How to change country for App Store?

I'm trying to get an app from the Australian app store, but all of the Apple documentation still refers to iTunes... which doesn't exist any more.

iPhone 8

Click on the link and read how to "Change your Apple ID country or region" - https://support.apple.com/HT201389


Realize that doing the above is a fairly significant undertaking. You shouldn't do it just to get one app. You may also discover problems such as possibly requiring a valid for of payment from Australia.

Are you doing this on an iPhone (the forum to which you posted)? There is zero mention of iTunes.


On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


  1. Open the Settings app. 
  2. Tap your name, then tap iTunes & App Store.
  3. Tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. You might be asked to sign in.

  4. Tap Country/Region.

  5. Tap "Change Country or Region." If you don't see "Change Country or Region," contact Apple Support.
  6. Tap your new country or region, then review the Terms & Conditions.
  7. Tap Agree in the upper-right corner, then tap Agree again to confirm.
  8. Select a payment method and enter your new payment information and
  9. billing address, then tap Next. You must enter a valid payment method
  10. for your new country or region.



On a computer it says open iTunes or the Music app.
