Trying to download the Hulu app on iPhone help pls.
Hi, wondering if we may have someone in the know please. I trying to download the Hulu app. As I understand I have to sign out of iCloud and sign back in with a new account that is region changed to the US. I’ve done that but before I can actually download the app I have to upload my payment option. Of course it wants the address and the address is in the UK. Is there a work round for this please?
thank you very much.

sorted byI have a US itunes a/c, created via itunes app on a windows PC. I put 'None' for payment method, and it was quite happy with that. I do add US credit from time to time to buy US itunes movies, but that shouldn't be relevant as far as I can see.
I have an ATV4K device, i've added the US id on top of my UK itunes id, you can switch between accounts in a few seconds on the device. Via my US account > App store, i've 'bought'/downloaded the Hulu app. It then remains available on the ATV4K device even if you switch back to the UK account. I don't have a Hulu account to log in, however it should work fine, as I've done the same thing adding US Vudu and Movies Anywhere apps. I've got US DNS set up on the device to allow streaming, the ATV device is now allowing VPNs for the first time as well.
My understanding is that other apple devices may require you to formally log out/log back to switch between different accounts in order to access their related apps, so not as straightforward as the ATV device.
However from my experience above, i'm not sure you need to have a US account with a valid payment method attached to is just to get/download the free Hulu app from the app store? Unless there is some extra hurdle when going via the iphone app store?
Thankyou
Why not just watch the programmes on Disney+ UK?
