You cannot change the region originally registered on your Call of Duty: Mobile account, and Activision support cannot adjust it for you. This is the direct, official answer to anyone searching how to change region in COD Mobile, and it applies to all players on both iPhone and Android.
Can you change region in COD Mobile?
The official answer from Activision is no. The region you originally registered on your Call of Duty: Mobile account is permanent. Activision support cannot change it, and there is no in-game setting, menu path, or button that allows you to do so. Any guide that claims to show official steps for changing your registered region is incorrect, because no such steps exist.
What the official Activision support page says
Activision's official support page states that the company cannot change the region in which the account was originally registered. It also cannot offer different store prices or change existing offers or discounts tied to that region. Players always connect to the nearest physical servers, regardless of the region on their account. Changing the registered region does not affect game performance, matchmaking, or gameplay experience. The only documented limit is that the originally registered region cannot be changed by support.
Why changing your registered region wouldn't help anyway
Because you connect to the closest physical servers based on your actual location, not your account's registered region, changing that registration would not improve lag, matchmaking, or your overall gameplay experience. Even if a region change were possible, it would not let you access different servers, reduce ping, or find matches faster. The registered region only affects store pricing and offers, not the servers you play on.
What you can actually do instead
If your goal is to play with friends abroad or access content in another region, there are honest workarounds that do not involve changing your existing account's region. Changing your region will reset your progress and you will need to start from scratch. Changing your region can affect your ability to play with friends from different regions. If you and your friends are in different regions, you may not be able to join each other's games or play together.
Create a new account tied to a different region
The only reliable way to have an account registered in a different region is to create a new Call of Duty: Mobile account while physically in that region, or while using a method that places your registration there. This means starting from scratch with no progress, purchases, or unlocks from your original account.
Use a VPN to connect to different servers
A VPN can route your connection through a server in another country, which may let you play on that region's servers. However, this violates Activision's Terms of Service and carries the risk of account penalties, including suspension or banning. It also does not change your account's registered region, and it may introduce additional lag.
Link your accounts properly
If you create a new account in a different region, you can use COD Mobile account linking to connect it to a social platform or Activision account. The official support page for COD Mobile account linking is found under COD Mobile Account and Settings Help. This allows you to manage multiple accounts, but progress and purchases do not transfer between them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can support change my region?
No.
Will a VPN let me change regions?
A VPN can make it appear that you are connecting from a different location, which may let you play on different servers. It does not change your account's registered region, and using a VPN violates the game's Terms of Service, which can lead to account suspension.
Does changing my app store region affect COD Mobile?
Changing your Apple App Store or Google Play Store region does not change the region registered on your Call of Duty: Mobile account. It may affect which version of the app you download, but your in-game account region remains the same.
Can I transfer progress to a new region account?
No. Progress, purchases, unlocks, and rank cannot be transferred between accounts registered in different regions. If you create a new account in another region, you start over completely.
