How to change your App Store region

Happ was removed from the Russian App Store, but it can still be downloaded. You just need to switch your account's region once — it takes a couple of minutes and no card is required.

Important before you start

Changing your region only works if you have no active App Store subscriptions (iCloud+, Apple Music, etc.). Cancel or wait for any active subscriptions to end, then continue.
