Mixed-phone couples hit this wall constantly: one iPhone, one Android, and half the games in the store quietly assume you both have the same one. Township is not one of them. It supports cross-platform play.
What cross-platform actually means here
Cross-platform play means the version on your partner's phone and the version on yours are the same game and the same servers. You are not looking at separate iOS and Android worlds that never meet — you install it on whatever you each already own and play together from there.
Township is on both the App Store and Google Play, so it does not matter which of you is on iPhone and which is on Android.
Setting it up on two different phones
- Install Township on each phone from whichever store you use.
- Add each other as neighbours or friends.
- Build and grow your world at your own pace.
- If one of you cannot see the other, check you are both signed in to the same kind of account — that is the usual culprit, not the phone.
If it still will not connect, have both of you close and reopen the app before troubleshooting anything more exotic.
Is Township worth it for two players?
Cross-platform is only useful if the game is any good with two people. Township is a simulation game and it is calm enough to play while you talk about something else, which is what makes it work as a couple game rather than just a game you both happen to own.
- Build and grow something together at a relaxing pace.
- Visit and help each other’s world any time.
- Cozy, creative and easy to dip into daily.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Township cross-platform between iPhone and Android?
- Yes. Township supports cross-platform play, so an iPhone player and an Android player can play together in the same session.
- Can I play Township with my partner if we have different phones?
- You can. Different phones are fine as long as you both install Township and link up in-game — the platform difference does not separate you.
- Do we need the same store account for Township?
- No. Your App Store and Google Play accounts are separate from your in-game account. It is the in-game account that needs to connect you, which is why the friend step matters more than the store you downloaded from.
