that you don't care about losing.
