How to Change the Language on an iPhone

Steps

1. Open your iPhone's Settings . Tap the Settings app icon, which resembles a grey box with gears on it.
2. Scroll down and tap General. This option is near a quarter of the way down the "Settings" page, and has a pale grey gear icon to the left of it.
3. Scroll down and tap Language & Region. From the bottom of the screen, it's the seventh option up. Common non-English iterations of this option include the following:

   • Chinese - Tap 語言和地區
   • Spanish - Tap Idioma y región
   • Hindi - Tap भाषा और क्षेत्र
   • Arabic - Tap اللغة والمنطقة
   • Russian - Tap язык и регион
4. Tap iPhone Language. It's the top option on this page. Doing so opens a language selection menu.
5. Select a language. Scroll until you find the language that you want to use, then tap it to select it. A blue checkmark (✓) will appear next to the selected language.
6. Tap Done. It's in the top-right corner of the screen.
7. Tap Change to [Language] when prompted. This blue-text option is at the bottom of the screen. Tapping it will cause your iPhone's screen to go black as it changes the default language.
8. Wait for the language to finish changing. Once the language has been changed to your preferred one, you'll be back at the "Language & Region" screen.
