Country guessing from browser language not working properly.

[micichon]

Hello!

Summary

I have a problem with Matomo trying to guess users location form web Browser. My application is not very complicated, that's why I want it to use default geolocation setting. However as much as geolocation works properly when I use the application on Android, It does not work when I try to use it on IOS. Matomo shows the message that it recognises the web language but does not set the localisation properly. I am scratching my head why that might be the case and I would appreciate all the help I can get.

Here Matomo is properly recognizing the location when using Android:

And here is the same but when using Iphone:

Note that I tried to change the browser languages to match and be different and it did not help.

Matomo basically detects the language based on the headers sent with the request. So this detection depends on the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE. If iOS sends that as en, Matomo can't detect anything based on that, as English is a language spoken in too many countries.
