Due to licensing, copyright, and maybe censorship issues, not all apps are available worldwide. This means that while some users can access certain apps, others living in another part of the world can’t. This has led to smartphone users coming up with unofficial ways of circumventing these restrictions.
However the good news is that for Android users, it looks like Google will be easing up on those restrictions and allowing some Android users to shop in a different country’s Play Store. This means that for some, they will be able to make purchases in a Play Store different from the one that they are using, although note that this comes with a caveat.
Like we said, this is only available to some Android users and in order to meet the criteria for being able to purchase outside your current country, users will have to have made a valid purchase using a valid payment method in the country that they have chosen. This might be ideal for those who used to work/study in a country before moving back home or vice versa.
This allows them to continue shopping from that particular country’s Play Store while also being able to access their current country’s Play Store. If you have done this before, head on over to Google Play on your device and select “Account”. If you have met this criteria, you should be able to see a new option called “Country and profiles” which will let you switch between Play Stores.
