CoD Mobile Removes Facebook Linking For Player’s Safety

Over the years, Call Of Duty Mobile has been a game to die for. And with its crazy graphics and a great blend of FPS action, Call Of Duty Mobile surely stands out as one of the most beloved FPS titles on mobile. However, Activision made a recent update for players unable to use their Facebook photos for avatar icons.

Call Of Duty Mobile Facebook Photos Impact

CoD Mobile players are kept busy with monthly updates and seasons that feature new content. At the same time, Activision still listens and engages with gamers through Discord and Reddit, maintaining a large active community. Recently, CoD publisher Activision have taken some measures regarding the avatar in the game, as it no longer features Facebook Profile Pictures.

This caused quite an uproar in the gaming community as we all know that many players link their accounts to their Facebook, allowing them to use customizable pictures as their Call Of Duty Mobile Avatars. Unsure why Activision made the change, players are restricted from having a custom avatar. They have to stick to the avatar icons provided by the game, by unlocking them through Battle Pass tiers, crates, bundles, and draws.

The change in the game was revealed by Activision only through the Activision Support page. At the time, the reasoning for the update wasn’t revealed. Now, the reason they removed Facbook account linking is due to the community using inappropriate images. This pushed Activision to moderate the in-game experience of CoD Mobile to ensure player safety.

CoD Mobile Players’ Photo Suggestions

CoD Mobile players are left disappointed and distraught with this decision made by Activision. Reddit users are commenting on the change, pointing out the fact that only a small number of players were using vulgar images. Now the entire CoD Mobile community is getting punished for it. While this change made by Activision was the right step to take, they don’t have access to the players’ Facebook profile pictures. Some suggest that the publisher could use an extra layer of verification when players are adding their Facebook profile images to Call Of Duty Mobile.

Gamers must have already anticipated for an improved security measure to take place to prevent harm to the community. As mobile gaming becomes more accessible, game developers have grown cautious about player safety. At this time, it’s uncertain whether Activision would bring back the feature while including the extra verification layer.

But as things stand now, players can simply forget about the feature coming back as the decision was carried out by Activision, most likely, with very careful thoughts. While the fact that it may or may not be brought back stands, players should continue to move on, afterall, they have been provided with other profiles from Call Of Duty Mobile, and they can make do with it. Activision, more or less, had a hard time coming up with this idea as it would result in some negative feedback, but they kept in mind the saying, “Sacrifices must be made.”
