Q: Much to loose on the move??

I considering to update my billing from now Germany to my home for the past 15years, Malaysia. The first hurdle is the un-subscribtion of Apple Music. I would loose previous purchased Albums and currently saved music on my devices.

 

Bigger question are installed Apps, I'm worried that some of the App's which aren't available in Malaysian store, could be gone as well.

 

Can I change my billing but remain in the german store?

    Installed Apps will not disappear by changing countries. They will remain along with all other purchases physically on the computer. If your purchased albums and music are physically downloaded to the computer it will remain there, and be accessible and playable.

     

    Apps may not be updateable if they are not available in the Malaysian store however.

     

    What will happen, is that you will not be able to see your Purchased history from the German store in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store or iTunes. while your account region is set to Malaysia. 

     

    Music downloaded from the Apple Music subscription service, but not actually bought from iTunes, may not be playable if it is not available in the Malaysian store.
