Are you living in the UK but can’t access apps, music, TV shows, or movies that should be available in the country? Do you get charged in dollars or euros instead of pounds? This guide is for you. We’ll show you a simple way to switch your iPhone and iPad’s App Store to UK so that you can buy and enjoy content at British prices.
The Geographical Troubleshooting
Do you see US-specific apps or media on your App Store? Your iPhone or iPad thinks that you’re located in the US, and you can’t buy UK-specific apps or media. Moreover, you need a US-registered credit card to purchase anything. The solution is easy: update your Apple ID account.
How to Log in to Your Account
Launch your Settings app, press the “iTunes & App Store” button and touch your Apple ID at the top of the screen. Enter your password or use Touch ID to open the View Apple ID menu.
Account Settings
After signing in, choose the “Country/Region” option and tap “Change Country or Region”. Scroll through the list, select your desired location, agree to the terms and conditions, and confirm agreement. Verify your payment details, including your phone number, street, and zip code. That’s it! You’re now in the British App Store with British apps and games at British prices.
If you experience any problems updating your account, try restarting your iPhone or iPad and following the same process again. If you still can’t update it, try logging out of your account, restarting your device, and signing in again.
