How can we help?

Swipe up, down, left or right to slide every tile on the 4×4 grid. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one worth double, and a new 2 or 4 appears after every move. Make the 2048 tile to win. The game ends when the grid is full and no tiles can merge.

You’ll see the 2048 Achieved screen. Tap Keep Going to carry on toward 4096 and beyond with the same board, or New Run to start fresh.

The undo button takes back your most recent move, including the new tile that appeared after it. It works even when the board has locked up and the game is over. Undo goes back one move at a time: after undoing, make another move to be able to undo again.

Partly. With VoiceOver on, select the game board and use the actions rotor to move the tiles up, down, left or right, and the score and best score are read aloud. Individual tiles aren’t fully described yet; we’re working on it.

Any iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 26 or later.

No. Future 2048 works fully offline and never uses the network.
