Tahoe 26.2 language reverts to US instead of GB

This has been a reported item for a long time. I'm in the process of updating to Tahoe 26.2 and the language is still reverting to US instead of GB. Nobody seems to care.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 26

In addition to Tom's suggestion, System Settings -> General -> Language & Region is worth checking to see that everything is as you want it , particularly Preferred Languages at the top, e.g.:

With an erase and reinstall last week, I also noticed that detection of a UK location sets US English by default.

Use + or – as necessary.
