Re: "How to make istore to download apps when you are in Zimbabwe It’s not downloading Apps"


Seems the App Store is generally available for downloading apps by people in Zimbabwe:

Wondering what happens when you try to download apps ... error message ?


✽ You might want to check that your are signed in (to your iPhone) with your correct Apple ID:

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support


✽ Your iPhone's iOS may need updating to the newest compatible version:

About iOS 15 Updates - Apple Support says iOS 15.8.1 is latest. (iPhone 6s Plus cannot update to iOS 16)


"This update provides important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users".

You could check for an update in Settings > General > Software updates

If your iPhone is already using iOS 15.8.1 and you can not download apps:

You could try browsing through any appropriate Apple Support articles (links below) for tips on what to do:


If you can't open the App Store or iTunes Store, buy content, or edit payment information - Apple Support


✽ If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services:

If you see "Cannot connect" - Apple Support


If you can’t download or update apps - Apple Support


Apple requires that a payment method is listed in your Apple ID account for the first time you use the App Store, even if you only download free apps. (Apple can accept most credit cards in Zimbabwe):


If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support


If needed: The App Store has a support webpage online (eg: info. / support / contact options etc.):

App Store - Official Apple Support


All the best :-)
