Possibility to chose time and date format regardless selected language and region setting

[mike_pi]

It looks like current date and time format depend on selected language/region. In case I use English the date and time are displayed in USA standard (12-hour for time and mm-dd-yyyy for date), that is not common and sometimes confusing in many other countries.

It would be nice to have a switch in settings which enables date and time display in ISO format, or some other options like dd-mm-yyyy.

I agree, that would be beneficial since not every english speaker (myself included) uses the USA standard

There is a difference between the language and the locale. That is like 101 for any UI developer. For date and time formating it is locale that must be used rather than language.

I agree too. It would be beneficial to be able to choose whatever date-time format you are used to regardless of language setting.

I don't see that format anywhere.  I'm set to English but also my locale is Europe/London, are you saying you are set to USA locale? Think we need a bit more info as it doesn't seem clear what the trigger is.

Hi, @VikK 
My issue is that I want to use 24-h time and YYYY-MM-DD date, but it looks like there's no such setting in the app. I use English (UK) language on my phone (it's Pixel 3 on Android 12) and the date/time of activities is displayed in some some fixed format (in my case it's 12-h time and Month-Day-Year date), but I would like to change it.

I also don´t wanna see PM or AM time settings. I want 24 hour time.

Got this answer from Strava:

So, they call it "a feature" to express time in 24 hour format. Hilarious! Strange! Weird! So little importance has the European users. US format is the "right" way? Or?

[LastLamplighter]

Yeah this bugs me. I'm UK locale English language, Android app. My phone uses 24 hour clock but Strava sticks to am/pm. Follow the phone settings?  Every other app does this. Twitter. eBay. All respect the phone settings. 

[LastLamplighter]

AM/PM looks weird when every other device, website, kitchen appliance, departure board, here in Europe is 24 hour. 

This isn't a feature request, it's a bug. Your app should follow locale.
