    Iphone Region settings tip

    If you are an expat or just borrowing an iPhone which did not cone from the USA you might be struggling with something that troubled me for almost 2 years. How to change the default search engine for Safari. I don't mean selecting a different provider. There are only two and they are listed under Safari settings. No. I mean what can you do if google search in Safari always comes up as google.dk or google.es? It's simple just change your international region under the General Settings Page. Voilà!

    Please send me a link or some pictures of your iphone screens....maybe I can help. You need to push both buttons at once, to get a "screen" shot.

    What version of IOS are your running (check Itunes to be sure)
