Changing your App Store location (or region) can help you access apps that are not available in your current country or region. This may be necessary if Turbo VPN is unavailable in your country's App Store. Here's how to change your App Store region to download Turbo VPN:
For iPhone or iPad (Apple ID):
1. Open Settings
- Go to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap on Your Apple ID
- Tap on your Apple ID at the top of the screen (this will display your name and email).
- Select "Media & Purchases".
3. View Account
- Tap View Account. You may be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID password, Face ID, or Touch ID.
4. Change Country/Region
- Scroll down and select "Country/Region".
- Tap Change Country or Region.
5. Select a New Country
- Choose the country you want to switch to (for example, the U.S. if you're trying to access U.S.-specific apps like Turbo VPN).
- Review and accept the Terms and Conditions for the new country.
6. Update Your Payment Method and Billing Information
- You will need to provide a payment method and billing address for the new country. If you don’t have one, you can often select None for payment details, but you may need to provide a valid address in the new country.
- Important: Some regions may require a payment method from that country. If you cannot provide one, you might need to create a new Apple ID.
7. Download Turbo VPN
- After changing the region, go to the App Store and search for Turbo VPN. You should now be able to download and install it.
- You can switch back to your original region once the app is installed.
For Mac (Mac App Store):
If you're using a Mac, follow a similar process to change the App Store country:
- Open the Mac App Store.
- Click on your profile (at the bottom left or the "Sign In" button in the toolbar).
- Click "View Information".
- Click "Change Country or Region".
- Select a new country (for example, the U.S.) and update your billing details (you may need to enter an address and payment method).
- Search for Turbo VPN in the Mac App Store and download it.
Important Notes:
- Payment Method: Some countries require you to provide a payment method from that country (e.g., a U.S. credit card if you’re switching to the U.S. region). However, you can also try using the "None" option for payment if it’s available.
- Existing Subscriptions: Changing regions may affect your existing subscriptions (like Apple Music, iCloud storage, etc.). You may need to cancel and re-subscribe in the new region if you switch regions temporarily.
- Billing Information: Be sure that the billing address matches the new region to avoid any issues with downloading or using the App Store.
Alternative Method (Create a New Apple ID):
If you don’t want to change your existing Apple ID’s region permanently, you can create a new Apple ID with a different region (e.g., the U.S.) and use it specifically for downloading Turbo VPN or other apps that aren’t available in your region:
- Sign out of your current Apple ID from Settings or App Store.
- Create a new Apple ID and choose the U.S. (or the country where Turbo VPN is available) as the region.
- Use the new Apple ID to download Turbo VPN from the App Store.
After installing, you can switch back to your original Apple ID.
Frequently asked questions
- After downloading Turbo VPN, can I switch back to my original Apple ID?
Yes. Once you have downloaded Turbo VPN on your device, the app will work regardless of the country your Apple ID is associated with.
- How do I keep Turbo VPN updated?
To update any iOS app, you must use the same Apple ID you used to download the app.
If you switched back to your original Apple ID after downloading Turbo VPN with a new Apple ID, you will need to sign in to your new Apple ID for the Turbo VPN app updates.
