Unable to change App Store Region/Country

I changed my location to China to download an app, but now I can’t switch it back to the United States. And when I go on App Store to change my location, it doesn’t give me the option to change location anymore. What should I do?

There are several possibilities; the most likely is you have either an active subscription or a balance in the app store.

If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

Tap Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > scroll to Allow Changes and turn on.


- If the device is managed (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), contact the IT department that is doing the managing.
