Battlegrounds Mobile India Finally Comes to iOS

Battlegrounds Mobile India has been one of the most anticipated game launches of the year now. The game was welcomed with open arms, but was not launched across platforms. It was only launched on the Android platform, and iOS users did not know for how long they would have to wait. The wait is now over. Battlegrounds Mobile India has finally come to iOS. On 17 August 2021, the game was seen on the Apple App Store for the first time. It has already crossed 50 million downloads on Android and now with the iOS launch, the community is set to only grow.

How to Get Battlegrounds Mobile India on iOS?

There are a few steps that you need to follow to download the game on your Apple devices(iPhones and iPads). Users can search for Battlegrounds Mobile India and tap on "Get". This will start the download of the game after you authenticate your Apple ID or use your Face ID for it. The game is about 1.9 GB in size and is only compatible with devices running at least iOS 11.

Krafton also addressed that some users might face problems while logging in to the game due to some ongoing maintenance of the server. However, the company has assured that it will be fixed soon and all users will be able to download the game. Game accounts linked to the Apple ID will not be able to log in during the period of maintenance.

On crossing the 50 million download mark, Krafton is gifting players with the "Galaxy Messenger Set" outfit. This will be a permanent outfit and can be claimed by users in the game. Players on the iOS platform will be able to claim these rewards by downloading the game. The game came out with early access in June on Android smartphones. This is the first time that the game will be seen on the iOS platforms as well. This will result in more players being added and the community growing bigger. The competition will become fierce, but it will also become more fun.

Here is what the industry leaders have to say about it:

Adding yet another feather to its cap, the exclusive battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India will now be available on iOS.
