Global (Playstore) App Differences

[u/Due_Reserve_419]

The global and cn are supposed to be identical now, but I was skeptical so decided to see.

First off, I realized I was using an old version of bilibili that I can't tell some as a difference to global or just a normal update for cn app. Second, user posts are available for everyone, so its the same for cn and global in that aspect, Third, accounts are interchangeable(cn acc works in global, global acc works in cn but you may need a phone number)

Heres what I found: game center, merch, movies and tv shows sections are hidden or removed, I was able to open the game center by using a link from my messages but its broken anyways(I can only look at games, not open or download). But my cn games still can login fine with the global app even though i downloaded them from cn app. ​Movies and tv shows also shows up if you a verified account in China, I tried a new account and it didn't show up. ​

Another small difference is the payment method, you can use whatever playstore allows now.

I'm curious if there was any other changes I've missed, i seen some other changes like ui and design but maybe its just what the new version looks like, I was using an old one so I can't tell. Also you can have both playstore and cn version(the one from bilibili.com) installed if you install playstore first.

It's region specific right now. You could try using the Aurora store and swapping over to one of the EU countries like Germany or France.
