Clapper is the growing social media app in the United States but sadly it is not available in every country.
Despite of having millions monthly active users, there are still other billions of people who can’t use it in their region/locality.
If the Clapper app is not available in your country/region the issue can be of Government regulations, Market size, Subscription based model, Developer restriction, or selected locations.
We will look into this topic in detail and I will give you one simple solution for this problem in this article.
4 Possible Reasons Behind Clapper App Not Available in Every Country
First, we will take a look at the few things that prevent you from finding and using Clapper in your area.
1. Government Regulations
Every government has its own rules and regulations that its people need to follow.
In other words, if your government has restricted some things in your region then you can’t forcefully regulate it by breaking rules.
So, in terms of the Clapper app, it is a 17+ adult social media platform where its content can be inappropriate for children under 17 years old.
For example, when I first started using the app I found its content (videos) is not something like TikTok which contain videos of dancing, meme, childish, prank, and more.
I can see some mature videos that are only related to or appropriate for adult people. That’s because underage people usually don’t relate to that stuff.
Besides, Clapper also has a live feature that allows you to go live from your account. And the interesting thing is most of the streams have 18+ or sexual content.
So, this is why other countries may not allow their people to use the app.

2. Market Size
Social media is meant to be funny, engaging, and connect people together.
But if your platform is all about the adult stuff then you will definitely lose tons of users or audience.
Like I said earlier, having 17+ videos won’t attract the audience in the market all the time because people will get bored of it at one time or another.
So, Clapper’s audience size is small which is roughly 2 million monthly active users than 1 billion monthly users of Tiktok.
If there a fewer amount of users in the market then it’s not worth it to launch it globally.
3. Subscription Based Model
You should know that Clapper uses a subscription-based model in their live streaming.
And one reason why Clapper is famous is because of streaming services like on Instagram or Kik and short video features like TikTok.
If you want to send tips or gifts to someone on live then you have to purchase Clapper coins that start from $0.99 for 70 coins to $249.99 for 17500 coins.
So, not everyone can afford the subscription feature because of money or the payment gateway system of their country.
If creators can’t get enough gifts or tips from their visitors then they can’t earn money.
And, if creators won’t be able to properly earn money on their live stream then they will stop using the app and start switching to other subscription-based apps like Kik, Bigo, and more.
This will be a bad thing and loss for Clapper losing tons of its users or streamers if their plan doesn’t go well.
4. Selected Countries/Regions
The Clapper app originated or was developed in the United States.
So when the developers made something in their country, they first tested it out in their location. But remember, this is not applicable to all social media or other apps.
When the tested result comes good and starts to gain the audience then it will be available in other countries as well.
Now, Clapper is only available in 44 countries out of 195.
The popularity of the particular app depends on the size of the market in its niche.
Therefore, maybe there are not enough users who are used to the app like Clapper and its features in your region.

How to Download and Use Clapper App If Not Available in Your Country for iPhone and Android
The best way to fix the Clapper app if it’s not available in your region’s Apps Store and Google Play Store is to get a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
Some of you might already know that a VPN is used to unlock or remove restrictions over apps, websites, or web content.
When you activate a VPN on your device or computer it will simply change your location and hide your online presence.
So, you can set your current region using a VPN to the country where the Clapper is available. Thenafter download it to your device.
Note: You have to get the app developed by Clapper Media Group Inc., not by Abhinandan Chakraborty.
Now this is how you can fix ‘this app is not available in your region on iPhone and Android’.
- Download any VPN app from the Apps Store and Google Play Store.
- Install and launch a VPN on your device.
- Connect the VPN to the United States (US) location.
- Open the “Google Play Store” or “Apps Store”.
- Search for “Clapper App” by Clapper Media Group Inc.
- Tap on the “Install” button.
- Tap on the “Open” button.
Next, you can launch the app and create an account on Clapper while still using the VPN.
When you create an account then turn off the VPN and continue without it.
But sometimes, you may still have to use a VPN. Because it shows an error ‘Please check your internet’ error because the app is not developed for your region.
Do You Always Have to Turn on a VPN While Using Clapper in a Restricted Country?
Using a VPN for the Clapper app depends on its availability on the regional app store and Google Play store.
If you are getting the app in a restricted area then you have to use a VPN; otherwise, it will show a ‘Please check your internet (3001)’ error message and will have a black screen.
Even if you manage to get into your account without error, the app will load quite slowly which will make you irritate immediately even with high internet speed.
But if you can install the app in your country without restriction then you don’t have to get a VPN on your phone.
