# How to update your personal settings

**For:** Shift worker

## What you can change

::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: platform

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

- **Language** — the language {{ app_name }} is shown in.
- **Region** — drives date, time, and number formats.
- **Time zone** — used for every time you see in the app.
- **First day of week** — Monday or Sunday on calendars.
- **Slot times** — the earliest and latest time the calendar shows.
- **Assignment display** — show team members as avatars or as a name list.

Click **'Save'**. The next page you load uses the new language, region, and calendar settings.

:::{tab-item} Mobile app
:sync: mobile

Tap a row under **'Preferences'** and pick a value — there's no **'Save'** button; the choice applies as soon as you make it.

- **'Appearance'** — **'System'**, **'Light'**, or **'Dark'**. Phone only.
- **'Language'** — **'English'**, **'German'**, **'French'**, or **'Italian'**. The app re-renders immediately.
- **'Region'** — drives date, time, and number formats.
- **'Time zone'** — used for every time you see in the app.
- **'First day of week'**.

**'Region'**, **'Time zone'**, and **'First day of week'** are shared with the web — change them on either and the other follows. **'Appearance'** is device-local. Slot times and assignment display are web-only settings; the mobile app has no calendar grid to apply them to.

The **'Account'** section above holds **'Profile'** (your sign-in email, read-only), **'Organization'** (see {doc}`/settings-and-admin/tenants/switch-tenant`), **'Notification settings'**, and two phone-only toggles: **'Sync shifts to calendar'** and **'Require Face ID / passcode'**.
