Users often find themselves in a predicament when popular apps and games are unavailable in their region on the Google Play Store. Fortunately, there is a straightforward workaround that enables the installation of Android applications through a few simple steps, as highlighted by TechViral.
How to download an Android app that is not available in your country
To begin, you will need to utilize an Android VPN app to alter your device’s IP address. For instance, if you wish to download PUBG Mobile, which is not accessible in your country but can be found in the United States, follow these steps:
- First, open the VPN app on your smartphone.
- Next, connect to a VPN server located in the country where the desired app or game is available.
- Once connected, long press the Google Play Store icon on your home screen and select “App Info.”
- On the Google Play Store App info screen, tap the “Force Stop” option to halt the app.
- After that, tap the “Storage Usage” button on the same screen.
- In the Storage usage section, select “Clear Cache.”
- Now, reopen the Google Play Store (ensuring you remain connected to the VPN). Search for the app or game you wish to install.
- The Google Play Store should now permit you to download and install the app. Simply tap the “Install” button to proceed.
If the app does not appear, it may be necessary to clear the Google Play Store data as well. Subsequently, create a new Google account while connected to the US IP address via the VPN. Add this account to your Android device, log in, and search for the app again.
Additionally, on Android devices, users can view the screen of recent apps, which displays the amount of RAM they utilize. However, it is important to note that, by default, the system does not provide a breakdown of memory consumption for each individual application.
Android continues to offer a plethora of features and functions that attract users to its operating system. Connecting your Google account to your mobile device can also assist in tracking it in the unfortunate event of loss.
