Android players can also use the COD: Mobile latest update APK file to install the game in case they are not able to download it from the Google Play Store.
Use Mobile Data
There are cases when the ISP blocks certain games and category apps without notifying the customers. So, to check if your ISP is blocking your account login in COD: Mobile, try playing the game using mobile data.
