Unable to change location on iPhone: How to change my location before to the present why this location did not process and did not change

———-


Changing your Location:

You can change your location by zeroing-out your Apple Account balance. Thing is, if you do change your location, you’ll lose all of your App Store and iTunes Store purchases, and you’ll have to purchase them again. So, if you are just visiting, then let this be, and don’t have the location changed.

Zero-Out your Balance:

You need to zero-out you balance. To do so, either...


A. Purchase something that is more money than what is in your Apple Account

or...

B. Contact Apple Support, asking them to zero it out. Once zeroed out, you will be able to change your location.

Note: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
