==== Facebook - Connected/Disconnected ====

Connecting the game to Facebook provides a number of new options to the game:

* The roadside shop name and profile picture comes from the player's Facebook first name / profile picture, Google + first name / profile picture or Game Center nickname / profile picture, depending on which account their farm is attached to. With Facebook and Google + it is not possible for players to change their roadside shop name or picture unless they change them in their Facebook app or Google + app. If not connected the player will not have a roadside shop name or profile picture.

* When connected, the player's roadside shop name and profile picture is visible to all other connected Facebook users.

* The game will automatically link players to their Facebook friends who are playing Hay Day, and have also connected their game to their Facebook account.

* The player can add friends via Facebook or Game Center. As players add friends, the number of crates available in their roadside shops increases (the amount of friends needed increases by 4 each time).

* If connected to Facebook, players can use the "megaphone" to let their friends know they need help in their farm.

* To play the same farm on different devices, it needs to be connected to a Game Center ID or a Facebook ID.

* Players can also transfer their farm from an android device to an iOS device (or vice versa) if connected to Facebook.

* The players farm is "saved" and is able to be recovered if something happens to the players device if connected to Facebook, Game Center or Google +.

* Leaders, co-leaders and elders of a neighborhood, can send out invitations to Game Center or Facebook friends to join their neighborhood, by visiting their friends farm and tapping on the envelope icon next to the smiley face.

* To attach the farm to Facebook, the player must be logged into Facebook before opening the game and tapping the "Facebook - connected". The farm will permanently attach itself to the first Facebook account chosen.

==== Game Center - Connected/Disconnected ====

Connecting the game to Game Center (iOS) provides a number of new options to the game:

* The roadside shop name and profile picture comes from the player's Facebook first name / profile picture, Google + first name / profile picture or Game Center nickname / profile picture, depending on which account their farm is attached to. With Game Center, players can change their roadside shop name or profile picture by going to the device's settings > Game Center > Nickname. If not connected the player will not have a roadside shop name or profile picture.

* When connected, the player's roadside shop name and profile picture is visible to all other connected Game Center users. The profile picture can be seen in: the friends bar, in the daily dirt when selling, and whenever they complete another's player's boat crate, revive their trees / bushes or buy from their road side shop, or visit their farm.

* The player can add friends via Facebook or Game Center. As players add friends, the number of crates available in their roadside shops increases (the amount of friends needed increases by 4 each time).

To find other players' Game Center IDs, iOS players can visit Hay Day's Facebook page or [http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/6-SHARE-Game-Center-ID forum] or within this [[Friend requests|wiki site]].

The farm is correctly attached to the Game Center if they see a "Welcome back" message from Game Center each time they launch the game. The farm will permanently attach itself to the first Game Center account chosen.

==== Google Play - Connected/Disconnected ====

Connecting the game to Google Play (Android) provides a number of new options to the game:

* The roadside shop name and profile picture comes from the player's Facebook first name / profile picture, Google + first name / profile picture or Game Center nickname / profile picture, depending on which account their farm is attached to. With Facebook and Google + it is not possible for players to change their roadside shop name or picture unless they change them in their Facebook app or Google + app. If not connected the player will not have a roadside shop name or profile picture.

* When connected, the player's roadside shop name and profile picture is visible to all other connected Google Play users.
