I love Zwift. But…
Date format DD/MM/YYYY please as a setting.
Bumping this.
Please make this configurable. I can imagine that MM/DD/YYYY is what the US is used to, but for us foreigners it is an awful and confusing format. Making this configurable or changing it to YYYY-MM-DD would be a very welcome feature.

We just write it the way you say it:
Dec 19th, 2021…12/19/2021.
Voted for 2021/12/19.

No. You write it the way YOU say it. Consider, the 19th of December 2021. 19/12/2021. There are differences worldwide.
If you go digging around on Google regarding the American date format, you’ll find it is used in the USA, The Philippines, some parts of Canada and Micronesia. The majority of the world does not use it.
I wonder if there are more users worldwide on Zwift than there are in the US?

This argument can degenerate quickly, as people who are used to the system that is used throughout their own region find it ‘natural’ and therefore feel attacked when it is questioned.
What is indisputable is the ambiguity and therefore unreliability of a date appearing as, for example, 03/04/2021, with no other context. We can never be sure if it’s 3rd April or 4th March. (And no, the rest of the world is not going to adopt the US format.)
An ideal solution provides the information unambiguously, either representing the month with three letters instead of a number, e.g. 3 Apr 2021 or 4 Mar 2021, or the very logical and already internationally used YYYY-MM-DD. The units of time are in a coherent size order (largest to smallest from left to right), plus US users and the few others who use that format also retain their familiar month-followed-by-date order. Everyone’s happy and - most importantly - can tell at a glance what date is intended.

Well said. Zwift - over to you.
up next… time format
Why doesn’t Zwift use military time, no am or pm, just 24 hour format!

Previously, Zwift have said that about 25% of Zwifters are from the US, “about half” from Europe, which leaves 25% from the rest of the world.

Having said that, preferred date formats are a bit like languages or imperial/metric units - people tend to prefer the one they’re used to, so the only way to make everyone happy is to give everyone the choice.

Now that is an easy thing change.
It wouldn’t take them even 30min to set up THAT feature in our settings.
Not much harder than timezone setting.
