Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some apps not available in my country?+

Apps may be unavailable in certain regions due to copyright laws, government regulations, developer choices, or business strategies. For example, China blocks most foreign social media and VPN apps, while Hulu only operates in the US and Japan.

How can I download apps that are not available in my region?+

The easiest way is to use an Apple ID from the region where the app is available. For example, to download US App Store apps, you need a US Apple ID. WokerHome offers Apple IDs from multiple regions including US, Japan, and Korea.

Will switching Apple ID regions affect my data?+

Signing out of your current Apple ID and signing in with another region's Apple ID will not delete your app data. Downloaded apps will still work, but updates require the Apple ID used for the original download. We recommend only switching accounts in the App Store, not in Settings > Apple ID.

Which apps are blocked in the China App Store?+

The China App Store does not offer most foreign social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, WhatsApp), AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), VPN apps (Shadowrocket, Surge, NordVPN), and some streaming services (Netflix, Spotify, Disney+). This page provides a complete list.

Does the US App Store have all apps?+

The US App Store has one of the most comprehensive app libraries globally, but it doesn't have every app. For example, Douyin (Chinese TikTok) is only available in China. However, for most users, a US Apple ID will cover the vast majority of apps they need.
