Frustrating

Continually loses connection and won’t allow you to reconnect to your socials, no matter how many times you try. A full 6 weeks of socials not posted. Really irritating.

Face ID 기능 삭제 후 앱 내 언어가 중국어로 바뀜

Face ID 기능 삭제 후 어플 내 모든 UI가 한국어에서 중국어로 바뀌었고, 업데이트나 삭제 후 재설치를 해도 똑같습니다. 핸드폰 언어는 쭉 한국어로 되어있었고 따로 설정을 바꾼 적도 없는데 중국어는 대체 어디에서 나온건가요?! 일일히 캡처해서 화면번역으로 언어설정 기능을 찾아봐도 찾을 수가 없고 Q&A 탭에 들어가봐도 브라우저 번역 기능을 사용하라는 식으로 나와 있습니다. 원래대로 못 돌리나요?
