Here’s the way to download the update on mobile as well as PC.
Mobile
You’ll get the pre-installation of Genshin Impact 2.1 on your mobile phone in easy ways. However, both ways will save you from playing the game while the game’s resources are being pre-installed. It means you can complete any challenge or domain before the installation.
iOS users can update their game from the App store, and similarly, Android users can update from Google Play Store. However, follow the following any of the ways to get pre-installation of Genshin Impact 2.1.
