Good morning.
I cannot apply the current update since my phone doesn’t have the space. I also cannot backup my data because the game won’t let me get past the update window. Do I have any options here?
Delete some apps you dont need (temporarily)
If you can backup your photos or music to something like iCloud, DropBox, Google Docs, OneDrive, etc - you should be able to free up some room on your phone.
Unfortunately, I can’t really think of an option that I know of to circumvent just having to make the room if you game data isn’t already backed up.
