Getting Access to Google Play Store in Other Countries

Whether you are a smartphone user or not, you certainly have at least heard about mobile apps or similar features and possibly also about the Google Play Store. This is the Android version of a virtual store where you can download any of the aforementioned apps, either games like the world famous Pokémon Go or Candy Crush, and other content such as social networks’ proper Android apps. But what you may not know is that the Google Play Store actually has a different version of its store for each country, one more complete than the other. Wouldn’t it be fun to jump across the border to pick up neat exclusive apps that may not be available in your own country?

Google Play Store country variations

The variations of the Google Play Store go beyond the automatic identification of language and system-provided formats for dates, times, numbers. The major differences lie in the available apps in your country. This means that every country may have its own exclusive layout and content. Let’s take the case of Netflix for instance, whose U.S. library is the biggest and most desired one, therefore giving birth to numerous cases of people trying to access the U.S. Netflix app via other means.

Let’s get back to Pokémon Go, as it makes a perfect example for yet another reason you may want to get access to the Google Play Store of another country. The game had a phased worldwide release and it is not yet available in such important countries as India, China, Russia, some parts of Africa and south Asia. As an Android user in one of these countries, you may want to sneak into the Google Play Store of another country such as the UK to freely download the Pokémon Go app for your smartphone.
