LetsVPN: iOS download guide

LetsVPN protects your privacy plus security — bypass blocks in 3 seconds for anonymous access, with real human assistance available at any time.

First choose the circumstance that applies to you:

I only have a mainland-China Apple IDI have an overseas Apple ID

Create a new Apple ID

In about a minute, create a brand-new “Hong Kong Apple ID” — it makes downloading LetsVPN plus other overseas apps much easier.

Go to Apple’s login creation screen — appleid.apple.com/account
Fill in your details plus select “Hong Kong” for the country or region. Use a brand-new email that has never registered an Apple ID, plus a mainland-China mobile number for verification.
Once all fields are submitted you will reach the email verification step — complete it.
Next comes phone number verification — complete it.
When you reach the “Login plus Security” screen, your Hong Kong Apple ID has been created successfully.
Open the App Store, tap the avatar icon in the top right plus select Sign Out (scroll to the very bottom to find it).
Sign in with your new Hong Kong Apple ID — select “Sign In”, not Done.
When the store content switches to traditional Chinese, you are now in the Hong Kong storefront. Download LetsVPN or search for it.

Tip

On first download, Apple will ask you to confirm some login details — tap Continue plus follow the prompts. Do not select any payment method; the remaining fields can be filled arbitrarily. Once the download is finished you can switch your Apple ID back to your mainland-China login.

Change your account region

In about a minute, switch your Apple ID to the Hong Kong region to download LetsVPN. Note — when your login has active subscriptions, use another method.

Go to appleid.apple.com, click Sign In plus enter your Apple ID.
After signing in, open the login menu in the top right plus select Personal Information.
On the personal information screen, select “Country or Region”.
On the country or region screen, select “Change Country or Region”.
You will now be in the payment method form. Set the country or region to “Hong Kong”, select “None” as payment method, fill the billing address plus phone number (+852 and any 8 digits) as you like, set the shipping country to “Hong Kong”, then tap Update.
Open the App Store, tap the avatar in the top right plus select Sign Out.
Sign back in with your Hong Kong Apple ID — select “Sign In”, not Done.
Once the store switches to traditional Chinese you can download LetsVPN. Afterwards you can change the region back whenever you like.

Tip

If you cannot change the region, or cannot select “None” as payment method, use another route — create a new Apple ID or use the shared login.

Download the official package

Use the shared account

Please follow the walkthrough strictly. This route is for temporary downloads only — sign the shared login out as soon as you are done.

Warning — avoid bricking your phone. Never sign in to the shared ID on the iCloud screen or in Settings, or your App Store plus iTunes Store may be disabled or locked.

Open the App Store plus tap the avatar in the top right. Never sign in on the iCloud screen or in Settings.
Choose “Sign Out” — you must scroll to the very bottom to find it.
After signing in, an Apple ID security screen may appear — select “Other Options”, or ignore it when it does not appear.
In the pop-up, select “Not Now”, or ignore it when it does not appear.
Sign in with the shared Hong Kong Apple ID provided on the screen, following the steps above. Mind the capitalisation — copy plus paste it.
When the store content switches to traditional Chinese you are now in the Hong Kong storefront plus can download LetsVPN.
After the download, tap the avatar in the App Store, scroll to the bottom plus sign out; sign back in with your own Apple ID to return to the simplified store.

Tip

If the field appears empty or the login does not work, clear your cache plus reload the screen to get a fresh shared account.

Common iOS questions

Why does the iOS mobile app need a non-mainland-China Apple ID?

Because App Store distribution is regional plus the mobile app is not offered in the mainland-China storefront. There are three routes — (1) create a brand-new “Hong Kong Apple ID” (recommended); (2) change the region of an existing Apple ID to Hong Kong; (3) use the official shared login to download temporarily. Full steps for all three are on the iOS download handbook screen.

What when I see “App unavailable” during download?

First check whether the Apple ID you are signed in with is still set to Mainland China — when you just switched regions, Apple may not have finished syncing. Sign out, wait a moment, sign back in, or switch to another usable Apple ID plus download again.

It says “this item can’t be purchased now” or “no longer available”. Fix?

An old build of the mobile app is usually still installed on the endpoint plus is conflicting with the store version. Delete the installed copy (Settings → General → iPhone Storage → delete), then reinstall the latest version from the App Store.

The App Store asks me to sign in with a different Apple ID. What now?

This usually happens when you downloaded the mobile app with one Apple ID plus later tried to refresh with another. Sign in with the original login to refresh, or delete the old copy and installment the latest version fresh.

The shared login asks for two-factor verification. What now?

Another user probably bound the shared Apple ID to a phone number plus enabled two-factor verification. Clear your browser cache, reload this screen to get a fresh shared login, plus follow the walkthrough exactly — never bind your own number or enable 2FA on it.

Can downloading the iOS mobile app brick my phone?

No — as long as you follow the walkthrough. The critical rule — never sign in to the shared Apple ID on the iCloud screen or in Settings, only inside the App Store, or the endpoint can be locked. If you already did, go to Settings → Sign Out of the shared login plus enter your own lock-screen credential to clear Lost Mode. Never trust any non-official personal login.

If anything goes wrong during the download, contact live assistance — a specialist will walk you via it.
