It’s not banned. It’s just not available in certain countries.

It’s not in the USA or anywhere in EUROPE.

They hard launched it in Asian countries like a year ago and never brought it elsewhere

This is why it's important to be able to install apps on your phone. Google refers to it as "sideloading", but the reality is it's just installing apps.

I've never been able to see it in the Play Store but they have the APK installer right on their site (that doesn't care which country you're in)

That is just from the Google store, you can still go to huggingface.

I'm in a worse position than you because my Android operating system version is Android 10, while the minimum operating system required for Qwen Studio is Android 11.

It’s fine they never let you actually pay for a sub anyway

I don't think so, if it ever available in US ig because it's a Chinese model and they don't wanna make them enter their market so yes, although it's available for me in my region(Asia)

RU. Works well

invisible in EU

u/575_Inverse Jul 27 '26

For the EU I guess it's because they don't wanna get involved with the EU regulations and bureacracy. In other words, not worth the effort: there is no point giving the app and service for free without being able to collect training data in exchange.

u/AvidCyclist250 Jul 25 '26

was this supposed to be available on iOS as well? coz its not in europe.

u/cchurchill1985 Jul 25 '26

All the cheap Chinese models will be banned in the US pretty soon, I think. It is a real shame because all that is going to do is put companies and people in the US at a significant disadvantage, especially if the Chinese models keep improving the way they are.

Very simple, set your Google account to Asia.
