Receiving an iPhone as a gift or purchasing it from a different region can be cost-effective. However, the biggest challenge when setting one up or using one is the language. Fortunately, you can change your iPhone's native language without worrying about losing any data.
One of the easiest ways to pick up new words is to switch the default language on your iPhone. This will teach you some basic phrases, as well as help you pick up commonly used words.
If you plan to change the default language on your iPhone, it's straightforward. However, you should remember that this change will be applied system-wide and even to autocorrect and word prediction features.
How to change the default language in your iPhone settings
To change the default language on your iPhone, you'll need to go to your settings. The process is straightforward. All you have to do is follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open an app Settings.
Step 2: go to the General admission.
Step 3: Scroll down to Language & Region and tap this option.
Step 4: At the top, you'll see a tab called iPhone language. Select this.
Step 5: when you appear List of languages Choose the language you are learning.
Step 6: At the bottom of the screen, you will be prompted to change your language with a message that says “Change to [language]“. Choose this option.
After confirming that you want to change your language, your iPhone will take a few seconds to switch to your chosen language. You don't need to turn off your phone for these changes to take effect.
It's worth noting that even after changing your device's default language, some apps may still load in English. If this is the case, it's likely because the app developers haven't optimized the app for your chosen language.
How to change the main language of an individual app
In addition to changing the default language on your phone, you can do the same for individual apps. Follow the steps below to do so.
Step 1: go to the Settings.
Step 2: Click The application whose language you want to change.
Step 3: In the app settings, you will see a heading called “Preferred language“Under that will be a tab called Language; choose that option.
Step 4: The next screen will show you a list of languages you can change your app to. If you see the one you're looking for, select it.
Once you select a new language, the effects should take effect immediately. Open the app to see if this has happened; if you see the same language as before, try resetting your phone.
How to add a new iPhone keyboard language
If you want to change the language on your iPhone while texting, adding a new keyboard to your device is a great idea. The steps for doing this aren't much different than changing your default language; here are the instructions on how to do it.
Step 1: Go back to Settings, and just as you did when changing your default language, choose General.
Step 2: Instead of going to Language and Region, choose Keyboard.
Step 3: The first option is called Keyboards. Click on this.
Step 4: At the bottom, you'll find an option labeled Add New Keyboard – you'll need to select this option.
Step 5: Find the keyboard you want to add.
In some cases, your phone will ask you to add a keyboard type and confirm by tapping Done. However, you probably won't see this—unless you've added a different keyboard for the same dialect.
Adding an iPhone keyboard is particularly useful if you want to speak different variations of a single language. For example, while you can only set your iPhone's default language to German, you can also choose Austrian or Swiss German keyboards.
Learning a new language can be easy.
Changing your iPhone's default language is a great way to learn new words and familiarize yourself with a language you may not know much about. Plus, you don't have to lose any data while doing so. Even if you're not looking to learn a completely new language, it's a fun way to make your phone more interesting.
If you want to reverse your decision, it's easy to change the language back to your native language – although you may need to use Apple Translate!
Now you know how to change the default language on your iPhone, why not go ahead and give it a try?
