In this article, we have included 3 methods to resolve and fix “This item isn’t available in your country” problem and install the app safely and securely.

1. Download APK from Safe 3rd Party Website

You can download the APK (Android Package Kit) from reliable third-party sources and websites like apkpure.com and apkmirror.com by simply including the keyword with the name of the website for example if you are getting an error or “This item isn’t available in your country” message while installing TikTok from Google Play Store you may search for in Google or Bing for TikTok apkpure.com or TikTok apkmirror.com and download the APK file and install it normally.

Note: Don’t download the APK from any other non-reliable website as it may contain Spyware, Adware, and Ransomware which can not only steal your personal data but can also damage your smartphone.

Once you’ve added the new Google account:

  1. Open the Play Store.
  2. Switch to the newly added Google account.
