While the Seed4.Me VPN app and other VPN applications remain available in the App Store, they are not accessible in the Russian region. However, they can still be downloaded to an iPhone or iPad by changing the region of your Apple ID account. Here’s how to do it:
Before taking any step, please note:
By changing your region, you can access all foreign applications that are unavailable in the Russian Federation. Apps that have exited Russia may become accessible again, especially if you choose countries like the US or EU nations with extensive catalogs.
Free apps can be used easily. However, subscribing via the App Store presents challenges because you will need a bank card from the country you’ve selected; Russian cards are not accepted on the App Store.
For the Seed4.Me VPN application, you can subscribe directly on the website using a bank card without needing the App Store. Simply create an account on the website, choose your preferred payment method, and your subscription will sync across all your devices.
Recommendation: If you need access to apps from another region while maintaining paid Apple subscriptions, you can create an additional Apple ID. Use your Russian ID as the primary one for subscriptions, and the secondary one for accessing the App Store without logging out of your iPhone.
How to change the region on iPhone and iPad
If you decide to change the country in an existing Apple ID profile, you can follow the steps bellow:
Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap your name, then select Content & Purchases > View Account (Enter your Apple ID password if needed).

- Accept the terms and enter the new information:
- PAYMENT METHOD: Select “None” if you do not have a card that works on foreign sites.
- BILLING ADDRESS: Enter Kazakhstan, postal code: 010000, and any street and house number (not verified). You can indicate your phone number, as numbers in Kazakhstan also start with +7.
- After changing the region, try again to find and install the Seed4.Me application in the App Store or click this direct link: Seed4.Me VPN App.
You’re all set!
As you just saw, changing the App Store country or region on your Apple devices is quite easy. By following these steps, you can download the Seed4.Me VPN app on your iPhone and iPad, even if you are in Russia, China, or any other regions where the app has been removed.
