Link your Uma Musume account by connecting it to a Google, Apple, or Twitter account before you switch devices

Uma Musume Pretty Derby saves your progress to a game account, not to your phone or computer. If you uninstall the game, switch devices, or lose access to your phone, you lose your progress unless you have already linked that account to something permanent. The link takes about two minutes and prevents you from losing hours of gameplay.

You can link to a Google account, Apple ID, or Twitter account. Each method works the same way: you tell Uma Musume which account to save to, and then you can log back in from any device using that same account. Most players link to Google because it works on both Android and iOS, but Apple ID works only on iPhones and iPads.

Key Takeaways

  • Linking your Uma Musume account to Google, Apple ID, or Twitter is the only way to keep your progress if you delete the game or switch devices.
  • You link from inside the game in the settings menu, not from a website or separate app.
  • Google works on both Android and iOS phones, while Apple ID works only on iPhones and iPads.
  • Once linked, you can log into the same account from a different device by selecting the same account type at the login screen.

Link your account to Google

Open Uma Musume and tap the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner of the home screen. Scroll down and tap Account. You will see a list of account types you can link to. Tap Google.

A Google login screen will appear. Enter the email address and password for the Google account you want to use. If you have multiple Google accounts on your phone, you can choose which one to link. After you log in, Uma Musume will ask you to confirm that you want to link this account. Tap Confirm or OK. The link is now active.

To test the link, uninstall Uma Musume completely, then reinstall it from the App Store or Google Play. When you open the game for the first time, you will see a login screen. Tap Google and log in with the same email address. Your account and all your progress will load.

Link your account to Apple ID

This method works only on iPhones and iPads. Open Uma Musume and tap the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner. Scroll down and tap Account. Tap Apple ID.

Your phone will ask you to confirm that you want to sign in with your Apple ID. Tap Continue. You may be asked to enter your Apple ID password or use Face ID or Touch ID to confirm. After confirmation, Uma Musume will show a message saying the link is complete. Your account is now tied to your Apple ID.

If you later switch to a different iPhone or iPad, open Uma Musume, and at the login screen tap Apple ID. Sign in with the same Apple ID you used to link the account. Your progress will load automatically.

Link your account to Twitter

Open Uma Musume and tap the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner. Scroll down and tap Account. Tap Twitter.

A Twitter login screen will appear. Enter your Twitter username (or email) and password. Twitter will ask you to confirm that you want to allow Uma Musume to access your account. Tap Authorize. Uma Musume will show a confirmation message. The link is now active.

Twitter linking is less common than Google or Apple ID because it requires you to remember your Twitter login. If you change your Twitter password or lose access to your Twitter account, you may have trouble logging back into Uma Musume. Google and Apple ID are more reliable for this reason.

What to do if you already uninstalled the game

If you deleted Uma Musume without linking your account first, your progress is gone and cannot be recovered. The game does not keep a backup of accounts that were never linked. Do not reinstall expecting to find your old account — it will not be there.

If you reinstall the game, you will start fresh with a new account. You can link this new account to Google, Apple ID, or Twitter right away so you do not lose it again. Some players contact the Uma Musume support team to ask about account recovery, but recovery is not usually possible unless you have proof of purchase or other documentation tied to the account.

Switch devices using your linked account

Once your account is linked, you can play on a different phone or computer by logging in with the same account type. Install Uma Musume on the new device. When you open the game, you will see a login screen with options for Google, Apple ID, and Twitter. Tap the same account type you linked to originally.

Log in with your credentials. Your account will load with all your progress, characters, and items intact. You can play on both devices at the same time, but the game will only save progress from whichever device you played on most recently. If you play on your phone and then play on your tablet, the tablet version will overwrite the phone version's progress.

Unlink or change your account

You can unlink your account from Google, Apple ID, or Twitter and link to a different account instead. Open Uma Musume, tap the menu button, tap Account, and look for the account type you are currently linked to. Tap it again and select Unlink or Remove. Confirm the action.

After unlinking, you can link to a different account of the same type or a different type entirely. Be careful: if you unlink without linking to something else first, your account will be at risk. Always link to a new account before you unlink from the old one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I link to Google but then change my Google password?

Your Uma Musume account stays linked. You will need to use your new Google password the next time you log into Uma Musume on a different device. The old password will not work, but the link itself does not break.

Can I link the same Uma Musume account to both Google and Apple ID at the same time?

No. You can link to only one account type at a time. If you link to Google and then link to Apple ID, the Apple ID link will replace the Google link, and you will no longer be able to log in with Google.

What if I forgot which account I linked to?

Open Uma Musume, tap the menu button, and tap Account. The account type you are currently linked to will be highlighted or marked as "Linked". If you are not sure which email or username you used, try logging in with your most common Google, Apple, or Twitter account.

Can I play Uma Musume on my computer?

Uma Musume is a mobile game and does not have an official computer version. You can play on a computer using an Android emulator like BlueStacks or NoxPlayer, and you can link your account the same way you would on a phone. Link to Google, Apple ID, or Twitter before you switch between your phone and emulator.

Is my account safe if I link it to Google?

Your Uma Musume account is as safe as your Google account. If someone gains access to your Google password, they can log into Uma Musume. Use a strong, unique password for Google and enable two-factor authentication on your Google account for extra protection.
