With globalization accelerating, more businesses are expanding into international markets. Social media has become crucial for companies looking to grow their international customer base. However, many corporate employees face difficulties downloading international social media apps due to restrictions in Android or HarmonyOS app stores.

To help solve this problem, this guide outlines four effective methods for downloading international social media apps, making it easier for corporate teams and individual sellers to take their first step into global markets.

Preparation

1. Please prepare a stable scientific Internet tool. This is the first step to downloading foreign social media. Please keep the scientific Internet tool open when operating the following methods.

2. Register a Gmail account. Using a Gmail account increases the success rate when registering on foreign social media platforms.

Download via Google Play

The official application stores of domestic mobile phones usually cannot download foreign social media apps, so if you want to download some foreign software, the most official and reliable way is to download it through Google Play.

1. Check your phone's Android version

Open "Settings" - "About Phone" - you can see the Android version of this phone.

2. Download APKPure App Store on your phone.

3. Download Google Services Framework

Click the link or search on APKPure - scroll to the bottom to view the version, and select the same version number as the Android version number in the first step - download.

4. Download Google Play services

Click on the link above to download APK.

5. Download Google Play Store

Click on the link - select the latest version of Google Play Store - download.

After installing the framework, you can generally use Google Play normally. Google Play has official and genuine overseas social media software for you to download.

However, some users reported that their phones kept crashing after downloading Google Play, and they were unable to use the functions of Google Play normally. Then you can try the following methods to download international social media software.

Download through third-party Google apps

If installing Google Play is problematic, platforms like Gspace, Gbox, or Chujingyi allow you to access international social media apps without needing Google Play services.

How to use Gspace

1. Open the app store on your phone, click "My" - "Settings" - "Country/Region" - change the country or region to a place outside China (it is recommended to change it to a text you can understand) - after changing, return to search for "Gspace" to download.

2. Open Gspace and grant all necessary permissions. Click " Google Play" - "Log in to your Google account" - "Search for the software you want to use."

3. After the download is complete, the overseas social media icons will appear on the Gspace homepage. Next time you want to use overseas social media software, you can directly open Gspace or create a shortcut to open it on the desktop.

Download via US ID (iPhones)

Apple users can access international apps by creating a U.S. Apple ID. Before starting, prepare the following:

(1) U.S. mobile phone number ( buy a U.S. card online or find a code receiving platform to receive the verification code )

(2) U.S. address (you can find an address generator online)

(3) US IP (your IP address must be in the US during the entire creation process)

After preparing the above information, you can follow the steps below to start registering a US ID:

1. Use a browser to open the Apple official website and enter your basic information. (It is recommended to register using a computer browser, which will be more stable)

Note:

(1) The region and phone number must be in the United States.

(2) It is best if the birthday you enter is that of an adult.

(3) The preferred email address is Google Mail or a QQ Mail that has not registered an Apple ID.

2. After completing the telephone registration, the system will send a verification code to the email address you just filled in. Just fill in the verification code on the page below.

3. After successful registration, pick up your iPhone, open the App Store, and log in with the new Apple ID. A prompt will appear after logging in. Select Check/ Review, then fill in the information in sequence, including address, city, state, zip code, phone number, select None as the payment method, and finally click the Next button. The US ID is successfully registered.

4. Return to the App Store homepage and you can download overseas social media software.

Download via APK file

If other methods don’t work, you can manually download APK files from a web browser. However, this approach carries risks, so proceed with caution.

However, this method has certain risks and is generally not recommended unless the above three methods fail to download.
