  2. At the top right, tap the profile icon.
  3. Tap Settings and then General and then Account preferences and then Country and profiles.
  4. To change countries, tap the name of the one you want to change to.

Is everything clear with the provided instruction?

unable to change the country ...it is showing the UK.

Could you provide me with a screenshot, please?

Please, follow the instructions:

  1. On your phone, open the Google Play Store app Google Play.
  2. At the top right, tap the profile icon.
  3. Tap Settings and then General and then Account and device preferences and then Country and profiles.
  4. Tap the country where you want to add an account.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to add a payment method for that country.

Is everything clear with the provided instruction?
