@Dani-Violet-Panda#76996 it is not like it hasn't been thought of. bunq tries to keep the app as simple as possible, while fitting the majority of the clients. The majority of the clients apparently have their phone configured to the language that they want to use the app in. 🙂

    @Sander#77074 Het toevoegen van een optie waarin men de taal kan muteren zou volgens mijzelf in geen enkel opzicht iets kunnen compliceren.

      @Dani-Violet-Panda#77150 This is actually not really supported by iOS, so that would require implementing a hack

        @Andreas#77152 Not true, in basically every app ever you have the option to change the language. Take Instagram for example.

          @Dani-Violet-Panda#77154 They implemented that hack probably. On iOS, user languages for system frameworks are stored in an Apple-only "UserDefaults" setting, which can be overriden, but has complications such as the app needing a hard reboot, not working with all network errors, etc.

            @Andreas#77157 Welp, I don’t think I multi billion company owned by Facebook is really using a “hack” to do that. Thanks for your input though.

              @Dani-Violet-Panda#77158 You would be surprised how much that happens at big companies :) I checked, and instagram is definitely using that hack: they even crash the app on purpose when changing the language, to work around some of the issues with the hack. (Apple doesn't really allow this, but big companies usually get a pass from Apple on this kind of stuff)

                @Andreas#77160 Maar een ieder kan toch ook simpelweg switchen van store zonder de taal te veranderen? Zo kun je ook apps downloaden in een andere taal. Zou dan toch ook geblokkeerd moeten zijn?

                  @Dani-Violet-Panda#77162 The App Store is an Apple app. Apple's own app can do things that aren't allowed/possible for 3rd party apps.

                    @Dani-Violet-Panda#77158 "Hack" as in: using Apple Enterprise Certificates to be able to make people install tracking software and track all the data they enter and every single move they make on the device? No I'm also sure, Facebook would never do that.

                      @Roeshimi#77164 HAHAHAHAHHH

                        Good news, as of iOS 13 you can pick the default language per app! iOS user just have to be patient. 😄

                        This will be possible from the system settings app. 👍

                          @WJanson#96155 Sounds great, now it would be cool if bunq could implement it for Android, as we don't have the option there (yet) :/

                            @WJanson#96155 patient? Not one of my strong points ;)

                            But this feature definitely comes in handy! For example, my phone is set to English but sometimes want to switch quickly to Dutch to make a screenshot with Duch text (of a bunq 🌈 screen for example) 👍

                            So, let's bring it on ;)

                              my phone in russian language, i want to bunq in English, because I do not speak in germanish. so, da hell. i choose this bank just because you have sign up and app in English, but...nu da hell. why i can not choose language

                                Hi @Anastasija-Golden-Shark#107850!

                                The bunq app follows your phone’s language where possible. If the language of your phone is not supported then the default fallback is English. Maybe you can check with the Support chat 💬 why your interface is shown in German? 🙂

                                  @Sander#107852 is het niet logischer om eerst de volgorde van alle ingestelde talen te proberen en pas als er geen enkele te vinden is die de app ondersteunt om naar Engels over te schakelen?

                                    @johannes#76920 Changed my phone language from English to Dutch. App language is still English. Even after i rebooted the device (Huawei P30).
