Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can help answer a question.

I’m an American living in Australia and am unable to download most Australian apps on my iPhone (such as ANZ banking, Bupa Australia, etc). I believe it is because my iCloud was originally set up in the US even though my iPhone was purchased in Australia.

Does anyone know how I can fix this so that I am able to have access to apps in Australia? When I search sometimes it will say “not available in your region” or just not appear in search results at all. And if I am able to change it will I still have access to all of the apps on my phone that have already been downloaded in the US?

Any advice is appreciated:)

Finally received the good news that my visa has been approved!
