Clock app and calendar app are crashing
Clock and calendar apps are crashing and can’t add new alarms! What to do????
iPhone 7, iOS 14
I changed my region from US to Lebanon and worked
Question marked as
It just started happening yesterday and/or today, right? Do you live in Beirut? Apparently there’s a bug with Beirut’s timezone because today I got several calls from device owners living in Beirut having the same problem. We switched to Cairo’s timezone and it got resolved.
Apple has had such bugs before by end of a year or end/start of a Month. Usually the problem resolves itself the second day. Good luck!

Yes agreeed - I reported the bug over a week ago and also reached out to apple support. Feedback I received was:
“It looks like there may have been some changes to the interface. I also found some documentation on a similar issue. Can you try setting one up for further out, like in March and maybe change the timezone and see if it crashes the same way”.
They said they would escalate the issue to their senior advisor team and have them call me - unfortunately no one did.
I had to reset all setting first. Then I could change my time zone. And I followed you from Beirut to Cairo. Thank you @iTaher, @rania007 & inalwadi
Thanks for the tip!!!! Switched to Athens time zone and it worked !!!!!
Guys as a workaround, try to keep time zone automatic and just set the Language & Region to Lebanon.
Let me know if it works!
Better use the region trick, since Cairo doesn't use DST since 2014. So you will have a problem once Lebanon starts DST on Sunday, 28 March 2021 — 1 hour forward.
you can turn it back on after changing the timezone
Only if you report it!
With all due respect Beirut is a small place so make sure to post a Bug report to Apple
I’ve been having this issue too! I don’t know if it’s linked to the latest software update but I’m also currently in Beirut and friends and family all have the same issue on their iPhones and iPads. I tried with Apple support to do a forced restart, offload the calendar app and reinstall it, etc.. but nothing. Will try changing time zones and see if that helps - thanks for the suggestion!
Thank u for the reply! I switched it to cairo and it got fixed.
Maybe because some of the devices under screen time are still on Beirut timezone?
Only people signed into the Beta program can use feedback assistant
If the bug does not relate to a beta version please use Bug report
I did the force restart and updated all apps and ios! Nothing’s working
