Ever since I loaded iOS 26.2 on my IPhone 12, random (I assume) Chinese fonts are showing up where English should be. I AM NOT typing them in and I have added no new fonts to my phone. Only system fonts that can’t be deleted are on the phone. Why is this happening?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 26
I tried the traditional reboot to no effect several times, but I am embarrassed to say I finally figured out it was isolated to one particular app (MSN) that has been on my phone forever but apparently was affected by the iOS update. Once I knew that, I deleted that app and then downloaded it again. Problem solved.
Hello!
Have you tried turning it on again after shutting down the system?
From the heart,
