Question

I can't update apps in the AppStore, it says not available in your region

Received a notification that this version of WhatsApp will expire in 11 days and prompts you to update the application in the AppStore.

When I click update the application, an error is displayed that this function is not available in my region, although I am in Europe (I was in the UK, then in Finland) and this is indicated in the account settings.

What to do in this situation? How to update the application? I changed the region in both the Appstore settings and the Apple Id settings, nothing helps

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Thanks to Brexit, it appears that you may have moved your residence internationally, a barrier that used to not exist. Did you change the home country of your Apple ID from UK to Finland? Or are you roaming in Finland?

In any case, you may need to delete the old (UK) version of the application before you can install the new (FI/EU) version.

Good luck.

You need to change the store back to the UK region to update the app. After changing the region to the UK, you may need to sign out, restart, and sign back in.

Yes, I changed the country to Finland and it still doesn't work and I can't update the app. If I then delete it, I won't be able to download it again, understand now what's the problem? maybe you have some other ideas? if you need I can add more screenshots to understand the situation
