Why is my Region being changed to Belgium instead of United Kingdom

I noticed that when trying to add friend's address, my iphone region (used to be United Kingdom), has been changed to Belgium after softward updated few months ago.


When I checked my setting

settings > general > language and region >


which clearly shown: Region - United Kingdom


but when trying to enter friend's address, the region has already automatically set to Belgium???


Thank you.

I doubt this would help but this is the only way I know to do any kind of country setting on an i-device:


Sign out of the iTunes Store [ https://support.apple.com/HT203983 ] and sign in again to get the iTunes Store region to match the region to which your Apple ID country is set, as described in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250611340?answerId=251184940022#251184940022


1. Go to: Settings > Account > Media & Purchases > View Account > Country/Region

2. Make sure it is set to your normal country.

3. In the "Media & Purchases" menu, sign out and then sign in again.


The above is a simplified version of that in the support document 'Change your Apple ID country or region' ( https://support.apple.com/HT201389 ) except you shouldn't need to do the extra steps involved when you have done a true country change.
