Unlike Android OS, where you can easily change Google Play Store country with a simple tweak,
[5]
Apple’s App Store doesn’t have an easier way to change country in App Store.
[9]
And the bad thing is: you can only download apps from App Store of your country.
[15]
So how will you download iPhone apps that are not available in your country.
[19]
The one word answer is: change country in App Store.
[23]
But how?
[24]
In this video, we’ll find it out.
[26]
Welcome to TechReviewPro!

Now without wasting any more time, let’s jump into the tutorial to learn how to change
[59]
country in App Store without credit card.
[63]
First thing first, Apple already allows you to change your country in iTunes which you
[67]
can do by going to settings, then tapping on your Profile picture or name.
[73]
Here, you’ll get options to edit various details like name, phone number, email, then
[80]
password and security, payment details etc. along with other settings related to Apple
[86]
ID like iCloud, iTunes & App Store, Share My Location, Family Sharing etc.
[93]
But since we want to update country in App Store, we need to tap on iTunes & App Store.
[99]
Now on the next page, we’ll tap on Apple ID and it’ll show these options - view Apple
[105]
ID, Sign Out, iForgot and Cancel.
[108]
We’ll tap on View Apple ID and within a few seconds, it’ll load Account details.
[117]
Now from this page, you may tap on Country/Region to change your country or region in the App
[123]
Store.
[124]
But, since I have Apple Music subscription active right now, so I’ll wait until I cancel
[130]
my subscription before I can change country in App Store.
[134]
Also, if you have any credit balance in your account, you’ll need to spend your credit
[138]
balance before you can change country in App Store.
[141]
This is the easiest way to change country in App Store, but you’ll require a credit
[145]
card to update billing details of new country.
[147]
And, the problem with this is: if you change your country in iTunes using this method,
[152]
you’ll lose all the purchases made from the App Store of previous country because
[157]
Apple has different App Store for each country.
[159]
So I won’t recommend you the default way to change your country in iTunes.
[162]
A better way to change country in App Store
[165]
and download items that are not available in your country is:
[168]
Creating a new Apple Id for country which you want to set as new default country for
[172]
App Store and iTunes.
[174]
To do so, open App Store and from the homepage, tap on your profile icon located in the top
[182]
right corner, this will open your account details with options to view purchases, redeem
[188]
gift code, add funds to Apple ID etc.
[192]
But you need to tap on your profile picture of the existing Apple ID,
[196]
which will open account settings.
[199]
From this page, tap on Apple ID and this will open official page to edit
[205]
and manage your Apple ID.
[208]
But we need to scroll all the way down to the bottom, where it has got ā€œCreate your
[213]
Apple IDā€ link.
[214]
Simply tap on it, and now create a new Apple ID for the new country from where you want
[220]
to download the app.
[221]
For example, Spotify is a popular music app which is not yet available in India, hopefully,
[227]
it’ll launch in India later this month but I’ll download it right now in India before
[232]
the official launch.
[234]
Since it’s available in the US, so I’ll create an account with region set as the United
[238]
States.
[239]
I’ll fill out all the necessary details, and create a new Apple ID.
[244]
It may take some time, so I’ll fast forward this and will catch you later.
[248]
Alright, now I have created a new Apple ID with the country set as the United States.
[254]
So my Apple ID is now eligible for purchases in the US.
[257]
But before that, I’ll need to go to App Store and tap on my profile picture located
[263]
in the top right corner.
[265]
Now, I’ll sign out of my existing account which is only authorized to download apps
[270]
from the Indian App Store.
[271]
Now I’ll log in to the App Store with the newly created Apple ID.
[276]
Alright, now I can download any apps from the US-based App Store.
[280]
Search for Spotify, and wow!
[284]
Now Spotify Music is available for download.
[286]
So that’s how you can change country in App Store without credit card and download
[291]
any items not available in your country.
[294]
And if you ever need to add credit balance to your newly created Apple ID, or if it asks
[299]
you to update billing method, you can do that as well without credit card.
[303]
Simply purchase a gift card from Amazon and choose for email delivery.
[308]
You’ll get a gift code that you may easily redeem to purchase items as well.
