4. Some related questions

4.1. Does changing the language on Facebook via phone affect the settings on the computer?

No, they are not linked or synchronized. If you change the language to Vietnamese on Facebook via phone, the language on Facebook on your computer can still be set to English (or other languages).

4.2. If I use an older iPhone, is the language-changing process the same as described?

The instructions in the article use iPhone (iOS 13) for illustration purposes. With older iPhone models, you can still perform similar steps as their interfaces are not too different.

In case you have followed the instructions but Facebook still displays in English, it may be due to the following reasons:

• Software conflict
• Your system has not automatically updated the language
• The cache is full, causing your device to run slowly
• The Facebook app has not been refreshed for a long time

To fix this, restart your device or update the app to the latest version. Don’t forget to clear the cache to make your device run smoother!
