I am in China (China blocks everything Google, including the app store (Play store)).
I installed the Mullvad app on my phone (and computer) prior to coming. I can connect and use Google and Youtube and Reddit.
Using Mullvad on the phone. Trying to download an app from google play store, just get an endless "waiting" spinning circle.
However, on my phone, when I try to install a new app, or update an old app, I simply get an endless "pending" message (for installations) or "waiting for wifi" message (for updates).
Also noticed an app that I originally used issue free in America can now detect that I am in China and demands that I register with my real name and phone number (in America all that was required was email address). Although I can connect to Youtube and other sites that would normally not be possible in China, it's still clear this app is getting my true location data.
How can I fix these Mullvad issues?
