Bypass an app store

Hi. Is there a way to bypass the App Store on an iPhone to download apps? I bought an iPhone in China and when I try to download certain apps (that are banned in China) I get the message ‘This app is not available in your region’. I am currently in a country that does not have restrictions on the internet or apps.

You should have your account set to the country where you reside. The article "Change your Apple ID country or region" describes how to change your country setting on everything using your Apple ID, and the requirements and results of doing this --> Change your Apple ID country or region - Apple Support
