Change the Language

There are many good reasons to change the language on your phone. One of them might be that English is not your native language. Also, if you want to immerse yourself into a language you are trying to master, it might be productive to switch your iPhone XR to that language. Whatever the reason, follow the steps below to change your phone’s language:

1. Unlock your iPhone XR.

2. Start the “Settings” app from the phone’s Home screen.

3. Next, tap the “General” tab.

4. Browse for the “Language & Region” section. Tap on it.

5. Next, tap the “iPhone Language” tab.

6. Your iPhone XR will then show you a list of available languages. Pick the one you want and tap its name.

7. Tap “Done”.

Change the Region

Sometimes, it is convenient to change your phone’s region along with the language. The biggest potential reason to change the region might be to adapt to the date and time format used in its country of origin. Also, if you are traveling abroad for a longer period, it might be convenient to change your phone’s region. To do it, follow these easy steps:

1. Unlock your iPhone XR.

2. Launch the “Settings” app from your Home screen.

3. When the app launches, go to the “General” section.

4. Once in the “General” section, tap the “Language & region” tab.

6. Your iPhone XR will show you the list of available regions. Pick the one you want to switch to and tap its name.

7. Tap “Done”.

Aside from the time and date format, depending on the region you choose, your phone might switch to a different calendar (Gregorian, for example) and might start showing temperature in degrees Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.

Change the Keyboard Language

Instead of switching the entire phone to a new language, you might sometimes opt to only change its keyboard language. Here is a quick and easy guide to changing keyboard language:

1. Unlock the phone.

2. Start the “Settings” app from your Home screen.

3. Find the “General” tab and tap it.

4. Next, tap the “Keyboard” tab.
