At the end of 2024, many users of iPhones and other devices faced the fact that they could not register new Google accounts . The company sent confirmation codes in SMS messages, but they did not arrive. Then the only way out was to use an Android smartphone, but not everyone had one. Relatively recently, a new method appeared that will allow you to create a Google account in Russia . Moreover, it will not be tied to any specific phone number, which is very convenient for many.

Creating a Google account in Russia is now possible without any problems

To create a Google account in Russia , you will need a computer and a smartphone with any phone number, even one that is already linked to an account. Now you will not have to receive a confirmation code from Google , but you will send it to the company yourself. Therefore, be prepared to pay for an SMS message. I have a T-Mobile operator, and I paid 7.80 for an SMS. Therefore, I recommend keeping a small amount on the account. Although some users report that if you have an already paid SMS package, it is used up and money is not withdrawn. In any case, registering a Google account in Russia has become easy and simple:

1. Open the Google website on your computer using any browser ;
2. In the upper right corner, click the "Login" button;


Start creating an account for personal use

3. At the bottom, click “Create Account” and select “For Personal Use”;
4. Enter your first and last name, date of birth, select an email address and create a password;


Scan the provided QR code

5. When the QR code appears on the screen , scan it with your iPhone;
6. The message "Confirm phone number" will appear on the screen, click the "Send SMS" button. Please note that it may be paid;


Send SMS from your smartphone

7. Send the message and return to your computer, if your account is successfully activated, you will proceed to the next step;
8. Complete your Google account registration .

The phone number you used to send the SMS was not linked to your account.

Right after that, you can go to personal information and notice that there is no phone number inside the Google account . You can link it or not if you want. Enjoy!
