## Want to change the interface language?

App Language opens iOS Settings. It is separate from Meditation Audio Language. Check whether you want to change button labels or the language spoken in a session.



## No audio after changing language?

Check that resource preparation or downloading has completed. If the page shows a failure, use its retry option and check your connection before returning to the player. Do not assume every language is already downloaded.
