How to Change the Time on your iPhone

Having the correct time on your phone is obviously useful. If you have gone on holiday, or work in a different time zone, you may have noticed that even with the time set to adjust automatically, it can take a while to catch up. This guide will walk you through the process of changing the time on your Apple iPhone manually. In this article, we are going to talk about How to Change the Time on your iPhone. Let’s begin!

The time settings can be found in the Settings app, under Settings > General > Date & Time. There are four settings that we can configure. The first setting is a toggle between a 12- and 24-hour clock.

The second setting is “Set Automatically”. If you enable it to your phone, then it will use your GPS location to automatically change your clock. Whenever you go to a different time zone and for daylight savings. If you enable this setting, then it can sometimes take time a while for the time to update. This can cause issues as you may not know exactly when the time has updated which can cause confusion.

Change the Time

When you enable “Set Automatically”, the time zone should be automatically set. If this is working correctly, a city name should be shown on the right-hand side of the “Time Zone” bar.

If there is no city name listed on the right-hand side, you need to make sure that location services can be used to set the time. To do this go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and ensure that “Setting Time Zone” is set to “On”.

If you disable “Set Automatically”, you can manually configure the time zone by tapping on “Time Zone”. Here you can select a city and country to sync the time to. Not all cities are on the list so you may have to choose a nearby city. Just make sure that the city is in the same time zone as you – if necessary, Google can help you figure it out!

If you disable “Set Automatically”, then you will see a date and time selection bar under the time zone field. If you tap on the date you can then precisely configure the date and time down to the minute.

Tip: | Change the Time

The manual time, when set, assumes that the minute you chose just started. So it will be a full 60 seconds before it changes from 1:28 to 1:29 for example. Consider this if you really want your clock to be spot on!
