How can I change app store country?
If you’re looking to access apps, games, or content that are not available in your current country’s App Store, changing your app store country can be a great solution. Whether you’re traveling abroad, living in a country with limited app availability, or simply curious about the content in other regions, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change your app store country.
1. Backup your current data
Before making any changes to your App Store country, it’s important to backup your current data. This ensures that you don’t lose any important information or purchases. To backup your data, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup, and make sure that the “iCloud Backup” option is enabled. Then, tap “Backup Now” to create a backup of your data.
2. Sign out of your current Apple ID
Next, you’ll need to sign out of your current Apple ID. This is necessary to ensure that you can create a new Apple ID for the new country. To sign out, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iTunes & App Store, and tap on your Apple ID at the top of the screen. Then, tap “Sign Out” and enter your password when prompted.
3. Create a new Apple ID for the desired country
Now that you’ve signed out of your current Apple ID, it’s time to create a new one for the country you want to access the App Store in. To do this, go to the App Store and tap on your Apple ID at the top of the screen. Then, tap “Sign In” and choose “Create New Apple ID.” Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new Apple ID, making sure to select the country you want to access the App Store in.
4. Verify your new Apple ID
After creating your new Apple ID, you’ll need to verify it. This usually involves entering a verification code sent to your email or phone number. Follow the instructions provided to verify your Apple ID.
5. Set up your new Apple ID in the App Store
Once your new Apple ID is verified, go back to the App Store and sign in with your new credentials. You’ll be prompted to set up your new Apple ID in the App Store. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
6. Download and enjoy the content
With your new Apple ID set up, you should now be able to access the content available in the new country’s App Store. Simply browse the App Store, search for the apps or games you’re interested in, and download them to your device.
Remember to keep your original Apple ID and backup data safe, as you may need them in the future. Also, note that some apps and content may have different prices or be unavailable in certain regions, so be sure to check the details before making purchases. Happy app hunting!
