My iPhone 14 has recently been changing my stored phone numbers format to a Belgium number format, I follow a useful YouTube instruction on how to return it to UK format and it’s good for a few days but then I notice it has changed back to the Belgium format!!! Any ideas how to change it back to UK format permanently??
iPhone 14, iOS 16
You can change the country format for addresses and phone numbers using https://www.icloud.com
Note: These changes apply only to Contacts on iCloud.com. You must change formatting individually on each of your devices using the Contacts app on iOS and Mac, or Microsoft Outlook on Windows computers. For more information, see the documentation for the apps.

Please check the Phone Number format stored in your Contact list. There must not be any manually added spaces in between the numbers. However when you enter a phone number iPhone will add spaces, hyphen & parenthesis based on the country code prefixed to the number. That is OK, but do not add manually.
