iOS 13.3 on iPhone 7 changing region by itself

Smart Phones neither have the intelligence nor has the hostility. Hence we need to look at our device settings and the way we synchronise our smart phones with Mac/PC/iCloud and also how careful are we in sharing our sensitive and valuable informations with friends and family members.

The same thing happened to me today. Started my journey with phone on correct uk region. By the end of the trip I’d noticed that weather had changed to Fahrenheit. The reason for this on closer inspection was region had changed itself to us.

So it's not just me! This problem has been driving me crazy for two months now. Sometimes, not always, my iPhone 7 changes from France to USA by itself. Only happens when connected to CarPlay. Very annoying as it takes some time to revert to French region AND French language.

Same situation. Started this week, the week before was ok. Happens after using Car Play. iPhone 7 iOs 13.3. The most annoying is that all other keyboards disappear. I'm only left with English and Emoji.

iPhone 7 running iOS 13.4.1 and it’s still an issue.

Does not happen every time I connect to CarPlay. Never realized it was related to that.

Reverting to my normal settings is rather quick, region and keyboard being the only settings I need to change, but still something that should be fixed.

Guess apple doesn’t really care to fix a problem that only shows sporadically on old phones when they’re connected to CarPlay. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I also have the same issue, drives me crazy since it removes all keyboards except English and Swedish do have some unique letters missing. At least good to know it’s not only me who experience this. I was first a bit suspicious that someone managed to hack the phone somehow...a known issie feels better :-)

Mine is doing that as well. Mine is setting from Australia to USA. Plus it also changes my tone format as well from 24hr to 12hr! It’s very frustrating as we have to use CarPlay one Australia as they have mobile phone detection cameras and cop a very hefty fine.

I hope this gets fixed as this also screws up the Apple Watch too.

Same here. Latest firmware installed, but constantly removing my keyboards and setting weather app to Fahrenheit. Having to constantly adding back keyboards annoys my the most, because I use 3 additional keyboards.

When reading through several blocks I noticed that everyone that had the same issue had an older phone. Does someone with an iPhone X or older experience similar behavior?

Same issue here in Australia. Keeps reverting back to US. Makes maps etc frustrating as it changes to imperial. Keep changing it back. Also own an iPhone 7. Sounds like a common glitch has occurred in one of the iOS updates.

This still occurs on my iPhone 7 on IOS 13.5.1. When I connect my phone to Apple Car Play with the USB cable, my phone overheats, all the apps freezes, it changes the Language & Region, Date & Time and Keyboard settings all by itself. It has been 4 months since I have this issue for the first time. I live in Australia.

Will it be ever resolved or is this Apple's way to force us to buy the new iPhone even when we don't actually need one?

I just experienced the same exact thing today (overheating, apps running slowly on CarPlay) and twice in a row... I have an iPhone X running under iOS 13.5. (Belgium regional settings changed to USA by itself).

I just had it today. Belgium regional settings jumping to USA settings, after using Carplay. Even the CarPlay crashed a few times om my trip back. I am new user with CarPlay, and not a happy one. I see people complaining about this, on other threads, over a year ago. Way to go. Even I am waiting on a resolution to other issues, for almost a year. All I hear the support say ‘wait for next update, wait for next update,...’ Apple is definitely going of track. If you ask premium prices, people expect at least normal working equipment...

Same thing has been happening to me. iPhone 7, iOS 13.5.1., Belgium as a region.

Does not necessarily happen when using carplay. In my case it seems related to some apps (Flipboard in particular) sometimes freezing after start (Starts showing some content but then seems to gets stuck on loading new content). If I stay on the app waiting for it to unfreeze the phone seems to detect the freeze and does some kind of quick restart.

In other cases I don't see it happening but realise when my homescreen icons get out of order because the News app appears (not present with my normal region).

This happened to me couple times already, do we have any feedback from apple support? It is very annoying bug.
