Date and time

to see if they’re correct.
Set whether iPhone updates the date and time automatically. Go to Settings > General >
Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically on or o. If you set iPhone to update the time
automatically, it gets the correct time over the cellular network and updates it for the time zone

automatically determine the local time.
Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn o Set
Automatically.
