If you got an iPhone and don't wanna change region, you could try family sharing with someone who already has it.
Sometimes the app store blocks apps due to local regulations, so that's probably why it's tricky in HK.
Honestly, you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools if ChatGPT is giving you trouble here.
Would be great if OpenAI just rolled out a global version without all these geo issues.
I found that using a desktop browser with a VPN gave me the best experience so far.
For Android users, just grab the APK from a trusted source since it might not appear in local stores yet.
I think VPNs can help access the app if it's restricted in your region, just connect to a US server.
Any idea if there's a waitlist or invite system for Hong Kong users?
I managed to download it through the App Store without issues, but had to switch my region to US first.
Tried the ChatGPT website directly on my phone browser and it works fine without any app downloads.
