Date & Time

These settings affect the time shown in the status bar at the top of the screen, and in world clocks
and calendars.
Set whether iPhone shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time: Go to Settings > General > Date &
Time, then turn 24-Hour Time on or off. (24-Hour Time may not be available in all areas.)

Set whether iPhone updates the
date and time automatically

iPhone may not be able to automatically set the local time.

Time Zone to set your time zone. Tap the Date & Time button, then tap Set
Date & Time and enter the date and time.
