Quick answers about Apple feature availability, where our data comes from, and how to get the most out of the map.
Why isn't a feature available in my country?
Most differences come down to regulation, infrastructure, and partnerships rather than the software itself. Payment features need agreements with local banks and card networks; health features such as ECG or hypertension notifications need medical-device clearance from each country's regulator; AI and language features roll out as models are validated for each language; and media services depend on content licensing. Until those pieces are in place, Apple simply does not switch the feature on for that region.
Where does the data on this site come from?
Entirely from Apple's own official feature-availability pages for iOS, macOS, and watchOS. We read those pages, standardise the country and feature names, and present the result as a searchable map and lookup. We never add availability claims that Apple does not publish.
How often is it updated?
An automated job checks Apple's pages every day. The "Data updated" timestamp on the home page shows the most recent successful refresh, and the changelog lists exactly what changed each time.
Is this an official Apple website?
No. This is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. Apple and its product names are trademarks of Apple Inc., referenced here only to describe the features they identify.
A feature shows as available here but I can't use it. Why?
"Available in a country" on Apple's pages means the feature is offered there in general. Actually using it can still depend on your specific carrier, bank, device model, software version, or chosen language. Our data also refreshes on a schedule, so Apple's live pages are the definitive source at any given second.
What does each platform (iOS, macOS, watchOS) mean here?
Apple publishes separate availability lists per operating system. iOS covers iPhone (and closely related iPadOS features), macOS covers Mac, and watchOS covers Apple Watch. Because a feature can be available on one platform but not another in the same country, we keep them separate so you can filter precisely.
How do I check whether a specific feature is available where I live?
Use Countries by Feature on the home page: choose the platform, category, and feature, then read the highlighted map or the country list. To see everything offered in one place at once, use Features by Country and type your country's name.
Why do availability lists for the same feature differ between iPhone and Apple Watch?
Some capabilities ship to one device class before another, or require hardware only present on certain devices. Health notifications, for example, often depend on Apple Watch sensors and may light up on watchOS in a country before (or instead of) iOS.
Can I rely on this for a purchase decision?
Use it as a fast first check, then confirm on Apple's own site or with a retailer before you buy — especially for high-stakes features like payments or health monitoring, where carrier, bank, and model details matter.
Do you cover Apple Intelligence and its language requirements?
Yes. Apple Intelligence availability depends on both your region and your device/Siri language. See our Apple Intelligence guide for how that works and how to check it.
I think something is listed incorrectly. What should I do?
Cross-check Apple's official page first, since availability changes frequently. If it still looks wrong, the discrepancy is most likely in how a region name was matched during processing, and we want to fix that.
Does the site use cookies or show ads?
The site uses a small number of cookies for basic functionality (like remembering your theme) and may serve ads through Google, which uses cookies as described in our Privacy Policy. You can control or block cookies in your browser at any time.
Is the site available in other languages?
Yes. You can switch languages from the selector in the header, and localized versions are available for major languages including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and more.
Is the underlying dataset available?
The normalised data that powers the map is generated into structured files (JSON and CSV) as part of the project. It is intended to make the same information easy to explore and reference rather than to replace Apple's authoritative pages.
