🛠️ The Solution: Use a Second Apple ID

Make a second Apple ID, set to a different country only to download region-specific apps, then switch back to your main account.

🚀 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create a Second Apple ID

• First go to appleid.apple.com

• Choose a new email address (Gmail, Outlook, etc.)

• Set the country to the one you want apps from (e.g. Mexico or Netherlands)

• You don’t need a real payment method if you’ll only download free apps

2. Sign In to the App Store with the Second Apple ID

• Then open the App Store on your iPhone

• Tap your profile icon (top right)

• Scroll down and tap Sign Out

• Sign-in with your new Apple ID

3. Download the Regional Apps

• Search and install the apps only available in that region
  (e.g. Bitso, Rappi, Banorte, Mercado Libre MX, or DigiD, NS, ING NL)

4. Sign Back Into Your Main Apple ID

• Finally go to the App Store again

• Sign-out of the second account and back into your main one

✅ All the downloaded apps remain on your iPhone and continue working — even if they were installed under the other Apple ID.

✅ Good to Know

• Switching back to the original account might be needed to update the apps later.

• No need to reset your iPhone, use a VPN, or change region settings.

• This works for free and paid apps (if you add a valid payment method).

🚫 What You Don’t Need

❌ Second iPhone
❌ Region change in your iOS settings
❌ Any jailbreak or hack
❌ Mexican or Dutch credit card (if only downloading free apps)
