Steps

  1. 1The app follows your phone

  2. 2Change it on iPhone

    Settings → General → Language & Region, then either change the iPhone language or add a preferred language for Second Phone only under Settings → Apps → Second Phone → Language.

  3. 3Change it on Android

    Settings → System → Languages, or for this app only, Settings → Apps → Second Phone → Language, where supported.

  4. 4Right-to-left languages

    In Arabic the whole app is mirrored, including the tab bar and the number cards. Phone numbers stay in international format so they read the same everywhere.
