It's safe to say that YouTube is the main online destination for videos. 

Whether you're looking for recipe demonstrations, music videos, or even updates from your favorite vloggers, YouTube has something for everyone — no matter where you're from or what language you speak. 

YouTube isn't just for English-language speakers. The site allows you to change the default language in just a few simple steps. 

Here's how to do it on both desktop and mobile.

How to change your YouTube language on mobile 

Changing your YouTube language on mobile depends on which device you have. 

If you have an iPhone, this requires changing the language of your phone as a whole. 

You can do this by going to the Settings app, then tapping General → Language & Region → iPhone language. Now you can choose the language you want your YouTube app and your phone to operate in.

The next time you open YouTube, the app will automatically display in this language, as long as you're signed into your YouTube account.

On an Android device, you'll also need to change your phone's language setting by opening the Settings app and going to System → Languages & input → Languages and tapping on the language of your choice. 

From that point on, YouTube will begin operating in the default language you selected.

But because it can support many devices reliably with low lag times and fast download speeds, it's also powering things like long-distance synchronous music-making, faster electric-vehicle charging, and innovative mental-health care. It's also forward compatible — meaning it's built to support technologies that are still in development or don't even exist yet. Insider's  5G Playbook  is built for anyone who wants to know what's possible with this tech — how it can take your business to new heights, expand your creativity, or enliven your world. We're your one-stop resource for captivating profiles, informative how-tos, and exciting interactive features.   Credits: Series Editors : Stephanie Hallett, Ashley Davis, Lily

Early companies in the space are going to be the ones focused on driving down unit economics (hopefully) to a point where the technology makes sense from a price perspective.
