I have a similar story. A friend had his iPhone in his mom's living room, and they speak only Spanish at home as a general rule. It didn't take long until his iPhone was showing him ads in that language. I mentioned it when we left and headed over to another home where we were helping out with a brake job - and they speak Russian there, so Raul decided to experiment. Short version: each time we changed languages so did his iPhone. I tried it with my Android, but nothing changed on it. (That might be because I have modded mine to take the factory junkware off of it.) So far Raul's poly-lingual iPhone will spew ads at you in English, German, Spanish, and Russian. French is probably on the list too, but no one we know speaks French - and no one thought about YouTube until later. :laugh:

Siri seems to have a talent for languages.

:o

FYI: Android phones have a huge number of apps available that will do the magnifier thing. Just sayin'. :)

I've been okay more or less. I had to get a new career after my ankle surgery in June 2015, and that demands more time than my old one as it has a steep learning curve, so I haven't spent as much time in the forums as I used to. I mostly stop in the chat room on weekends now.
