There are a few common reasons why you may be unable to log in to your BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) account using Facebook:
Your Facebook account is not linked to your BGMI account
In order to log in to BGMI using your Facebook account, you first need to link the two accounts. This is a one-time process that connects your BGMI account to your Facebook account.
To link the accounts:
1. Open BGMI and tap on the settings icon in the top-right corner.
2. Select ‘Account’ and then tap on ‘Link Account’.
3. Choose ‘Facebook’ from the list of options.
4. You will be redirected to Facebook to enter your login credentials and grant BGMI access to basic information from your Facebook account.
5. Once linked, you can use your Facebook account to log in to BGMI going forward.
If you have not gone through this linking process, you will not be able to use Facebook to log in to BGMI. Be sure to link the accounts first before trying to log in with Facebook.
You are trying to log in on the wrong platform
BGMI is a mobile game designed only for Android and iOS devices. It does not have a web version that can be accessed via Facebook on PC or mobile browsers.
The Facebook login option is only available within the BGMI app on your phone. Trying to log in to BGMI via Facebook’s website or app will not work.
Be sure you are opening the BGMI app on your Android or iOS device first, and then selecting the Facebook login option. Do not try logging in from Facebook directly.
Your Facebook account is banned or disabled
If your Facebook account has been banned, disabled or restricted in any way, you will be unable to use it to log in to BGMI.
Common reasons for a banned Facebook account include:
– Violating Facebook’s terms of service or community standards
– Suspected unusual or suspicious activity
– Fake or duplicate account
If you cannot access your Facebook account normally, then you will not be able to use it to access any linked services, including BGMI. The access block will need to be removed from your Facebook account first before logging in to BGMI with it.
Your Facebook session has expired
BGMI uses your active Facebook session to log you in instantly. However, if your Facebook session has expired due to inactivity or logging out, BGMI will no longer be able to leverage the active session.
In such a case, when you try to log in to BGMI using Facebook, it will simply redirect you back to the BGMI login screen without actually logging you in.
To resolve this, you need to first log back into Facebook separately. This will create an active Facebook session again. After that, try logging into BGMI with Facebook and it should work.
If your Facebook session has expired, logging in directly within BGMI will not work – you have to log in to Facebook first.
Your Facebook password has changed
If you have changed your Facebook password since linking the account to BGMI, the old password stored in BGMI will no longer be valid.
When you try to log in with the outdated password, it will fail.
In such a case, you need to unlink the Facebook account from BGMI and re-link it. The linking process will prompt you to enter your new Facebook password, which will then be updated in BGMI.
Once it is re-linked, you can log in to BGMI with your new Facebook password.
There is a temporary login issue
In some rare cases, a temporary technical issue may prevent Facebook logins from working properly in BGMI.
This could be due to problems with BGMI servers, Facebook APIs, or instability caused by a recent update. The problem should be intermittent and get resolved within a few hours.
If the login issue persists for more than a day, it likely is not a temporary glitch and one of the other reasons on this list may apply. But do allow for some time for any temporary technical problems to sort themselves out.
Troubleshooting Steps
If you are unable to log in to BGMI using Facebook, here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:
| 1 | Check if your Facebook account is already linked to your BGMI account. If not, link it via the in-game settings. |
| 2 | Ensure you are trying to log in from the BGMI app on your phone, not via Facebook. |
| 3 | Check if your Facebook account has been restricted or disabled. If so, re-enable it before logging into BGMI. |
| 4 | Log out and back into Facebook to refresh the session before trying to log into BGMI. |
| 5 | If your Facebook password has changed, unlink and re-link the account in BGMI. |
| 6 | If the issue persists, contact BGMI customer support for assistance. |
Following these troubleshooting steps will help identify and isolate the reason for the Facebook login failure in most cases.
How to Unlink Facebook from BGMI
If needed, you can unlink your Facebook account from your BGMI profile by following these steps:
1. Open BGMI and go to the settings.
2. Tap on ‘Linked Accounts’.
3. Find the Facebook option and tap on ‘Unlink’.
4. Confirm that you want to unlink the account when prompted.
Once unlinked, you can link a different Facebook account or relink the same account later if needed. Keep in mind unlinking will disable logging in with Facebook unless you re-link it.
Logging in with Twitter, Google or Guest Account
If you are unable to resolve the Facebook login issues, you do have other login options for BGMI:
Similar to Facebook, you can link your Twitter account in BGMI and use it to log in. Just ensure your Twitter account is not restricted.
Link your Google (Gmail) account to log in with your Google credentials. Make sure you don’t have 2-step verification enabled.
Guest
You can always log in as a guest without linking any social media accounts. However, guest accounts have certain limitations.
So best to link a Facebook, Twitter or Google account if possible for full access to BGMI’s features.
Linking a New Facebook Account
If you want to start fresh and link a new Facebook account to BGMI, first unlink the previous account as explained earlier.
Then open BGMI, go to settings > Account > Link Account and select Facebook to link the new account. Log into Facebook when prompted to complete the linking.
Once done, you can log in to BGMI using your new Facebook account credentials.
