Recovery Contact App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 恢复联系人 & 账号恢复联系人 zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS security, password-manager, family-safety, and account-hardening app developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:

• Market Apple Recovery Contact — trusted-person account recovery under Settings → Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts for buyers who nominate someone they trust
• Describe Add Recovery Contact, Account Recovery Contact, trusted recovery person, or help regain Apple ID when password forgotten on the en-US product page with terms like 恢复联系人, 账号恢复联系人, 添加恢复联系人, 受信任的恢复联系人, or 账户恢复 in mind for China buyers
• Finished honest account-recovery positioning or Recovery Contact enrollment documentation in the US listing — not looking for Apple ID API engineering or recovery-flow implementation help here
• Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on Recovery Contact gallery frames
• Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for account recovery servers, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch

If your lead feature is a 28-character Recovery Key the user stores offline — not a trusted person — that is a separate Sign-In & Security option with 恢复密钥 vocabulary; do not conflate with Recovery Contact on this page. If you market Two-Factor Authentication trusted devices and verification codes, see Two-Factor Authentication listing (zh-Hans). If you market Advanced Data Protection for iCloud end-to-end encryption — where Recovery Contact may be a prerequisite but iCloud encryption is the lead — see Advanced Data Protection listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Recovery Contact on the Apple Account vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume account-recovery education covers storefront language. Apple ID security settings and App Store Connect actually separate system enrollment from product-page copy:

• Recovery Contact on the Apple Account — optional enrollment under Settings → [your name] → Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts. The user nominates a trusted friend or family member who uses Apple devices; that person can help verify identity and assist account recovery if the user forgets their Apple ID password and loses trusted devices. System account behavior — outside AppLocale scope.
• Recovery Contact invitation and approval — Apple sends an invitation to the nominated contact; both parties complete enrollment on their devices. Apple documents the flows — AppLocale does not send invitations for buyers and does not hold recovery credentials.
• Recovery Contact marketing on the product page — description paragraphs, subtitle positioning, keywords, promotional text, and screenshot overlays that tell buyers your app aligns with Recovery Contact enrollment, educates about trusted recovery persons, or documents honest account-recovery scope. Connect text fields — this page.
• Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China storefront. Separate from language rows.
• App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and screenshot caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of account-recovery positioning in the app.

An app that documents Recovery Contact workflows and a localized China listing are both valuable — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe trusted-person account recovery on the store page, not whether your code performs Apple ID recovery for buyers.

Recovery Contact vs Recovery Key vs Two-Factor Authentication — hard disambiguation

Apple groups several account-recovery and sign-in options under Sign-In & Security. Indie teams conflate them on one product page. AppLocale covers Recovery Contact trusted-person marketing — not the sibling features:

• Recovery Contact (this page) — trusted person with an Apple device who can help regain Apple ID access when the password is forgotten; Add Recovery Contact under Settings → Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts. Gallery frames may show enrollment sheets, trusted-contact badges, or account-recovery walkthroughs. zh-Hans terms: 恢复联系人, 账号恢复联系人, 添加恢复联系人, 受信任的恢复联系人, 账户恢复.
• Recovery Key (different) — 28-character alphanumeric code the user generates and stores offline; 恢复密钥 vocabulary — not a human recovery helper. Do not reuse Recovery Key copy when English only markets Recovery Contact enrollment unless your gallery genuinely shows both.
• Two-Factor Authentication (different) — account-level 2FA with trusted devices and six-digit verification codes during sign-in — 双重认证 vocabulary — not password-forgotten recovery through a nominated contact. See Two-Factor Authentication listing when that is your lead feature.
• Security Keys (different) — physical FIDO2 hardware under Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication → Security Keys — 安全密钥 vocabulary — not Recovery Contact nomination. See Security Keys listing when hardware FIDO is your lead.
• Passkeys & Sign in with Apple (different) — passwordless app login and Continue with Apple badges — separate stories under their own listing pages — not Apple ID Recovery Contact enrollment.

Your gallery may show a Recovery Contact enrollment sheet on one frame and a security dashboard on the next — but listing copy should name each claim accurately per frame. An Add Recovery Contact badge is not a Recovery Key code display, not a Turn On Two-Factor Authentication toggle, and not a Security Key registration flow unless that is what the screenshot shows.

Recovery Contact vs Stolen Device Protection, Advanced Data Protection, Contact Key Verification, and Lockdown Mode

Apple spreads security toggles across Settings. Indie teams keyword-stuff unrelated features. AppLocale covers Recovery Contact listing metadata — link to contrast pages when buyers need disambiguation:

• Stolen Device Protection (different) — optional theft hardening under Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Stolen Device Protection — 失窃设备保护 and 安全延迟 vocabulary — not trusted-person account recovery. See Stolen Device Protection listing when that is your lead feature.
• Advanced Data Protection for iCloud (different lead story) — end-to-end encryption for most iCloud data categories; Recovery Contact may be required before Advanced Data Protection stays on — but ADP listing copy leads with 高级数据保护 and 端到端加密, not Recovery Contact enrollment alone. See Advanced Data Protection listing when iCloud encryption is your hero claim.
• Contact Key Verification (different) — iMessage identity assurance with public verification codes under Settings → Apple Account → Contact Key Verification — 联系人密钥验证 vocabulary — not Apple ID password recovery. See Contact Key Verification listing when that is your lead feature.
• Lockdown Mode, Hide My Email, Safety Check (different) — separate Settings paths with unrelated buyer vocabulary. Do not keyword-stuff those terms when English only markets Recovery Contact under Sign-In & Security.

Security apps may mention several Apple hardening features across one description — but each gallery frame and keyword should match the feature the screenshot actually shows. A Recovery Contact enrollment overlay is not a Stolen Device Protection toggle walkthrough, not an iMessage contact-key alert, and not an Advanced Data Protection iCloud pitch unless that is what the frame depicts.

What Apple Recovery Contact actually does — listing honesty

Apple Recovery Contact lets users nominate a trusted person — typically a friend or family member who uses Apple devices — to help them regain Apple ID access if they forget their password and cannot reach trusted devices. The nominated contact receives an invitation and must accept before enrollment completes. Third-party apps may complement this by educating buyers, aligning security UX with account-recovery expectations, or documenting honest enrollment scope. AppLocale rewrites listing copy from what your US page already claims:

• If your app educates about Recovery Contact — zh-Hans copy can describe why buyers should 添加恢复联系人, what a 受信任的恢复联系人 does, or how 账户恢复 protects families — without claiming your app nominates contacts or performs recovery for buyers.
• If your app aligns with account-recovery workflows — description and screenshot overlays should name the security benefits you deliver (恢复联系人, 账号恢复联系人, trusted recovery person) in commerce-idiomatic Chinese, not generic "never lose access" overclaims.
• Separate Recovery Contact from Recovery Key in copy — a trusted person is not a 28-character 恢复密钥 stored in a safe. Listing vocabulary must follow your English lead feature and gallery frames.
• Separate Recovery Contact from Two-Factor Authentication in copy — 2FA protects day-to-day sign-in with verification codes; Recovery Contact helps when the password is forgotten and trusted devices are unavailable. Do not conflate unless your English source genuinely markets both with equal weight.
• If your US page overclaims — AppLocale aligns zh-Hans strings to your English source; we do not invent broader Recovery Contact scope than your screenshots and description support.

Clear zh-Hans copy helps security-conscious buyers understand your account-recovery story before install. It does not replace Apple ID recovery implementation in the binary, invitation-flow logic, or Apple's review decisions.

Where English Recovery Contact copy shows on the China product page

Security, password-manager, and family-safety apps often lead marketing screenshots with Recovery Contact enrollment sheets, trusted-contact badges, or account-recovery walkthroughs — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside Sign-In & Security UI:

• Screenshot overlay badges — "Recovery Contact", "Add Recovery Contact", "Trusted recovery person", "Account Recovery Contact", "Help regain your Apple ID" on gallery frames
• Description paragraphs — English value props ("Built for Recovery Contact users", "Nominate someone you trust", "Designed for account recovery workflows") that China readers skim past
• Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for 恢复联系人, 账号恢复联系人, 添加恢复联系人, 受信任的恢复联系人, or 账户恢复 when buyers filter for Apple ID recovery apps
• Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching Recovery Contact in English above the description
• Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but Recovery Contact screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
• Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 that conflates 恢复联系人 (Recovery Contact trusted person) with 恢复密钥 (Recovery Key code), 双重认证 (2FA), or 联系人密钥验证 (Contact Key Verification) boilerplate on store pages

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps security-conscious buyers understand your trusted-person recovery story before install. It does not replace account-recovery engineering, Apple ID server logic, or Apple's review decisions.

Recovery Contact–specific vocabulary — what translates differently in zh-Hans

Account-recovery marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general localization guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers evaluate Recovery Contact — not a literal paste of US marketing:

恢复联系人 vs 账号恢复联系人

Apple's Chinese system UI uses 恢复联系人 for the Settings toggle under 登录与安全性. Product-page copy may also use 账号恢复联系人 when emphasizing Apple ID account recovery scope. AppLocale picks the term buyers recognize on each screenshot — a Settings walkthrough needs Settings-aligned phrasing; a benefit headline may use 账号恢复联系人 when accurate to your English source.

添加恢复联系人 (Add Recovery Contact)

US pages use "Add Recovery Contact", "Set up a recovery contact", or "Nominate someone you trust." China storefront copy uses 添加恢复联系人 on frames that walk buyers through enrollment — not 添加安全密钥 unless your English source genuinely markets Recovery Key on that frame.

受信任的恢复联系人 (trusted recovery person)

Recovery Contact requires someone the user trusts who already uses Apple devices. zh-Hans marketing uses 受信任的恢复联系人 or 你信任的人 when describing who can help — not 受信设备 (trusted device for 2FA sign-in) unless your English source genuinely markets both on the same frame.

账户恢复 (account recovery)

When screenshots explain what happens if the user forgets their Apple ID password, listing copy may reference 账户恢复 or 找回 Apple ID — account recovery flows tied to Recovery Contact enrollment. AppLocale aligns phrasing with your actual scope; we do not claim your app performs account recovery for buyers.

Settings path: Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts

Recovery Contact lives under Settings → [your name] → Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts on Chinese iPhones — 设置 → [你的姓名] → 登录与安全性 → 恢复联系人. Screenshot captions that walk buyers to the toggle should use the Chinese settings path buyers see on device — not Face ID & Passcode like Stolen Device Protection, and not iCloud like Advanced Data Protection.

Subtitle and keyword packing

The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need account-recovery search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 恢复联系人, 账号恢复联系人, and 账户恢复 each signal different intent from 恢复密钥, 双重认证, or 联系人密钥验证 keywords.

Caption lines vs burned-in badges

Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Add Recovery Contact" headlines on gallery frames showing Settings → Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts — are separate caption fields or burned-in PNG text. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for caption-field mechanics when overlays are editable in Connect.

Before / after — Recovery Contact listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)

Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Recovery Key, Two-Factor Authentication, Stolen Device Protection, or Contact Key Verification copy:

• Screenshot caption — Before: Add Recovery Contact → After: 添加恢复联系人
• Screenshot caption — Before: Trusted recovery person → After: 受信任的恢复联系人
• Screenshot caption — Before: Help regain your Apple ID → After: 协助找回 Apple ID
• Screenshot caption — Before: Account Recovery Contact → After: 账号恢复联系人
• Screenshot caption — Before: Nominate someone you trust → After: 指定你信任的人
• Description line — Before: Built for buyers who set up Recovery Contact before they forget their password. → After: 为提前添加恢复联系人、避免忘记密码后无法登录的用户打造。
• Subtitle (30 chars) — Before: Apple ID recovery help → After: Apple ID 账户恢复
• Keyword field — Before: Recovery Contact,Account recovery,trusted person,Apple ID → After: 恢复联系人,账号恢复联系人,账户恢复,添加恢复联系人,Apple ID恢复
• Promotional text — Before: Now documents Recovery Contact best practices → After: 现已说明恢复联系人最佳实践

Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Recovery Contact surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Promotional text in Simplified Chinese when your account-recovery pitch lives in promo text rather than the long description.

Common mistakes on Recovery Contact zh-Hans listings

• Leaving "Recovery Contact" untranslated — Apple and buyers expect 恢复联系人 or 账号恢复联系人 in zh-Hans regions; English-only overlay lines on otherwise Chinese copy looks unfinished
• Machine-translated "trusted person" as 信任的人 alone — misses the recovery-contact enrollment sense; align with buyer-facing terms like 受信任的恢复联系人 depending on your UX
• Conflating Recovery Contact with Recovery Key — 恢复密钥 is a 28-character offline code, not a nominated human helper unless your English source genuinely leads with both
• Conflating Recovery Contact with Two-Factor Authentication — 双重认证 sign-in codes are not 恢复联系人 trusted-person recovery unless that is your English lead feature
• Conflating Recovery Contact with Contact Key Verification — iMessage 联系人密钥验证 identity checks are not Apple ID password recovery
• Conflating Recovery Contact with Advanced Data Protection — iCloud 高级数据保护 encryption copy is not Recovery Contact enrollment unless your gallery shows that frame
• Conflating Recovery Contact with Stolen Device Protection — theft-aware 安全延迟 delays are not trusted-person account recovery
• Claiming account recovery in listing copy — product-page copy should describe user-facing recovery benefits, not imply AppLocale or your app performs Apple ID recovery for buyers
• Overpromising recovery outcomes — honest copy describes what your app does when Recovery Contact is enabled on the buyer's account; we do not guarantee buyers add contacts or recover access
• Assuming account-recovery education localizes the store page — engineering and App Store metadata are independent workstreams

What AppLocale delivers for Recovery Contact apps on zh-Hans

This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Recovery Contact and trusted-person account-recovery marketing — paste-ready fields you copy into App Store Connect:

• Name (title) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits when your English title does not signal 恢复联系人 to China searchers
• Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference Recovery Contact or account recovery without stuffing raw English badge text
• Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for 恢复联系人, 账号恢复联系人, 添加恢复联系人, 受信任的恢复联系人, 账户恢复, and Apple ID recovery utility terms in your category
• Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on Recovery Contact and account-recovery features you already ship — without English-only security jargon
• Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
• Screenshot overlay / caption lines — short zh-Hans text on gallery images that show Recovery Contact UI ("恢复联系人", "添加恢复联系人", "受信任的恢复联系人")
• English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on account-recovery promises

We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Recovery Contact, Account Recovery Contact, Add Recovery Contact, trusted recovery person, or help regain Apple ID when password forgotten — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent account-recovery features your app does not ship.

Connect checklist before you order Recovery Contact listing copy

1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans localization row exists; adding China under Pricing and Availability alone does not fill it
2. Audit five text fields — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text (if used) saved in zh-Hans, not placeholder English
3. List screenshot frames that show Recovery Contact UI — note which gallery images show Settings → Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts, Add Recovery Contact sheets, or trusted-contact enrollment so caption lines match frame order
4. Export current English captions — overlay text from Connect or your design spreadsheet, including any "Recovery Contact", "Add Recovery Contact", "Trusted recovery person", or "Help regain your Apple ID" boilerplate
5. Confirm feature scope honestly — note whether your app educates about Recovery Contact enrollment, aligns UX with account-recovery expectations, or documents trusted-person workflows — so zh-Hans copy does not overclaim recovery performance your app does not deliver
6. Confirm in-app UI language separately — plan Xcode string localization if Sign-In & Security labels and recovery dialogs are still English after install
7. Skip engineering tasks here — Apple ID recovery flows, invitation APIs, entitlement review, and Recovery Contact QA stay with your dev team

AppLocale FAQ

What is Apple Recovery Contact?

Recovery Contact is under Settings → [your name] → Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts. Users nominate a trusted person with an Apple device who can help them regain Apple ID access if they forget their password and lose trusted devices. Marketing that awareness on your en-US page does not auto-fill zh-Hans Connect fields.

Does mentioning Recovery Contact auto-translate my China listing?

No. Recovery Contact is a system Apple Account setting on the buyer's account — it does not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. Empty or English zh-Hans fields mean China buyers see en-US fallback on the product page.

What listing fields does AppLocale rewrite for Recovery Contact apps?

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) copy for App Store Connect listing fields you specify: title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines that mention Recovery Contact, Account Recovery Contact, Add Recovery Contact, or trusted recovery person — rewritten from your English originals with terms like 恢复联系人, 账号恢复联系人, 添加恢复联系人, and 受信任的恢复联系人 where accurate.

How is this different from Recovery Key?

Recovery Contact is a trusted person who helps with account recovery — 恢复联系人. Recovery Key is a 28-character offline code — 恢复密钥. They are separate Sign-In & Security options; do not reuse boilerplate across them unless your English source genuinely markets both.

How is this different from Two-Factor Authentication, Security Keys, or Passkeys?

Two-Factor Authentication covers trusted-device sign-in and verification codes — 双重认证. Security Keys cover hardware FIDO registration — 安全密钥. Passkeys cover passwordless iCloud Keychain credentials. Recovery Contact covers password-forgotten account recovery through a nominated trusted person — separate buyer vocabulary.

How is this different from Advanced Data Protection or Contact Key Verification?

Advanced Data Protection leads with iCloud end-to-end encryption — 高级数据保护 — even though Recovery Contact may be a prerequisite. Contact Key Verification leads with iMessage identity assurance — 联系人密钥验证 — not Apple ID password recovery. This page covers Recovery Contact as the lead story.

Does AppLocale perform account recovery or add Recovery Contacts for buyers?

No. We deliver listing metadata copy only. Account recovery, contact nomination, and Sign-In & Security configuration are outside AppLocale scope. We rewrite how you describe existing Recovery Contact features on the store page — we do not implement them in the app or on buyer devices.

What character limits apply to zh-Hans Recovery Contact fields?

App name and subtitle are each up to 30 characters. Keywords allow up to 100 characters. Description and screenshot caption lines have longer limits but should stay concise — especially overlays that must fit on-device mockups.

What do I send after payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing copy, screenshot overlay lines mentioning Recovery Contact or account recovery, target locales (e.g. zh-Hans), and deadline. Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt.

Is this machine translation?

No. We rewrite Recovery Contact and account-recovery listing copy by hand. We do not paste Google Translate or ChatGPT output into deliverables.
