How to change your Apple App Store country

What you should know first

Before changing your Apple App Store country, there are a few things that you should know first. Firstly, changing your country will switch the currency used in the store to the one used in your new region. This means that any remaining balance on your account will be converted into the new currency.

Secondly, if you have an active subscription for an app or service, it may not transfer over to the new store. You might need to cancel and re-subscribe again using your new payment method.

Thirdly, some apps may not be available in certain regions due to licensing restrictions or censorship laws. Therefore, switching regions may limit some of the app options available to you.

Keep in mind that there is a limit to how often you can change countries within a year. So make sure you’re aware of this before making any changes.

Now that we’ve covered what you should know before proceeding with changing your App Store country let’s move onto how it’s done!

How to change your Apple App Store country

Are you looking to download an app that’s only available in a different country’s Apple App Store? Or maybe you’ve moved to a new country and want to switch your App Store accordingly? Whatever the reason, changing your Apple App Store country is actually quite simple. Here’s how:

Firstly, ensure that you’re signed out of any Apple services like iCloud, iTunes or iMessage. Then open up the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and scroll down until you see your Apple ID at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it and select “View Apple ID”.

You’ll be prompted to sign in with your current account details before being taken to an Account Settings page. From here, tap on “Country/Region” and then select the new region from the list provided. You’ll need to review and accept any terms & conditions for the new store before continuing.

Add a valid payment method for this new region – this could be a credit/debit card registered in that country or even just an iTunes gift card purchased online. Once saved, you can now browse apps exclusively available in this region’s store!

Changing countries may affect access to previously purchased content so it’s important to backup all data beforehand!
