iOS App Stores issues— I live in a foreign country

iOS App Store issues: I’m living overseas (different from the country I initially created my iCloud account).


I need apps from both countries. eg: banking apps, shopping apps, etc


To download a local app I need to switch App Stores. You cannot imagine what a PITA it is to have to switch App Stores all the time— type in my credit card number and address. Then if I want proper fiction of my device I have to switch back to my iCloud country App Store …retype all my CC details again.


Is there a way to subscribe to more than one country’s App Store?

Is there a way to keep my details stored in the App Store to make switching back and forth more easily?


Thanks for helping

In a nutshell, no.


Some folks create a separate Apple ID for the 2nd country.
