Numbers display date as MM/DD/YYYY Hello. I've been trying to change the date format that is displayed in Numbers, but to no avail. I've got region set to Poland, Europe, as always. I've got the date set as DD.MM.YYYY. But despite this, the date is still being presented in MM/DD/YYYY format. How do I change this? I use the latest Ventura system. Unfortunately, trying to change the region and the date and returning to my preferences doesn't fix the date format.

Canada Date Format There is no option to set the date in the common Canadian format which is used be most Canadians (English and French) of DD-MM-YYYY. This is extremely frustrating. Canadians do not use the American format of MM/DD/YYYY. Nor do we use YYYY-MM-DD, which is only used by our federal government for administrative purposes. The majority of Canadians use the DD-MM-YYYY format. I do NOT want to have to set my region to the UK to set the date format because then my phone starts loading the UK versions of websites and automatically changes things. Is there any way to set the date properly without changing my region??? If not could Apple PLEASE fix this?

How to add the Islamic calendar in all the iPhone Calendar My current location is Malaysia. I try to find a way to fix the problem of the Islamic calendar in all the calendar this year 2024. I cannot adjust the Hijri date /- 1 day for example in the iPhones calendar today is: 12 March 2024 corresponding to 2 Ramadan 1445, but the real date is 1 Ramadan 1445. I tried below suggestion but still not solving my issue. To do that, we recommend navigating to Settings and tapping Calendar. From here, turn off 'Alternative Calendars'. Next, go to Settings > Language & Region and change your region to Saudi Arabia. After that, head back to Settings > Calendar and enable the Islamic calendar in Alternative Calendars. With any luck, this should resolve the issue. If so, go ahead and change your region back to your current region and you should be good to go. Please help me provide a solution.
