Phone "Clock" is Showing Wrong Time

4.5

Your phone time is off by several minutes or hours, causing alarms to fail.

Symptoms
  • Incorrect time
  • Alarms not going off
  • SSL errors in browser
Possible Causes
  • Network time sync failure
  • Wrong time zone
  • Manual override

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Enable "Set Automatically"

Settings > General > Date & Time > Toggle ON "Set Automatically".

2

Check Time Zone

Ensure the phone hasn't detected the wrong city or region.

3

Restart with SIM Card

Phones often get their time from the cellular network towers.

When to See a Technician

If your clock is wrong, many websites won't load because their security certificates will appear "expired" or "not yet valid".
