Preliminary information

Before getting to the heart of this guide and explaining, in practice, how to download Hay Day Pop , let me give you some more information on how this can happen. At the time of writing this guide, Hay Day Pop is not yet available in Italy, but only in some selected countries, such as Australia , Finland and New Zealand .

So, unless you reside in one of these countries (in this case, you can download the game by following the “classic” procedures provided for Android and iOS ), you must necessarily use a little “trick”: everything consists in associating to the smartphone or tablet in use a Google / pple account belonging to one of the aforementioned countries and use the latter to obtain the latest Supercell title.

The only limitation consists in not being able to purchase any in-app content: to do so, in fact, you should have a “native” payment method of the chosen country to associate with the account, such as a PayPal account (or credit) Australian, New Zealand or Finnish.

The theme of this guide will only explain how to associate a foreign account with Android and iOS and download the game from the store on your device. Ready to get started?

How to download Hay Day Pop on Android

The first step to be able to download Hay Day Pop on Android is to associate an Australian Google account (or even Finnish or New Zealand, if you prefer) to the device. The first thing to do, in this sense, is to trick Android into thinking you are in another country by changing your IP address using a VPN and disabling location services to avoid unwelcome detections.

Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee the success of this procedure, as Google, thanks to its localization techniques, could “guess” the deception and ask you to enter an Australian phone number to verify your identity: it is still a this is not a very frequent event and, for this reason, it is worth a try!

Obtain a foreign IP address

To begin with, you need to download an app capable of hiding the Italian IP address, such as Surfshark or NordVPN : these two services can be used to obtain an external IP and provide a free trial period of 7 days, however they have different costs: Surfshark costs € 1.99 / month, while NordVPN costs € 3.30 / month. For the purposes of this guide, my choice fell on the Surfshark app .

After downloading the app mentioned above, start it, tap the Start free trial button and follow the instructions that are provided to you to proceed with the creation of a new account: therefore enter an email address and a password to use to log in, tap the Next button and tap the Start and Subscribe buttons to start the trial period; if necessary, configure a valid payment method on Google Play, following the procedure proposed on the screen: do not worry, you will not be charged anything for the first 7 days of use of the service.

Once the subscription procedure is complete, you should find yourself in front of the main SurfShark screen: first, tap on the Locations tab and then on the name of a city in Australia , so as to start a connection with an Australian IP. When prompted, tap the OK button to authorize the app to use the Android VPN system and wait for the secure connection to be established .

In order to avoid unwanted charges, I recommend that you cancel your Surfshark subscription at least 24 hours before the trial period expires: to do this, start the Play Store , tap the ☰ button at the top and then on the Subscriptions item , located in the menu that appears.

Finally, tap on the box related to Surfshark and disable automatic renewal by tapping on the word Cancel subscription : if requested, indicate the reason why you want to cancel (eg. I do not use or I prefer not to reply ), tap the Continue button and tap the button Cancel subscription , to proceed. You will still be able to continue using Surfshark until the free trial period ends.

Disable Location Services

After you get your Australian IP address, you need to stop Android from getting your real location – to do that, you need to turn off device location services and location access for Google apps. So, go to the Android Settings by tapping the gear wheel that resides in Home or in the drawer, reach the Security and location> Geolocation sections and move the lever corresponding to the Use location item to OFF .

Subsequently, tap on the item Accuracy of Google’s geolocation and move the relative switch to OFF , then return to the previous menu, tap on the item Geolocation service for emergencies and also disable the lever relating to the item Send position to ELS .

We’re almost there: go back to the Android Geolocation menu , tap on the App-level permissions item , press the (⋮) button at the top right and touch the Show system app item , in order to view, inside of the list, all applications installed on Android.

After this step too, remove access to system apps that could “betray” you by moving the levers relating to Carrier Services, Device Personalization Services, Google, Google Play Film, Google Play Music, Google Play Store and LocationServices to OFF ; if necessary, confirm your will by replying Deny anyway to the warning message that appears each time.

Finally, jumps back to the menu Geolocation , simply tap on the item items Advanced and Scan on and off the switches relative to scan Wi-Fi networks and scan for Bluetooth devices .

By doing so, you should have blocked all Android attempts to access your real location, regardless of the IP address you obtained: remember, after installing the game, to undo all the changes made by switching it back to ON all the levers that you have deactivated in this phase.

Disassociate the Google account

At this point, to prepare the device for installing apps from a foreign account, you must dissociate the Italian Google account that you have previously configured on the device. In this regard, I believe it is right to specify that, following this procedure, all data relating to the original Google account will be deleted from the device (we are therefore talking about contacts, Gmail emails, calendars, notes, SMS and so on); these data can in any case be restored after re-associating the profile with the device.

All clear? OK, let’s proceed: to start, go to the Settings> Android account sections , tap on the name of the Gmail profile configured on the device and tap the Remove account button twice in a row, in order to disassociate it. Do the same for all other Google accounts you have configured, if necessary.

At this point, delete the traces of the old profile by clearing the cache and data of the installed Google apps: to do this, go to Settings> Apps> All apps , locate the item in the Google Play Store , touch the Force stop and OK buttons to temporarily stop its operation and, to delete the data, tap on the Storage space item and then on the Clear storage space and OK buttons .

Finally, go back to the previous menu (the one containing the list of installed apps) and repeat the same operation for the Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music (if present) and Google Play Services (if possible) applications.

Create Australian Google Account

Once you’ve changed your IP address and turned off Location Services, you’re finally ready to create and associate an Australian Google account with your device. To do this, open the Play Store , tap the Login button and tap the Create account item , in order to start creating a new Gmail profile.

Once this is done, choose the For me option and fill in the next form with the requested information: indicate your name , surname and date of birth in the appropriate fields, specify a Gmail address to match your profile and create a secure password to use to make the access.

Now, tap the Skip and Not Now items to avoid associating a phone number with the account, tap the Next button and put the check mark next to the items I accept the Google Terms of Service and the Google Play Terms of Service and I accept the processing of my data as described above and as explained in the privacy regulations . Finally, tap the Create account , Accept and No buttons to finish creating the profile, associate it with the device and avoid receiving updates and promotions.

Download Hay Day Pop on Android

As a last step, check that the newly associated account is in use from Australia: to do this, from the Play Store, swipe from the left edge of the screen towards the center, touch the Account item from the menu displayed and verify that, in correspondence of the Country and Profiles section , the wording Australia is present with a green check mark.

Once this has been checked, you can proceed with the download of Hay Day Pop: go back to the main page of the Play Store, tap the search bar at the top, type the title of the game and tap the most relevant result. Finally, tap the Install button and that’s it! If you are reading this guide from the device through which you intend to act, you can speed up the download procedure by visiting this link .

After downloading the game, you can restore the Italian Play Store by disconnecting the previously created account from Android and re-matching your Italian Gmail profile: if you don’t know how, take a look at my guide on how to restore the Play Store , in which I explained everything to you in great detail.

How to install Hay Day Pop on iPhone

The steps to install Hay Day Pop on iPhone are slightly simpler than those seen for Android: in fact, no change of the IP address is necessary, as it is possible to proceed by specifying “manually” the country of interest (in this case, Australia). However, I warn you immediately that, for the success of the procedure, you will need a valid telephone number (including Italian) in order to be able to complete the two-factor authentication.

To proceed, therefore, access this page of the Apple site , touch the link Create your Apple ID and fill in the form that is proposed to you with the requested information: the country to associate the Apple ID with (in this case, the Australia ), your first name , last name and date of birth , a password to use to log in, an email address not associated with other Apple IDs, and a phone number to use for authentication and password recovery.

When you are finished, choose whether or not to receive news and announcements from Apple by checking the appropriate boxes; enter the security code displayed on the screen in the appropriate box and press the Continue button to go to the next step, which consists of checking the data entered: when prompted, enter the verification code that should have been sent to you by email in the meantime, repeat the operation with the authentication code received later via SMS and that’s it!

At this point, all you have to do is dissociate the Italian Apple ID from the iPhone and associate the one you just created: to do this, go to the Settings menu > [your name] of iOS, press the Exit button at the bottom of the page, enter the password of the Apple ID in question (if you do not remember it, you can recover it by following these instructions) and press the Deactivate and Exit buttons twice consecutively, in order to complete the operation.

Once this is done, you can proceed with the association of the Australian Apple ID created previously: to do this, open the iOS Settings again , tap on the item Log in on iPhone , enter the email address associated with the Apple ID created previously, tap on Next and, in the same way, enter the login password . Now, tap the Accept button twice in a row, enter the iPhone unlock code and tap the Don’t Merge button , thus avoiding associating the data already on the device to the new account.

At this point, start the App Store , tap the Continue and Search buttons , search for Hay Day Pop using the appropriate field and access the game page by touching the box relating to the most relevant result.

After this step too, tap the Get button to start the game download, enter the Australian Apple ID password and tap the Review button to start the account verification phase: move the lever corresponding to the Agree item to ON to Terms and Conditions and, after verifying that the country indicated in the top drop-down menu is Australia , touch the Next item located at the top.

Now, skip adding a new payment method by selecting the None item in the Payment Method box , enter the information on the billing address and telephone number and, finally, finish everything by touching the Next and Continue buttons .

If you do not have an Australian address and telephone number, you can generate some random ones using the fakenamegenerator.com site : all you have to do is access the home page of the service, select the country of your interest (in this case, the ‘ Australia ) from the drop-down menu provided and touch the Generate button .

If everything went well, you should find yourself again in the presence of the Hay Day Pop App Store page: press the Get and Install buttons again , enter the password of the Australian Apple ID created previously and finish everything by pressing the button Install . Once the installation is complete, you can safely return to the Italian App Store by following the steps I indicated in my tutorial dedicated to the topic.
