Incorrect Auto-Time Zone

Hi, my IPhone 7’s auto-time zone settings are automatically showing Cupertino while it is supposed to give me Seattle, USA (my real location). What do I do about it ?

iPhone 7, iOS 14

You don't need to do anything about it. Both Seattle and Cupertino are in the same time zone (Pacific). Apple just uses Cupertino as the example city in that time zone. If you want it to say "Seattle", you'll need to turn off "Set Automatically".


I live in the Eastern time zone. The time zone on my phone shows as New York. I live about 100 miles from New York.
