iOS 13 helps you learn a new language step by step. You can specify a preferred language per app. This is ideal for easily improving your German, French or Spanish. That is how it works.
Set preferred language per app in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13
Some apps require you to specify a language, but most applications use the default language you selected when setting up your iPhone or iPad. This works fine for most people, but there are situations where you want to deviate from this. Fortunately, from iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 it is possible to set a preferred language per app. You do this like this:
- Go to the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad;
- Swipe down until you get to the list of apps;
- Choose the app for which you want to change the language, in the example the Agenda;
- Tap on ‘Language’ and select the language in which you want to display the app from the list;
- Check if it works properly by opening the chosen app.
The number of languages ​​you can choose is very extensive. In addition, the iPhone or iPad takes into account differences within language areas. For example, if you set Spanish, you can choose the writing that is common in Latin America, Mexico or Spain.
It is possible to specify a preferred language per app. Of course it is easier to change the default language of an iPhone or iPad if you want to display dozens of apps in a different language. You do this by choosing ‘General’ in the Settings app, and then tapping ‘Language and region’. You can set a different language under the heading ‘iPhone / iPad language’.
