How to Change Country on the iTunes and App Store

Monday, May 26, 2014

For iOS device and Mac (and PC) owners, while the digital stores (App Store and iTunes Store) available on their devices offer an incredibly varied selection of apps and media, sometimes these are restricted to certain countries or have features available only in certain ones.
For example, movies available in the U.S. iTunes Store are available in English, while those available on Latin American iTunes Stores come in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles. Likewise, some companies make their iOS apps available only in their home territories, which will require you to have access to the stores from those countries.
This is exactly what we’ll show you today. So read along to learn how to change the country of the App Store or iTunes Store on your devices to download apps and media from them.
Important Note: The steps below can be performed on any iOS device, be it an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

On Your iOS Devices

Step 1: Head to your iPhone’s Settings app, scroll down and tap on the iTunes & App Store option.




















Step 2: The first thing you will see at the top of the next screen is your Apple Store ID (this might be different from your Apple ID if you set it up that way). Tap on it and then, on the Sign Outoption. This will get you completely out of the store on your iOS device.

Important Note: Even if you sign out of your country’s App Store and log into another’s, all the apps you downloaded with the previous account will remain on your iOS device.
Step 3: Now, head to the App Store on your iOS device and search for the app you would like to download. Try to download it and you will be prompted to either use an existing Apple ID or to create a new one. Select the latter.

Step 4: On the following screen you will start your new account creation process by selecting your country of residence. Here, choose the country of the app you want to download. Then, agree to the terms and conditions.

Step 5: Next, add an email address exclusive to that account. Remember that the same email address cannot be linked to two or more different iTunes Store accounts. So you might need to create a new one. Then add the password and fill up the rest of the required information.

Step 6: On the next screen, when prompted to add a payment method, select ‘None’ from the the available options. Then verify your account from your email and head back to the App Store to start downloading.

Step 3: To use the store though, you’ll have to log into it with your account details specific to that store. But you already have them thanks to creating a new account on your iOS device, don’t you?
