In this guide, we will show you the steps to use numerous Google apps and features in China on your Pixel device. As you might be aware, the Pixel devices are not officially sold in China, so your only course of action is to either get your hands on it unofficially from local sellers or import it from abroad. In this regard, you’ll have to make sure to purchase a carrier-unlocked device, or else your regional carrier will not work.
Apart from that, there is another pretty crucial piece of information that you should keep in mind before you mold your purchasing decision- some Google-exclusive features might not work on your Pixel device in China. The apps that are dependent on location permission for proper functioning [such as the Google News Feed and At a Glace Weather] will be impacted the most
This is because they are dependent on the Google Location Report service which wouldn’t function in regions where the device isn’t officially sold. Fortunately, there does exist a nifty workaround that might help you bypass this roadblock. So without further ado, let’s check it out.
How to Use Google Apps and Features on Pixel in China
Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
- To begin with, root your Pixel device using Magisk.
- Then download and install the LSPosed Framework.
- Now download and install the Location Report Enabler.
- Then launch LSposed and enable this module from there.
While the LSPosed version comes with a higher success rate and is more stable, but if it isn’t working for you, then you could also try its non-LSPosed version. Just download and install it from GitHub, launch it, and get the job done. On that note, we round off this guide on how you could use Google apps & features on your Pixel device in China.
