Mr B, sorry for the delay in replying. Language was already set to English. but thanks anyway. Update: Early last night the Google assistant app started itself again with the same screen but this time it was in English. I was able to just close it and there was no issue with needing to restart...

I have cleared the cache and forced stop. When restarted the language has remained at English. Mustang7757, No. Other people live in our family home but nobody uses my phone and it is usually only opened using my fingerprint biometric or sometimes my PIN. Both of these fail when this Google...
