Account

Accounts in Genshin Impact hold the data of the character's progress throughout the game.
Accounts on the global servers can be created using a HoYoverse Account, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple ID, or Game Center,HoYoverse News: Genshin Impact Official Release FAQ and on the Chinese server using a miHoYo Account, TapTap or Bilibili.
Players can participate in Co-Op Mode with players from other platforms, but not with those on different servers.
Players on PC, iOS and Android can change servers on the title screen. If the account already created a character on one server, the progress from the original server do not transfer to the new server, so the new server's character starts new. Both characters on both servers progress independently. The only thing connecting the two characters is the login method.
