Question Change region

[Kenshin1870]

I create account months ago in order to use Nova launcher, but recently i notice that I got delays with updates so i check my region account or in the phone.

I can't find the region in settings only in the vivo account page i now I see says india, but also I can't change it from there either.

Already enter the account from the browser and also see an option to change that?

Is there a way to change that in the phone or in the vivo account? Maybe because I am in India updates doesn't arrive fast

Indian accounts restrict features. Create a new account from V-Appstore. Use phone verification. That should get you a Chinese account and enable all features.

Which restrictions for example?

Not sure. I'm not Indian and I've always had a Chinese account. It's a good while back but there were some posts where people couldn't figure out why certain options weren't present on their Chinese vivo device which turned out to be because they were logged in to an Indian account.

How did you create a Chinese account without having a Chinese phone number for SMS verification? Please share! Thank you!

@tastyounguy just use your local number

With region.... do you mean the Vivo Account -> Profile -> County of registration ?

Country of residence?
How can you select china in there? Everything is in Chinese

@Kenshin1870 afaik the country is automatically assigned with no way to change it. You might need a VPN to create a Chinese account in India. Also those are Chinese provinces, not countries.

I did not select 'Location' because indeed everything is in Chinese. I was talking about 'Country of registration' which is the bottom field. This last field has the value 'China' for me, but I live in the Netherlands. I cannot recall if I used a VPN or not...
