Changing the Default Alert Time from 9am to fit my need

Hey there,

how can I change the Default Alert Time, ie for Birthdays, to any time that suits my needs?


I am working mostly at night and so a Birthday Reminder at 9am is pretty…useless to me. This is my first iPhone and I love it but things like these will hinder me to ever buy one again.


Just be that kind and let me know: does Apple want my iPhone to individually fit my needs? And if so: how can I change it?

It are these little things that hinder whole real flows though I love it in general. It’s just, others allow me so much more individuality…it’s weird.


Thanks for any help regarding this issue.

iPhone 12, iOS 16
