Language codes don't map 1:1 to a country. E.g en_GB (default) can be mapped to many dialing country codes in the dropdown. Similar goes for French, Spanish, and other more widely spoken languages. |

Why would you like to do it?
Currently, the phone number country code defaults to 🇬🇧
United Kingdom (+44). It stands out in the settings as someone who lives in the US:The picker already has the
United States (+1)as the second option by default:How would you like to achieve it?
Instead of pulling from location or based off of IP, maybe we can infer a bit from
window.navigator.languagesince it'sen-USfor me in the US. Obviously not applicable for all situations since people can change their language to whatever but it's an easy heuristic for the majority in the US.Have you considered any alternatives?
