App is in Hebrew on iOS 15.8.8 on an iPhone 6s a after recent update.

App is in Hebrew on iOS 15.8.8 on an iPhone 6s a after recent update.

I can’t read Hebrew, so the app is almost completely unusable for me.

No other app on my phone is in Hebrew. English is the only language in my phone’s settings.

Works fine

I am able to send files from my iPhone, but I can’t receive any files.
Plus the KDE Connect folder states it is located in “On my iPhone”, but it’s hidden.

Really fast transfer

I recently switch to Linux and I tried KDE connect. I was very impressed by how fast it is
