Apex Legends Mobile is a fast-paced, action-packed game that requires quick reflexes and lightning-fast response times. However, nothing ruins the experience more than high ping, which can make the game feel sluggish and unresponsive. High ping can be caused by a variety of factors, such as slow internet speeds or server issues. In this article, we'll provide you with some tips and tricks to help you fix high ping in Apex Legends Mobile. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a new player, these solutions will help you achieve the best possible gaming experience.

Disable Background App Refresh

Prevent other applications from running in the background. Especially resource-intensive applications which can use up your network connection should be closed when playing Apex Legends. Next, open up your Settings application. For iOS devices, navigate to the General settings tab and here tap on Background App Refresh. Make sure to prevent your other apps from being updated by disabling this option when playing Apex Legends. This setting will be disabled by default when using the Low Power Mode on your device.

iPhone Settings > General > Background App Refresh

Disable VPN Connection when playing Apex Legends

You should also disable your VPN service while in-game, which will otherwise induce lag and a higher ping.

iPhone Settings > General > VPN & Device Management

Allow Apex Legends to use Mobile Data

Scroll down to your Apex Legends settings and ensure the Mobile Data option is enabled.

iPhone Settings > Apex Legends > Mobile Data

Verify the Apex Legends Server Status

You can then try to re-launch Apex Legends. If the network connection error persists, then you should ensure that you are using a reliable network connection and that the Apex Legends servers are operational. Open up your favorite browser and search for Apex Legends server status, or click on the link in the description below. Preview server outage reports in the last 24 hours for the Steam, Origin, Xbox version, etc. Below, preview server issues for Crossplay, the Lobby, and Matchmaking servers or Logins.

You should also make use of the Live Report Map. This will allow you to see where these reports are coming from.

Internet Connection Test

If the server seems operational, use a speed testing site or application, such as Speedtest. This will give you an average latency, upload and download speed for your connection. If your ping is higher than 100ms, or you have an unstable download speed, you should consider using a different network connection to play Apex Legends on your mobile device. To further improve your network connection, you can restart your router or modem if you haven’t done this in a while.

Update Apex Legends App

In your AppStore or Google PlayStore, look up Apex Legends. This will show you if the application is current, which could otherwise prevent you from playing the game.

Restart Device

Restart your mobile device if you haven’t done this in a while. This will restart some services and processes and, in many cases, fix the network connection error for Apex Legends.
