Maps language

My “Maps” direction language changed to Chinese after previous update. I have been trying to look for way to change it back to English. Can someone nice enough to help me? Thanks.

Check settings for Siri's language. I'm not sure if that has any affect on the Map directions, but that is the only other place I would think to check. What troubleshooting have you tried? First step is to power the iPhone off and back on again. Second step is to force closed Maps, and then force restart the iPhone, How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support and Force restart iPhone - Apple Support. The next steps would be to create a current backup of the iPhone and restore that backup.
