How to change your location on iPhone Appstore
A quick guide to changing your region on the iPhone App Store to access apps and content from other countries.
In today’s article, I’m going to show you how to change the App Store country or region of your iPhone. This is important, especially if you’re moving around from country to country or if you’re trying to download an app that is restricted in your country or region.
Steps To Change Your Location on iPhone Appstore
- First off, to do this, you’re going to open the App Store.
- Then make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi or have a SIM card installed because you’ll need the internet to do this.
- Once you’ve done that, open up the App Store. On iOS 14 (and similar versions).
- Click on the profile icon. Then, click on your name or account name, and you might be prompted to sign in to your account.
- Once you’ve entered the password, hit “Sign In.”
You’ll now see your account details, and you can change your country or region by selecting the appropriate option.
- If it doesn’t come up, try selecting “Country or Region” again, and this time it should show.
- Click “Change Country or Region,” and you’ll be able to select your new region.
For most people, selecting the United States is a good choice because a lot of apps are available there. However, if you’re in a different country, you can choose accordingly.
After selecting your region, you’ll be asked to agree to the terms and conditions. Click “Agree.”
Next Steps
You’ll need to fill out some information again. For example, you don’t need a credit card or debit card if requested, so you can simply select “None.”
For the United States, you can enter an address. You don’t need the actual address—just look up a random address. You can use “New Jersey, New York” as an example. Select New York as the state and find the zip code for the region you’re selecting. You can also enter a phone number, or select your own number, and hit “Next.”
Once you hit “Next,” you have successfully changed the country or region of your App Store. Now, you should be able to download the app you need. If you’re moving around frequently, you can always come back here and select another country whenever needed.
