Apple ID issue

Hello, community!

In short: iPhone 11 was purchased in Slovakia (EU), at least yar I used my phone in Slovakia, after that I relocated to my homeland Ukraine. I've changed region of my iPhone, but somehow it didn't work and now my new iPhone 13, which I bought recently, working like as if it was stuck between regions... The regulation of my account shows me UE standards, but my region IS UKRAINE, not Slovakia as it was! For example Instagram working in EU mode, in Ukraine I can't see stories of the friends of mine with music that they add in it, I also can't replay/react to their messages because my InstDirect works like old Direct, but not like cross-messaging with Facebook messenger.

And now I can't even add my card from the Bank...

iPhone 13, iOS 15

You need to change the region to the one that you want.


You need a zero account balance and you need to cancel all your subscriptions. If you have cancelled all subscriptions, but some haven’t expired, contact iTunes Support. You need a valid credit card issued by a bank in the country the store is in and you need a billing address in that country. If you have an account balance, either buy something more expensive and pay the balance with a credit card or contact iTunes Support and ask them to zero balance your account.
