Hi,

It appears I am not the only one with this problem as a Google search reveals others in my same spot:  
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/huegvi/change\_ankimobile\_interface\_language\_to\_english/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/huegvi/change_ankimobile_interface_language_to_english/)

However it has been a week since I downloaded AnkiMobile and it is still not showing up in my iOS Settings page. I’m on the latest version of iOS 13. I’ve tried restarting my phone, deleting and re-downloading Anki, deleting other apps, logging in and out, but nothing works. When I download brand new iOS apps or when I delete & re-install existing iOS apps they all show up in the Settings page immediately; this problem seems localized to Anki…

Any help or suggestions?

Thanks!

This seems to be an issue with iOS. Some users have reported restarting their device helps; others have said that enabling notifications in AnkiMobile’s preferences\>review\>notifications screen helped.

Woo I just enabled notifications as you suggested and it then immediately showed! Thanks! 🙂
