I don’t know if there are any forum members that use their Apple devices in Spanish, but the latest OSs versions for Apple mobile devices introduced a nasty error: the number format doesn’t contain any thousands separator.
Spanish, as almost all Western European countries, uses the point as thousands separator.
I already contacted Apple about this problem.
I discovered the problem working on a Numbers spreadsheet.
Even formatting a number with thousans separator in Numbers does nothing because it uses the system settings.
Numbers on mobile devices doesn’t have the option for custom formatting. It’s only available on MacOS.
So when I need to print a spreadsheet I open it on my iPhone 6 running iOS 12.4.2 who works as expected.
Incredible!

Surprise, surprise: the problem appears for numbers in the thousands smaller than 10.000,00. To be mathematically clear: greater or equal than 1.000 and smaller than 10.000.
