changing time on iPhone

My iPhone will not let me change the time. The set automatically will not let me turn it off. I live in Arizona and it shows California daylight saving time. Arizona does not have daylight saving time. My iPhone keeps changing from Cupertino time to Denver time. Arizona is now in mountain time zone and yesterday we were in pacific time zone.

Hi there, raysusan.


I see that you're unable to correct the time on your iPhone. You can't deselect "Set Automatically", and the time on your phone keeps changing. I'm glad to help.


Get help with the date and time on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch -- If you're using a Screen Time passcode, turn it off, then check the "Set Automatically" setting. See footnote #1 under "If you still need help".


"The option to turn on Set Automatically might not be available with all carriers or in all countries and regions. If the device has a Screen Time passcode, then the option to turn on Set Automatically will be dimmed, or grayed out."


Let me know how that goes, and take care!
