 Some friends only have one foreign region ID, but they want to download apps from other regions. So here is a temporary region-switching tutorial that has been tested and works.

1. You must open this webpage using the Safari browser!

2. Click the region you want to switch to:

• China
• United States
• Japan
• Hong Kong
• Taiwan
• South Korea
• United Kingdom
• Russia
• Canada
• Malaysia

3. After waiting about 10 seconds for the redirect to complete, the bottom menu bar will change to 5 items instead of the domestic 4. Then just search for the app directly.

Other Common Questions:

Question 1: It says unable to connect to App Store?

Answer: Try switching between the bottom menu tabs—it should refresh automatically.

Question 2: The bottom menu is still in Chinese and only has 4 items (meaning the switch didn't work). What should I do?

Answer: Here's how to clear the background (same for iPad):

For iPhone X and above, swipe up from the bottom bar and pause in the middle of the screen, then swipe up to close the App Store.

After clearing the background, click the country you want to switch to again and try (just repeat it a couple of times).

PS: Of course, if you find this troublesome or not reliable enough, you can directly purchase a dedicated foreign region ID from Xiaohaoduo Platform.
