How to change your App Store country or region

Some people want to move the account to a new country. Others want to open a different storefront. Those are not the same switch.

Store Switch 不会更改你的 Apple ID 国家或地区。它用来打开另一个 App Store，查看评分、评论和排行。购买、订阅和账户国家仍由你的 Apple ID 决定。

更改 App Store 国家

你购买所用的 App Store 国家，就是 Apple ID 上的国家。没有一个独立开关可以让账户留在原地，同时在新的国家完成购买。若要改成从另一个国家付款，请看 如何更改 Apple ID 国家。那一页说明余额、订阅、付款方式，以及已购项目会怎样。

更改 App Store 地区

Apple 的设置名称是「国家/地区」。在官方说明里，「地区」和「国家」是同一个账户设置，不是 App Store App 里的第二个开关。按 Apple 的用词，更改 App Store 地区和更改 App Store 国家是同一次账户变更。这两个说法共用这一页。

也有人说「地区」，其实只是想看看日本、英国、香港或其他商店页面。这种浏览不会更改 Apple ID 国家。

浏览另一个国家的 App Store

  1. 继续使用你现在的 Apple ID，保持登录。
  2. 打开 Store Switch 选择国家或地区，或在 地区列表 里选一个。
  3. 打开那个商店，查看评分、评论和排行。
  4. 购买仍留在你一开始的 Apple ID 国家。

App 使用的是同一类地区链接。在电脑浏览器里，Apple 仍可能按网络所在地跳转商店。两种情况下，账户国家都不会变。

仍然留在 Apple ID 上的内容

  • 账户的国家或地区。
  • 该账户的付款方式和账单地址。
  • 订阅和剩余余额。
  • 哪一个国家的商店可以向你收费。

如果某个 App 找不到，下一篇看 App 在你所在的国家或地区不可用。如果正准备退出登录或再做一个账号，先看 不退出登录，打开其他国家的 App Store。

在手机上打开这个商店

Store Switch 可在 App Store 免费下载。选一个地区，打开那个商店，Apple ID 的国家留在原地。

相关指南

Store Switch does not change your Apple ID country. It opens another App Store so you can read ratings, reviews, and charts. Purchases, subscriptions, and the account country still follow your Apple ID.

Change App Store country

The App Store country you buy from is the country on your Apple ID. There is no separate “App Store country” switch that leaves the account where it is and still completes purchases in the new country. To make another country the store you pay, follow how to change your Apple ID country. That page covers the balance, subscriptions, payment method, and what happens to existing purchases.

Change App Store region

Apple’s settings label is Country/Region. In that article, “region” is the same account setting as “country”, not a second control inside the App Store app. Changing App Store region, in Apple’s wording, means the same account move as changing App Store country. This page is the single guide for both phrases.

People also say “region” when they only want to look at another storefront: Japan, the UK, Hong Kong, and the rest. That browse does not change the Apple ID country.

Browse another App Store country

  1. Stay signed in with the Apple ID you already use.
  2. Open Store Switch and pick the country or region, or pick one on the store list.
  3. Open that storefront and read ratings, reviews, and charts.
  4. Leave purchases on the Apple ID country you started with.

The same regional links are what the app uses. On a computer, Apple may still send the browser to a store based on where the connection is. The account country does not change either way.

What stays on your Apple ID

  • The country or region of the account.
  • The payment method and billing address on that account.
  • Subscriptions and remaining balance.
  • Which country’s store is allowed to charge you.

If an app is missing, the next page to read is app not available in your country. If you were about to sign out or make another login, read opening a foreign App Store without signing out first.

Open the storefront on your iPhone

Store Switch is free on the App Store. Pick a region, open that store, and leave the Apple ID country where it is.
