“Time Error” message iPhone

i have gotten this message a few times now. It says “Time Error” then continues to tell me that my phone is a certain amount of minutes (usually in seven minute increments, this one is 28 minutes, I’ve gotten one for seven minutes and one for 14 minutes in the past). Any thoughts? I’ve attached a screen shot. Thanks!

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

Hello giovanni4380,


If you haven't already, you may want to verify that the time and date settings are correct on your device. Here's a guide to help: If you can't change the time or time zone on your Apple device - Apple Support.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
2. Turn on Set Automatically1 in Settings > General > Date & Time. This automatically sets your date and time based on your time zone.
3. If a message appears saying that updated time zone information is available, restart your device and any paired Apple Watch.
4. Allow your device to use its current location to determine the correct time zone. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and turn on Setting Time Zone.
5. Check that your device shows the correct time zone in Settings > General > Date & Time > Time Zone.


You can follow the additional steps offered if you still need more help:

On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

1. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time. 
2. Turn off Set Automatically.
3. Now you can change the time zone or the date and time:3
- Tap Time Zone and enter a city with the time zone that you need. 
- Or tap the date to change the date and time.


If you still have the issue, you may want to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance. You can call the number most local to you for support: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.


Cheers!
