Downloading geo-restricted apps on iPhones using iOS 16.0.2

Has anybody found a way of downloading geo-restricted apps on iPhone using iOS 16.0.2? The solution being offered by Apple is to change the country/region on your "Media and Purchases", however it is not possible as it requires a payment method with billing address in the country where the apps is restricted to.

I believe one used to be able to go around this requirement in the older versions of iOS.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Hi Fottoc,


Regarding regional availability of apps and services the information below found in the article here can assist. Availability of Apple Media Services


"Depending on your country or region, you might not be able to buy, download, or subscribe to certain types of media. The availability and features of certain apps, movies, and more can vary. If you think an app or other media should be available in your country or region, contact the developer or publisher directly."


In addition to contacting the developer or publisher, feel free to leave feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple



Cheers.
