Hey guys, like many of you, I deleted the app Saturday night, thinking it was a login issue. Today, I’ve finally gotten it re-installed. Here’s a step-by-step of what I had to do:
- Download a VPN. I opted for NordVPN which is a couple of bucks a month but it looks like there are some free options also.
- In “Settings” go to “General Settings”, down to “Language & Region” and change your region to Canada.
- Also in “Settings” click on your name at the top, and go down to the tab that says “Media & Purchases”
- In this tab, you also need to change your location to Canada. The issue is, if you have any subscriptions, you’ll need to cancel them. I have a ton, so that wasn’t an option. Therefore, I created a new Apple ID on my computer, registered the address to Canada, and didn’t put in any payment information.
- In the Media & Purchases tab, sign out, and sign in with your new Apple ID from Canada.
- Restart your phone, fire up your VPN, make sure it’s on a Canadian server, and go to the app store and search for Snap.
- The first time I did this after switching everything I finally saw the app, but again got the error message. I turned my phone off, and tried again, and it finally let me download the app to my phone.
- I then signed out of my Canadian ID and changed my region back and it works fine, as long as my VPN is from Canada when I fire up the game.
I hope this helps!
