If you can't change the time or time zone on your Apple device

You can use Date & Time settings to have your device adjust automatically for time zone changes and daylight saving time. If the wrong date, time, or time zone appears on your device, or if it doesn't automatically adjust for daylight saving time, learn what to do.

Set the date and time automatically

The option to set the date and time automatically might not be available for your device.* Follow these steps to make sure that your device is able to set the time and time zone automatically.

iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro

  1. Make sure that your device is connected to the internet.

  2. Install the latest software updates for your device:

  3. Turn on Set Automatically in Settings > General > Date & Time. This automatically sets your date and time based on your time zone. Is this setting dimmed?

  4. If a message says that updated time zone information is available, restart your device and any paired Apple Watch.

  5. Allow your device to use its current location to determine the correct time zone. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services and turn on Setting Time Zone.

Mac

  1. Make sure that your Mac is connected to the internet.

  2. Open Location Services settings and make sure that Location Services is turned on. Then scroll to the bottom of the list of apps and services and click the Details button next to System Services. Make sure that the settings for time zone and system customization are turned on.

  3. Open Date & Time settings and make sure that the option to set time and date automatically, as well as the option to set time zone automatically, are both turned on.

  4. Restart your Mac.

Apple TV

These steps require tvOS 10 or later on Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4K. If you're using an older version of tvOS or an older Apple TV, you can set the time zone manually.

  1. Make sure that your Apple TV is connected to the internet.

  2. Go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the Date & Time section and turn on Set Automatically. If it’s already turned on, turn it off and back on. If a message says that updated time zone information is available, restart your Apple TV to get the update.

  3. If the message doesn't appear, press and hold the Back buttonNo alt supplied for Image or the Menu button on your Apple TV remote to go to the Home Screen. Wait several minutes, then return to Date & Time settings in Settings > General. If the message appears now, restart your Apple TV to get the update.

Set the date and time manually

If your device still shows an incorrect date, time, or time zone, change each setting manually instead of using Set Automatically. For example, you might have iOS 9 or earlier, and your country, region, or government changes the time zone or the observance of daylight saving time.

iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro

  1. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time.

  2. Turn off Set Automatically. Is this setting dimmed?

  3. Change the time zone or the date and time:

    • Tap Time Zone and enter a city with the time zone that you need.

    • Or tap the date to change the date and time.

  1. Go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the Date & Time section and turn off Set Automatically.

  2. Go to Settings > General > Time Zone, then choose a time zone.
