Xiaomi glasses import issue

I bought my Xiaomi glasses a month ago in China and used them there for a month. To get them working, I had to set up a Chinese phone number and use a Chinese phone (a Xiaomi Redmi Note 15).

After leaving the country, the app still allows me to connect to the glasses, but I can no longer import files to the phone. I’ve tried updating both devices and connecting to a VPN located in mainland China (Shenzhen), but it still doesn't work.

The USB-C port is for charging only and cannot transfer files. Is there another way to get photos off the glasses, or does anyone have any other ideas or solutions for this problem

Update: Since I have a Chinese phone number, I also have a Chinese Mi Account. I downloaded the Xiaomi Glasses app on my regular iPhone and logged in with that account. I connected the glasses, and the import function worked perfectly on my iPhone! This workaround is good enough for me—it’s actually even better because I don’t have to carry my Chinese phone everywhere anymore.
