Being the most popular mobile operating system, Android offers us thousands and thousands of different games and applications. So, one question pops up a lot, especially when talking about games. How-to, and is it actually possible to hack Android games?

It could be useful for players in many different ways: imagine being able to increase the current score, or increase the number of coins that you have? Or even “buy” in-app purchases without actually paying.

So, let’s make this clear – hacking IS possible, but with the constant updates coming from Android, not all methods will work on all the system versions. Basically, any kind of hacking is usually done by using a third-party app, but the difference is, that some apps will require your Android to be rooted.

However, many people try to evade rooting their phones, since this opens up different features which are not allowed to a standard user. This can be beneficial, but without proper knowledge, it might cause errors on your device. It’s something similar to jail-breaking.

Please note that when downloading games and apps from websites other than Play Store, you might need to enable the option “Unknown sources.” You can usually find it in “Security”, under “Settings”.

6. Now increase or decrease the number of coins, and press hot-key again.
7. Tap the “!” sign, then tap on “coins” and enter your desired amount.

In The End

Hacking Android games can be useful for any gamer, whether you are playing some complex RPG games, or Candy Crush Saga.

If you don’t have much experience in coding, or using more complex Android functions, and if you are actually a “classic” user, it might not be wise to root your phone. However, if on the other hand, you want to root it, feel free to follow our guide on rooting.

Hacking on a rooted and non-rooted phone is different, as you can see. Depending on what seems to suit you best, download some of these apps and try it out. As mentioned above, depending on your device and Android version, some apps might not work.

Also, please note that hacking can be tricky if you want to hack online games, such as Clash of Clans. The problem is that most of the values (gold, coins, gems) are actually saved on their servers, instead of being saved on your device.
