Your vivo phone can show menus, notifications, apps, and the keyboard in the language you use most often. If you have just bought a new device, share it with someone who prefers another language, or simply want a regional language setup, changing it takes only a minute. This guide explains how to change both the system language and keyboard language on a vivo phone, step by step, for Funtouch OS and the newer OriginOS.

vivo uses two interfaces depending on the model and software version: Funtouch OS on most current and older devices, and OriginOS 6, based on Android 16, which vivo began rolling out globally from late 2025. The steps below cover both, since the menu labels differ only slightly.
 

Once you know how to switch languages, it becomes easier to set up a new vivo phone exactly the way you want. If you also plan to upgrade your handset, you do not have to pay the full price upfront — you may qualify for a pre-approved loan from Bajaj Finance and buy your chosen vivo phone on Easy EMIs.

There are several common reasons why users change the language on a vivo device:

• Personal preference: You may feel more comfortable using menus and settings in your native or regional language.
• New phone setup: A newly purchased or reset device may default to a language you do not understand.
• Accidental change: The language may have been switched unintentionally and needs to be restored.
• Shared device usage: Different users of the same phone may prefer different language settings.
• Language learning: Switching the device language can also support practice and improve familiarity with a new language.

Changing the system language on a vivo phone helps you personalise the entire interface for easier navigation, better understanding, and a more comfortable overall smartphone experience.

Steps to change system language on a vivo phone

1. Open settings: Launch the Settings app from your home screen or app drawer to begin accessing system options.
2. Go to system management: Scroll down and tap System management or Additional settings, depending on your vivo model and software version.
3. Select language and input: Tap Language and input to open all language-related settings for your device.
4. Open language settings; Select Language or Languages to view the list of available system languages.
5. Choose preferred language: Tap your desired language from the list to set it as the system default.
6. Confirm and apply: Confirm your selection if prompted, and the phone will instantly update the entire interface language.

vivo phones come with many languages pre-installed, but if your preferred language is missing, you can still add it easily.

1. Open language settings: Go to Settings, then System, then Languages and input, and open Languages to access all available language options.

4. Select region: Tap the language and choose the correct country or region to ensure proper dictionary and localisation support.
5. Set as default: Return to the Languages screen and move the newly added language to the top of the list to make it the system default.

1. Open keyboard settings: Go to Settings, then System, then Languages and input, and tap your active keyboard such as Gboard or vivo input method to access keyboard options.
