How To Change The Language On Iphone 6

Download Article

This wikiHow teaches you how to change the default written language on your iPhone. Your iPhone's language will not always determine the language used in non-Apple apps or on websites, though it should translate most content automatically. Keep in mind that if your iPhone is stuck in a language that reads from right to left, all horizontal screen options will be reversed.

If your phone is stuck in a language that you can identify but can't understand and you can't find the Language & Region option, try typing "language & region" into Google Translate and setting the other side of the translator to the language in question.

Some languages, such as Arabic, use right-to-left writing instead of left-to-right. If your phone is in a right-to-left language, all horizontal screen options will be reversed (e.g., top-left-corner options will be in the top-right corner, etc.).
