Help and support section
The Help and Support panel shows what is new, known issues, answers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and is where players go to receive help from Hay Day Support. Players can search Help and Support by using the magnifying glass in the top right corner.

If the player can not find an answer to a problem, they can contact Hay Day Support through the "Contact Us" icon in the top right corner (if available), or, after searching, the "Contact Us" will be at the bottom of the page.

Players write their message to support and leave their name, they can also choose to leave their email address. Players can also attach screenshots or other images by tapping on the image icon in the top right corner. Once finished they tap the send arrow icon, also in the top right corner. A notification will appear on the settings icon when support has responded.
