Apex Legends Mobile has a totally different system by which players unlock things, for example, many Legends can be unlocked through progress rather than having to purchase them. Respawn Entertainment are treating Apex Legends Mobile as a different game with different systems, so it is unlikely we will see cross-progression become a thing here.
