How do I download apps from another region?

Once you're signed in with the foreign account, the App Store has already switched to that region's storefront — from there, downloading works exactly like it always does.

Download steps

1. Confirm the foreign account is signed in inside the App Store app (tap the profile picture to check).
2. Tap Search at the bottom and enter the app's name. Search in English or the region's local language for the best hit rate.
3. Find the app in the results:

- Free apps: the button says Get. Tap it and confirm — the first download may ask you to enter the account password once more. - Paid apps: the button shows a price. Purchasing deducts from the account balance; if the balance is short, the purchase won't go through.

1. The app lands on your home screen when done. Using it afterwards does not require staying signed in with this account.

Free vs. paid

• Free apps cost nothing from the balance and there's no download limit.
• Paid apps and in-app purchases can only be paid from the account balance. Never attach your own credit card or payment method to this account — it changes the account's security state and leaves your payment details on a shared account.
• When a downloaded app needs an update later and asks for a password, just sign back into this account to update — you only need it at download/update time.

If you can't find the app

• Make sure the app is actually published in that region — availability varies by country.
• Double-check the spelling, or open the App Store link from the app's official website.
• Verify the profile page shows the foreign account, not your own.
• Still no luck? Ask FoxVIP live support whether the app exists in that region.
