How to Change the Location on a FireStick

If you are also using Amazon FireStick and want to access the restricted app or blocked content in your region, or if you are travelling a lot and having difficulty accessing Amazon FireStick on other locations, here are some ways to change the location on a FireStick.

With Firestick, you can access more than 5 million movies and many other popular apps like HBO Max, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney + Hotstar, YouTube, etc. The application depends on the region also as some of the application is only available in a specific country. For example, BBC iPlayer and ITV are only available in the United Kingdom, and HBO and Tubi TV are only available in the United States region.

Amazon Firestick will always ask for the location details while creating the account on Amazon and you can’t disable the location features because it accesses the local network to connect with servers. So without further delay, let’s check the methods to fix the issue.

Use VPN (Virtual Private Network)

VPN is one of the most valuable methods widely used by many people worldwide. It will change the location of the Amazon firestick and most of the applications installed in your system.

However, some of the apps may misbehave as the VPN service will change the location of your internet services. Therefore, we do not recommend any specific VPN application as many applications are available in the app store.

Before the fake application, it may steal your data, and sometimes it will slow down the internet speed. Also, some of the VPN applications are free to use, and some are paid as they provide some premium features. Install any VPN application and then run it before using the FireStick application.

After that, choose your preferred location from the available list and tap on connect. It may take some time to establish the connection and change your system’s IP address. After successfully connecting from the desired server, open the FireStick application and watch your favourite content.
