Frequently Asked Questions

If you still have questions regarding changing the language on Facebook, refer to some frequently asked questions and answers that Mytour has compiled below:

Does changing the language on Facebook affect the language on your phone?

The answer is no. When you change the language on Facebook, it only applies to the Facebook app. The language on your phone remains the same as before.

For example: If the language of Facebook and your phone is set to Vietnamese, and you change the language on Facebook to English, the language on your phone will still remain Vietnamese.

The interface on my iPhone doesn't match the instructions, what should I do?

If the interface on your iPhone doesn't match the instructions, it may be due to your iOS version or your app not being updated. As mentioned above, the method to change the language on Facebook by accessing iPhone settings only applies to iOS 14 and above. To address this issue, you can try one of the following methods:

• Check the iOS version on your device and ensure it is up to date.

• Check for updates for your app in the App Store. If the app has been updated, make sure you have installed the latest version.
• If you cannot update the iOS version, you can do the following: Go to “Settings” > Scroll down and tap on “Settings & Privacy” > Select “App Language” or you can use the method to change the language directly in the Facebook app.

Does changing the language on computer affect the language on phone?

In the same Facebook app, when you change the language on the computer, the language on the phone remains unchanged.

For example: With the same Facebook account, on both devices, the language is Vietnamese. If you change to a different language on Facebook on the computer, the language on the phone will still be Vietnamese.
