Have you ever travelled abroad and realized you couldn’t download your favourite apps? Or maybe you moved to a new country, and suddenly, the App Store looks completely different.
It’s frustrating when you can’t access the apps you want just because of your location. The good news is you can change your App Store location in just a few easy steps.
In this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn how to change app store location to unlock region-restricted apps and content.
There are a few key reasons why you might want to change your App Store location:
The main reason is to download apps or games unavailable in your home country’s App Store. For example, certain apps may only be released in specific regions due to licensing restrictions. You can access and download these exclusive apps by switching your App Store to another country.
Some apps have special features that are only enabled in certain countries. For instance, ride-sharing and food delivery apps work differently in various regions. Changing your location gives you access to localized app features.
If you travel abroad, you may find that some of your usual apps don’t work due to geoblocking restrictions. Switching to the local App Store can let you use your apps seamlessly while travelling.
Ready to unlock the full potential of your iPhone’s App Store? Follow these easy steps to change your location:
On your iOS device, open the Settings app and tap your name at the top of the screen. It will bring you to your Apple ID account details.
Under your name, tap “Media & Purchases”. This is where your App Store and iTunes settings are located.
On the Media & Purchases screen, tap “View Apple ID”. You may need to sign in with your Apple ID password.
Finally, tap “Country/Region” and select your new country from the list. Agree to the Terms & Conditions prompt to complete the change.
That’s all there is to it! The App Store will refresh with the apps and content available in your new region.
Switching regions to download region-locked apps is perfectly allowed according to Apple’s terms of service. As long as you’re not trying to circumvent paying for apps, you’re good!
Nope! Changing your App Store location only affects the App Store. Your iCloud account, purchased music, movies, etc. will all still work normally.
Don’t worry, your existing apps, downloads, and app data will stay on your device and remain accessible. Just redownload any apps not available in your new region.

You can access and download apps restricted to other App Store countries in just minutes. Don’t let geographic limitations stop you from enjoying the best apps. Try changing your location today to unlock the full App Store experience!
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
