Changing your App Store country is necessary when you move to a new country or region. This update allows you to purchase apps and access content that's specific or available only in your new location. To change your country, go to your device's Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store > your Apple ID > View Apple ID > Country/Region. Remember, you must cancel any subscriptions and spend any remaining credit before you can change your country. Also, have a payment method ready for your new country.
