Can’t Download Certain Apps? How to Change Region in Google Play Store

Google Play Store is one place where you always go to install new apps and sometimes just to browse for new apps too. But isn’t it frustrating when you want to download an app and Play Store shows that it is not available in your region?

Google has added a new feature that lets you change the location of your Google Play Store so you can download apps that are not available in your region.
