Different Language
So out of nowhere my language is different in the doorbell. I initially set it up in English now it’s sending alerts in Spanish. Has anyone experienced this before? And if so how did you change in back to the original language.

Same here, getting iphone alerts in German and can't seem to find any settings to change it back. Might have coincided with an iOS release.

CI have gone through all of these steps and the issue has not been corrected. There is only one language selected for use on my iphone, just english and no other apps are displaying in another language (notifications or otherwise). Per your suggestion, I also uninstalled, restarted the phone and then reinstalled the app to no avail either. I've attached screenshots of the notification, as well as from the app itself so that you can see only the notification displays in German.

TI've gone through these steps as well and it's still happening on both my iphone and ipad which are both on iOS/iPadOS 13.1.3. I think it's only started since the iOS upgrade.

I'm having the same issue. All of our alerts are now in German even though my language in the app and language used online is English. I'm assuming it's because our address in the system is German. I can't find out where to change the language back to English.

TI have never changed my phone app settings to any language other than English. My push notifications in my iPhone displays in English. It's only my emails that I recieve that show up in German. I deleted the app on my phone and reinstalled it and I keep getting email notifications in German.

EI've never had this issue myself. I have many Android phones as well. Are you up to date with the Ring app? I'm guessing you already checked your language and location settings on your phone. The only thing I can think of is possibly you don't have the location permission on for the Ring app... What make and model of Android phone are you using. I might have it to troubleshoot it.

So I found the resolve problem guys you go on your general setting on your phone and click on the ring app where the location notifications and microphone etc things are it shows preferred languages just change it back to the language you want hope this helps

MTHANK YOU! This fixes the issue. My App suddenly Changed to Spanish and I could not change it within the App. I did not think of looking in the general iPhone App Settings for Ring. Thank you!

Same issue. I just gave ring app access to my location “always”, and when I opened the ring app to set up a new chime, suddenly all the app setup prompts are in Dutch. My iphone language is set to English and my location is set to where I live in the USA.

Same here - I'm suddenly getting alerts in German. My wife's iPhone language is set to German and she has the ring app monitoring the same devices as me but is logged in with her account. Very strange. I've tried reinstalling the app but it's still doing it. Looks like a bug to me.
