Please let us know where the Language settings are inside IOS/Settings/Apps/Connect

The latest beta version 26.11 contains a fix.

I can’t tell you when Garmin will make the next release on the regular channel. 24.19 and 25.24 came out about 4 and 2 months ago.

Hi all. I may have a fix for apple phones.

Open settings, open connect app from app list, at the bottom you should see language selection, open this and select Chinese Traditional.

Now open the connect app and it will be in Chinese, go to connected devices and open edge device, this is now in english.

Now go back to settings, open connect app from list, at the bottom you should now have both English and Chinese in your language list, now select English.

You should now have the edge part of the connect app in English.

I do not know if this will work for other languages.

New phone, just re-added my 1040 in Garmin Connect, and it shows up in Chinese? My watch re-synched and is in English. I checked any app specific language settings, there is nothing for Garmin connect. What the heck is going on? I see others are also having this issue, but no fix as yet?
