Apple Account purchase migration tool now ‘works’ in the EU and UK

Apple has updated its support document for the recently introduced purchase migration tool, removing the EU and UK from the availability exclusion. India is the only remaining region listed where the Apple Account purchase migration tool isn’t offered.

Apple introduced the tool for migrating purchases from one Apple Account to another Apple Account earlier this month. The feature works on iPhone or iPad when signed in with two different Apple Accounts on the same device: one for iCloud and another for the App Store.

For some, the migration tool has been successful in transferring iTunes and App Store purchases from being associated with one Apple Account to being attached to the preferred Apple Account.

So far, I am not one of those people… but the two account method has been tolerable for 15 years. What’s another decade and a half?

At any rate, if your Apple Account is associated with either the EU or UK, you can now attempt to migrate purchases between Apple Accounts. The support page here lists the many requirements for successfully pulling off the migration.
