Profile country flag?

[ManTheVan]

Just out of curiosity, does the profile flag change automatically when you’re overseas, or do you do this yourself?

Automatically

Automatic

Ah, OK, thanks. Only, mine hasn’t yet and I’ve been in France since Tuesday morning…

Wonder if it gets confused (like iPlayer) if you use a VPN?

I believe it's governed by the country that your internet provider or sim provider is based in.
French sim card French flag, UK sim card UK flag.

It will change if you use a local sim card or a local WiFi net. If you are using a UK purchased sim card it doesn't in my experience.

Technically France is still a British colony

That’s the reason then. I’ve been tethered to my phone since arriving.

Thanks, all, for the replies!

I don't think it does because we are in the UK using giffgaff and get the Union Jack, but if I turn my phone On (spanish sim) you will see the Spanish flag, and are trying not to use that because being here over two months get charged roaming. Bob.

Did you get your passport stamped? That triggers the flag change

Then for once I say give it back to them
