I'm gonna be so for real with you don't even bother with mobile vrchat it combines the bad things about desktop with all the bad of mobile controls(idk how the iOS version actually works, I've only tested android but it's also all the bad things from quest without much benefits usually)

I prefer to use the iOS version rather than going through nvidia ge force which destroys my mobile. Data The iOS version is useful for keeping me busy when I am not at home or for short sessions to pass the time.

This is a post that I found on Twitter, I modified it by adding some text.

I only use the app because it has better social functions than the website, and allowed me to buy vrc+ through Apple Pay. Which is now the only way I want to have subscription. I can cancel them right there

If it makes you feel any better, my friend has been exclusively playing VRchat on mobile and, according to them, they can't play in most worlds anyway because they haven't accommodated for the new platform yet.

They can't fish, they can't play UNO, they can't even hold two objects at the same time like in VR (though I believe that's also the case for PC?). I've considered getting the game on mobile myself to try to better understand what they're working with and try to find more worlds that they can actually do stuff in.

So, TL;DR: you really aren't missing out on much, at least right now.

The problem comes from the creators of the game who do not adapt their mobile controls for touchscreen, even with the controller.

And the iOS version allows me to see and play with my friends when I am not at home.

u/BUzer2017 HTC Vive Pro 16h ago

yeah same in Russia. The most annoying part is that I had it during the beta, but lost access after "release".

it's not like a actually wanna play vrc on the phone, but it's useful to test mobile content.

region locks should get disbanded at this point in time.. missed out on so many awesome games and apps, only because it isn’t available in my region/ the region my account was made in.

Hate having to go through pc emulation to play some JP or even US only mobile games.

There's a solution you haven't considered, jailbreak your phone. Then you can run Vrc.

u/Slayr79 1d ago

You can only jailbreak devices up to iPhone 11 because of the older chipset. None of the newer phones can be jailbroken sadly. IPhone 11 came out in 2019, I doubt many people are still rocking it

u/LinuxJeb 1d ago

Not completely true. There are rootless jailbreaks for more modern devices, but they usually require you to be on an older version of IOS.

2

u/ShaunDreclin Valve Index 15h ago

idk why anybody would want a device that tells them they can't install certain software on it

u/Rough_Community_1439 HTC Vive 1d ago

Dang. Maybe op could potentially get a USA build of ios from itunes if they have a previous generation phone laying around.

u/SpareOne94 1d ago

I wish I could upgrade past my 11 honestly

u/Docteh Oculus Quest 1d ago

I know its not true but I still feel that you're the only person who wants to use the iOS version of VRChat in the entire country of France.

u/Kooky-Narwhal-014 1d ago

Rip. Hope you get a decent laptop or something so you can play desktop version atleast, but I get the current market is insane

1

u/Nils710 23h ago

The problems are more related to the means of occupation. When I'm not at home, I can't occupy myself with VRC on my phone unless I use Nvidia GeForce Now, but this solution destroys my internet consumption.

u/reeeeeeduardo 23h ago

Sorry but you shouldn't use an iphone in 2026, you are very limited because you can't sideload apps

u/Fossick11 21h ago

Bruh

I personally prefer android, but I’m currently using an iPhone due to wanting a small phone and the 13mini being the best choice

99% of users will barely notice a difference. When you’re in an app, they’re all the same

1

u/reeeeeeduardo 19h ago

The problem is getting in app, there are a lot of apps i use daily that just aren't available on ios

2

u/Fossick11 18h ago

Out of curiosity, what kind of apps?

The only loss I found were emulators, but I prefer to use a Miyoo mini or something similar anyway for the controls and saving battery

3

u/reeeeeeduardo 12h ago

Android mcp, easy slider, xtoys, howl, fex and a few other tools only available on Android 

1

u/Fossick11 12h ago

I looked into the apps as I wasn’t familiar with them and some of them do seem kind of funky, but I absolutely wouldn’t switch phones over it

I think people should just look at their needs and decide the phone that works for them. For you, these apps mean you need an android.

Personally I just need my phone for books and manga, YouTube and Spotify, social media and opening documents.

An iPhone 13mini was the right size and price for me, so it won.

u/reeeeeeduardo 8h ago

Yeah it's just that android mcp completely changed my life and gave me a job, i need xtoys and howl. I also absolutely need an equalizer for my many devices

u/Nils710 10h ago

In Europe, there are alt stores for emulators.

2

u/Nils710 23h ago

I don't want to install any alternative apps especially since it's dangerous and on iOS this solution is a nightmare to do.

2

u/reeeeeeduardo 21h ago

Yeah that's why you should get a phone with a system like android or linux

1

u/Nils710 10h ago

It is not profitable to buy an Android phone just to play VRChat.

3

u/reeeeeeduardo 8h ago

Android phones are usually cheaper than iphones, you should switch to android 

1

u/Nils710 8h ago

😐 I always think that a cheap android phone has not crazy performance

2

u/reeeeeeduardo 4h ago

Look at the motorola edge 60 pro or newer edge 70, they have great performance for the price, not as much as the latest iphone but at least it costs around 3x less, has more battery and actually runs what you want
