Install iPhone app not available in your country
This is a guide to install iPhone apps that are not available in your country. The method is quick and easy. You don’t have to create a new iCloud account or using VPN. So let’s get started.
Step 1: Change your iCloud location
Your iCloud location is what determines where your store location is. So by changing its location, you can download any applications that are available in the country you change to.
Before changing iCloud location
You need to make sure there is no subscription binding to your current location such as Apple Music. If you have, please unsubscribe it first and wait until the subscription to end before you can change the location of your iCloud.
Alright, that’s it for prerequisites. Now let’s change the location.
Changing Location
- Go to your Setting > Apple ID (The first one on the list)
2. Go to Payment & Shipping > Add Payment Method > Click on Country/Region, it will ask you to continue or cancel. Click on Continue.
3. Then another screen pop up, Click on Country/Region > Click on Change Country or Region then scroll to find any country you want to change to. I’ll use U.S. as an example.
Next, the Terms and Conditions will pop up, click agree since you will agree on it anyway.
Noted that you will select Payment method to None so that you don’t have to fill in payment method information. You will then need to fill in U.S. address.
Address Information?
If you do not have the exact one, you can use this fakename generator to generate a fake address for temporary use. The following information will be used.
Now fill in information.
Then Click Done. Now head into your App Store and find the application you want to download.
Step 2: Change your Phone Location (Optional)
This step is required only when after step 1 is not working, then you will need to change your phone location as well.
To change your phone location, go to Setting > General > Language & Region > Region then choose the region the same as Step 1. In this case, it U.S.
Then go to your store again, you will find the application you want to download.
Step 3: Change location back to previous location (both iCloud and Phone)
Don’t forget to change your location back to the original one after you install applications to keep things clean and do not worry, the applications you have just installed will still work fine even though you change the location back to original.
There you go, installing any applications that are not available in your country with only 3 steps (1 actually).
