The date and time on your iPhone work by displaying time according to the time zone of the area you keep your iPhone. If, for instance, you are using a phone in a country that has adopted the DST or traveling to a country with a different time zone, you have no reason for having an inaccurate phone time.
How to Make Sure Your iPhone Automatically Changes Time
As a default, your iPhone will switch time zones according to your present location, or it can be altered according to the time change due to Daylight Saving Time. To ensure your iPhone does this, go to settings, general, date & time. There should be a checkmark for Set Automatically.
If the list in the Timed Zone field continues to load and does not switch to the selected region, you should return to the main page Settings. Go to Privacy & Security > Location Services and turn the Location Services on if you have not done so.
Next, scroll down again and click on System Services. Toggle on Setting Time Zone. Now if you go back to the Date & Time settings, you can view the chosen city and time zone.
How to Manually Change the Time on an iPhone
At this point, you may need to adjust the time on your iPhone for some reason. Some prefer turning the time forward or backward to ensure we align with the right timeline. You will also have to do this if you have disabled Location Services on an iPhone due to privacy issues.
To manually change the time, tap on the settings icon on your iPad, select settings, then general, and then date and time. Then, you should ensure the set is automatically turned off. You can change the time manually through the computer as you wish afterward.
If, for some reason, the option is displayed as non-clickable and you cannot uncheck it, there are two solutions. First of all, to organize the execution of the task correctly, it is necessary to turn off Screen Time on the iPhone.
The second way is simply to install the newest iOS version on your iPhone.More items • More items General > Software Update will show you if an update is available for your device in Settings.
These two fixes may not be effective for you if your carrier, country, or region does not support the option to switch between automatic and manual time settings. Furthermore, if the iPhone has been set under a corporate profile, all such setting alterations are forbidden by the device.
In one way or another, provided one allows the iPhone to change time automatically, one will never again have to worry over a wrong time setting after a daylight saving change or while in regions observed for such a purpose.
