iPhone: Region, language, and Accessibility blue boxes

Hi all. Just a quick question.

Nothing about json or amp files etc😀

I am happy with the way Apple products work (I don’t think they should allow the user to access the data though, as I have learned from previous experiences that it does not have any value to diagnostics.


So what is happening here is that websites that I visit on my iPhone are being shown as an American site.

Also some Apps show English UK

Some just show English within the app’s settings on the iPhone.


Last question. I am seeing strange blue boxes appear, I have been told that this is too do with Accessibility settings. How can I ignore all of these settings Thankfully I don’t need them.

I look forward to seeing what you guys and girls have to say.

iPhone 12 mini

Websites can query preferred browser language (navigator.language), and can collect IP geolocation info, but the rest is largely website specific, and can usually be re-selected thru website-specific means.

Usually switch control: Set up and turn on Switch Control on iPhone - Apple Support
