However, Jailbroken iOS devices are an exception here.

But don’t worry, there are some workarounds to get the game running in your iOS device as well. So, in this article, we are going to explain how to install or update PUBG mobile on iOS devices. There are two ways of getting the game. One requires to download the game using a VPN and play it. At the same time, another one requires changing your location to another country.

How to Install and Update PUBG Mobile on iOS?

Many teenagers and gamers just love PUBG because of its game aesthetics and addictive gameplay. Where some countries have banned the game, there are many ways to bypass such bans and download or install PUBG easily.

Method 1: Country change

Here are Steps to Download and Update PUBG Mobile on your iPhone and iPad Device for Free

1. Open the App Store and tap on the account icon to the top right corner.
   
2. Tap on your account and tap on Country/Region.
3. From the pop up select Sri Lanka or any country as you wish.
4. Now you’ll have to provide a Billing address.
5. Just provide any random fake name, followed by any text in Street Name and region.
   
6. Finally, select a region and give a Zipcode. (You can get Zip codes for the region from Google.)
7. Keep payment option to None.
8. Save it, once done the App Store will restart itself.
9. Now Search for PUBG Mobile on the App Store and you can download the game without any issue and play.
   

Although some people cannot get into playing the game due to restrictions from the network provider, in such cases, you are required to use any VPN servers. Although using VPN will not give you the same experience as playing on your stable network. You’ll experience network lags, and there is a good chance of earning yourself a ban.

1. Download a VPN client like the Panda VPN.
2. Create accounts and login to your Client app.
3. Now select USA servers from the list of servers and tap on connect.
   
4. Keep the VPN connection as long as you want to play the game, and else you may get disconnected from the game.

Method 2: Getting the Korean version

Only the global version of the game is banned in India. Hence there is a chance of downloading the Korean version of the game.

To do so,

1. Navigate yourself to changing the country as mentioned in Method 1.
2. Now change the country to South Korea and provide necessary details.
3. Search for PUBG and install the Korean version of PUBG mobile.
   
4. Now you can play the game without any issues or the requirements of a VPN server.

The only downside of this method is you’ll have to make a brand new account for the game since your previous account will not work. Now you have to start from scratch for the Korean version of the game.

Nevertheless, it is better than getting a higher latency when using a VPN. Nor is there any risk of getting banned since we are not using any tools to play the game.

Conclusion

So as you can see, there are many workarounds on getting the game on your iOS device. Above all, the experience won’t be the same as previously. But it’s better than having nothing. Using the Korean version is better than playing with a VPN, especially due to higher latencies and the risk of getting banned. If PUBGM works on your network without issues, you can use the global version instead.

The best bet is to wait out until everything has been cleared. Since PUBG corporation has obtained all rights over PUBG distribution in India, there is a chance for the game to re-launch in India anytime sooner or later.
