How to Change the Country on Netflix on Android

Co-authored by wikiHow Staff

Last Updated: October 10, 2022 Tested

This wikiHow teaches you how to browse and watch Netflix from any country you want, using Android. Netflix's library changes in every country, and you can use a third-party VPN app to mask your IP address in order to see different countries' libraries. Netflix will detect most of the free and paid VPN apps around, and prevent your connection, but the apps used here are some of the most popular VPN services that still work with Netflix. Although both apps will require a payment after the 7-day free trial period, you can cancel your membership when your trial expires, and sign up for a free trial again with a different email address.

Using ExpressVPN
