I have tried to download my local gym app for a while now but it still keeps saying that it’s not available in my region and that i need to change my region or country. It is simply not possible that it’s not available in the region that i have my apple id in.
What could be the problem and how to fix it?
iPhone SE, iOS 16
Hello,
I am assuming you didn't actually change your country settings at some point.
This may be a region setting issue and not an actual change in country unless you truly went through all the steps necessary do that (and will have to reverse them to change back). This can sometimes happen if you find a link on the web that points to an app or a media item in another country's iTunes Store. Here's how you can correct this:
Sign out of the store [ Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support ] and sign in again to get the region to match the region to which your Apple ID country is set, as described in this post: apple id is only valid in us store - Apple Community
1. Go to: Settings > Account > Media & Purchases > View Account > Country/Region
2. Make sure it is set to your normal country.
3. In the "Media & Purchases" menu, sign out and then sign in again.
The above is a simplified version of that in the support document 'Change your Apple ID country or region' ( Change your Apple ID country or region - Apple Support ) except you shouldn't need to do the extra steps involved as when you have done a true country change.
