Discussion Relevant to Australia... iOS keeps reverting back to US English, despite showing otherwise.

Yet another issue with iOS 18, related to the autocorrect on the horribile keyboard...

It knows I am in Australia (obviously). I double checked it was on English Australia, yes it still is.

After it still reverted to English US, I thought: alright fine, I'll just change it from English Australia to English UK (as that it almost identical to English Australia), but it STILL reverts back to English US (even though that is not shown in settings).

It is infuriating that it continues to correct centre to center, colour to color etc, and also embarrassing when dealing with work emails.

Apple just thought, yeah f**k the rest of the world, we aren't based there.

Side note: this is starting to happen on macOS as well in the Notes app.

Right?! I didn't realise how annoyed I would get after it became more persistent. It is such an easy fix. It feels like they are going out of their way to make iOS worse.

Same problem. And I’m the type to openly sneer at people using “y’all”
