As of early 2026, my country, Bulgaria, switched its currency from BGN to the euro. But in iOS, the official currency is still the lev (BGN). Now, when I use the Numbers app, I have to change the currency manually instead of having the euro symbol used by default.
How can I change the currency in the settings without changing the region?

To change the currency displayed on your iPhone, you’ll need to adjust the Region settings.
If this adjustment doesn’t update the currency everywhere (such as in the App Store or Apple services), the issue is tied to your Apple ID’s country or region. In that case:
Note: Changing your Apple ID’s country may require updating your payment method and could affect app availability, subscriptions, and content tied to your account.
You cannot globally change the default currency in Apple Numbers without altering your Mac/iOS region settings. However, you can work around this by customizing templates or manually setting currency formats in each document, so you don’t need to change your Apple ID country or system region.

Sounds like something only Apple can correct. Use this link to send feedback.

Hello SravanKrA,
i don’t want to change my country. My country has a new currency and Apple has to change the currency for my currency or to give me option to change it.
