iPhone shows wrong time - what to do?

If your iPhone or iPad shows the wrong time, it is usually neither the device nor iOS. We will show you what you can do in this case.

Check the time on the iPhone - how it works

1. Go to "Settings" on your iPhone or iPad and navigate from there to "General" -> "Date & Time".
2. Make sure that the correct time zone is selected under "Time zone" and the option "Set automatically" is activated.

Wrong time on the iPhone despite the correct setting - it may be because of it

If you checked the time zone in the settings and the time is still not correct, the cause may be with your provider.

• Contact your network provider. The automatic time setting option is not available for all network operators in all countries.
• If necessary, deactivate the "Set automatically" option and set the time manually.
