Can't change Country/Region after cancel Apple Music membership !

I can not change Store Country on my iPhone after cancel membership (turn off Automatic Renewal), still always get message "To change stores, you must first cancel your Apple Music membership". How can I do ? Please help me, thank you.

This situation is truly unacceptable.

Nobody (!) can change store easily and Apple doesn't seem to understand such an obvious flaw.

Hello Apple, we really have a problem and we are ones who are paying you.

Spotify is not the answer for me, I want to stay with Apple.User uploaded file

If anyone still has this problem i found a solution, figure out an app that is only available in the country you want to switch to then open it through your browser and it will prompt you to open it in the appstore, when the appstore opens you will be asked if you want to switch stores to whichever country it is in.


Can only confirm this works in canada and the US

apps i used were

Problem solved!


TShourbagy posted the very simple solution way back in July 2015 i.e. call Apple support and ask to have the free trial cancelled. Easy.


It took me all of 5 minutes to call them and have them cancel my free Apple music trial subscription. I was then able to change my app store country unhindered.


It beats me why over three years later folks are still saying there's no solution. There is a solution, and it's simple.
