Step 1: Open Google Play Store
Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device. This is usually found on your home screen, but you can also locate it by tapping the app drawer icon and searching for “Play Store”.
Step 2: Access the Account Settings
Once you have the Google Play Store open, tap on the hamburger menu icon (the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner) to access the sidebar menu. Scroll down until you find the “Account” option and tap on it.
Step 3: Change Country Settings
In the Account settings, tap on the “Country and profiles” option. Here, you’ll see a list of countries. Tap on the country you currently have selected to open the available options.
Step 4: Select your New Country
From the list of available options, select the country you want to change your Google Play Store account to. Keep in mind that you may need to provide a local payment method from the new country in order to complete the change.
Step 5: Review and Confirm
After selecting your new country, a pop-up window will appear displaying a message informing you that your Google Play Store country will be changed to the selected country. Review the information and tap on the “Continue” button to proceed.
Step 6: Update Payment Method (if necessary)
If your new country requires a local payment method, you’ll be prompted to update your payment information. Tap on the “Continue” button to proceed and follow the on-screen instructions to add a valid payment method from your new country.
Step 7: Complete the Change
Once you’ve updated your payment method (if necessary), your Google Play Store account country will be changed to the new country you selected. You can now start enjoying apps, games, and content specific to your new location!
