Changing country on iPhone

Hi,


I recently moved to Netherlands and wanted to change the country on my phone to use my internet provider’s app. My phone said I needed to cancel my active apple music subscription. I did that but I had subscribed to a 1 year subscription back in India, which will go on for another 5 months.


Now my phone keeps saying that I need to cancel active subscriptions and won’t allow me to change the country. This is so weird!


Is there a workaround? I’ve read posts on this forum dating back to 2015!!! Has apple not fixed this in all these years? Does it mean I will have to wait 5 months to be able to change my country and be able to use local apps?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

Hi khosla09,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you've cancelled a subscription but you paid for the year and now you're having trouble changing your country. We'd like to assist. This article does state you need to wait until the subscription ends:


Change your Apple ID country or region


If you have further questions, you may consider contacting Apple Support here:
