Hi,
I've recently moved to Australia and have changed the region and payment details accordinly. However I'm still unable to download regional apps. This is driving me absolutely mental, can someone please help? I have no ongoing subscriptions in my previous country, I have restarted my phone, I've double checked my apple ID... I do have family account, that I'm in charge of and I am not sharing anything.
iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16
