To use an existing Genshin Impact save on a phone or tablet, sign in with the same HoYoverse account and choose the same server as the device holding your progress. First confirm the account and login method on that device; creating or using a different login can make your save appear missing.

Before linking, identify the account with your progress

  1. On the device where the correct save is visible, open Genshin Impact and go to Settings > Account > User Center.
  2. Check which HoYoverse account or linked login method is in use. Make sure you can access its credentials before signing out.
  3. If needed, link an email and set a password in User Center so you can sign in with those credentials on mobile.

HoYoverse says game progress is tied to a specific account, identified through an email, social login, or in-game UID. Its cross-save guide supports synchronization across PC, iOS, Android, PlayStation, and Xbox: How to synchronize game data across platforms.

Sign in on your mobile device

  1. Install and open Genshin Impact on your iOS or Android device.
  2. Choose the same HoYoverse account credentials or linked third-party login used on the device with your save. Do not assume that entering the same email address through a different sign-in option selects the same account.
  3. Select the same game server as your existing progress. Once the account and server match, your progress should load.

For the login and server checks HoYoverse recommends when progress appears reset, see its cross-platform synchronization guide and its reset-progress troubleshooting article.

Check the login method if the save is missing

Different sign-in methods can lead to different accounts, even when they use the same email address. HoYoverse specifically distinguishes Google third-party sign-in from standard email-and-password login, and Apple ID from Game Center. Confirm the method that holds the save on your original device, then use that same method on mobile.

Yojaro 4Pack Silicone Suction Phone Case Mount, Silicon Adhesive Smartphones Stand Sticky, Hands-Free Phone Accessories Holder for Selfies and Videos (Black & White & Translucent & Light Pink)
  • 【Strong Adsorption】The inspiration of the silicone phone suction case comes from the adhesive force of the octopus. Each suction cup phone mount is 3.15 inches long and 2.17 inches wide, with 24 independent suction cups providing a stronger and more stable suction force, so you don't have to worry about your phone falling during use.
  • 【Back of Phone Suction Grip】Remove the adhesive film on the phone suction cup and stick it on the phone case. You can then fix the phone on any smooth surface, which is very convenient. (The phone suction cup cannot be removed and reused after being attached to the phone case. It is recommended to attach it to a regular phone case, not a valuable one.)
  • 【Widely Used】Our non-slip silicone phone sticky grip mount attaches to almost any flat phone case and make it compatible with common mobile phones such as iPhone and Android.You can shoot, watch videos or video calls in the kitchen, gym, dance studio, bathroom and other places.
  • 【Capture the Wonderful Picture】Whether you are a TikTok creator or just like to share videos and photos, this phone suction cup can help you hands-free capture wonderful videos and photos for sharing with friends.
  • 【Note】You can fix the phone suction cup on a smooth surface such as a mirror or glass. If necessary, wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to obtain stronger suction. Before releasing your hand, make sure the phone is firmly fixed. (Not applicable to rough walls, wooden surfaces, and other uneven surfaces)

HoYoverse’s device-change guidance also notes platform-specific access limits: Apple- or Game Center-linked accounts may be accessible only on iOS devices or through the Account Center, while Google third-party login accounts created on Android may not be accessible on iOS or through the Account Center. Available options can depend on the account; consult HoYoverse’s device-change troubleshooting or contact support if the usual sign-in does not work.

If your Genshin account started on PlayStation

On PlayStation, open Genshin Impact and go to Settings > Account > User Center. Follow the prompts to link an email and set a password, then use that email and password to sign in on your phone. HoYoverse’s current steps are in its PlayStation linking guide.

Apple EarPods Headphones with USB-C Plug, Wired Ear Buds with Built-in Remote to Control Music, Phone Calls, and Volume
  • SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
  • HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
  • BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with USB-C plug also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
  • COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a USB-C port.
  • INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.

PlayStation saves have an additional server consideration: HoYoverse says the server is determined by the region of the PSN account. Its Genshin-specific cross-save notice also describes eligibility restrictions, including a conflict where a PSN game account already in use cannot be linked to an email associated with a different HoYoverse account. That notice was posted July 9, 2021, so follow the current in-game prompts or ask support about your specific account before attempting a conflicting link: Notice on Cross-Save Function Between Account for PSN and HoYoverse Account.

What to do if mobile still shows a new or empty save

  1. On the device that has the desired progress, revisit Settings > Account > User Center and verify the account or login method.
  2. On mobile, sign out if necessary and use that exact account and method; a different Google, Apple, Game Center, or email/password route may open another account.
  3. Check the selected server against the server used by the existing save. For a PlayStation-origin save, account region affects the server.
  4. If the account and server are correct but progress remains unavailable, contact HoYoverse support through its progress troubleshooting page.
