Question

Can you add your time zone if it is not listed?

Community Answer

Search for the name of your country and when you find it, there will be several cities. Choose yours. if you don't find exactly yours (it happens as there are so many in the world), then press on a city that is close to yours and in the same time zone. Do a web search if you're unsure which city is near yours.

Question

I have two dates/times on my iPhone 6 plus. One is the correct date/time, and the other is from three weeks ago. How do I delete the incorrect date/time?

Community Answer

Unless the wrong date and time is showing up, you are fine. If both are showing up, it may be something that should be brought to the repair. Restarting might also help.

What should I do if my timezone says that I'm located in one place, but I'm actually located elsewhere?

Community Answer

Many times, you have to manually input your location. Go to your settings, and then tap the timezone option. Search for your timezone in the menu bar, then select your location once it pops up.
